Distribution
K5 International sells through its official website (k5international.com.au) and through Scissor City in New Zealand. For American stylists, direct purchasing would involve ordering from Australia. There are no US based retailers currently listed in our records for K5 International products.
Manufacturing
K5 states that production is supervised by professionals and that products undergo multiple quality tests before release. The company also offers custom work, noting that they manufacture according to customer instructions on size, structure, and packaging. That custom capability is not something every brand offers and may be of interest to salons looking to standardize their kit with specific specifications.
