Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Joewell New Era a good first professional scissor?
Yes. The New Era is Joewell's entry-level model, offering Japanese manufacturing quality at a lower price point. It uses a standard blade rather than a convex edge, making it forgiving for newer stylists.
What is the difference between Stainless Alloy and Supreme Stainless Alloy?
Supreme Stainless Alloy is Joewell's higher-grade steel used in the Classic and PRO lines, offering better edge retention and hardness. Stainless Alloy in the New Era is a reliable workhorse steel at a more accessible price.
