About Japan Scissors
Japan Scissors is a Melbourne-based professional scissor specialist operating as the Australian flagship of a global family of sister storefronts spanning the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, France, and Italy. Operating as Nippon Shears Pty Ltd, the business connects Australian hairdressers and barbers with Yasaka, Ichiro, KASHO, Mina, Joewell, Juntetsu, Kamisori, Jaguar, and Feather.
At a glance — why Australian stylists choose Japan Scissors
- Stock supplied from Japan — Australian stock arrives through established distributor and retailer channels across Japanese ranges including Yasaka, Ichiro, KASHO, Mina, Joewell, and Juntetsu.
- Fair prices, held steady — in a market where rising wholesale costs keep pushing premium tool prices up, Japan Scissors partners closely with its Japanese suppliers to keep professional shears genuinely accessible. Savings from direct sourcing are passed through to the customer instead of absorbed as margin.
- Student to top-shelf coverage in one catalogue — the range covers first-kit apprentice shears from around $150 AUD through to flagship Kamisori Damascus and powder-steel models in the $1,000–$2,000+ range, so stylists can stay with the same trusted store as their skill and budget grow.
- A full professional kit under one roof — beyond cutting shears the catalogue extends to Feather replaceable-blade razors, thinning and texturising scissors, finger inserts, tension keys, shear cases, camellia oil, and other maintenance accessories.
- Australia-based customer care — phone, email, warranty, exchange, and sizing consultation all handled locally; no overseas helpdesk queues, no guessing at translation.
- Global footprint, local accountability — sister stores in seven other markets mean the parent business has real international scale, while each regional storefront is accountable to its own customers.
Catalogue depth — from first-kit apprentice through flagship master shear
The Japanese ranges span several professional needs. Yasaka offers 440C options, Ichiro covers cutters and sets, KASHO brings VG-10W choices, Mina provides several sizes and finishes, Joewell adds cobalt designs, and Juntetsu includes longer-blade systems. Kamisori, Germany’s Jaguar, and Feather round out the wider selection.
Razors, thinners, and the accessories that complete the kit
Feather is the benchmark Japanese razor brand, and Japan Scissors carries the full Australian line: the Feather Styling Razor, Switch Blade Shears, and professional replaceable razor blades that changed modern texture cutting. Thinning shears from across the brand list cover everything from light blending (10–15% removal) through aggressive bulk removal (40%+), and the accessory range covers camellia oil, hard and soft shear cases, tension adjustment keys, finger inserts, and everyday maintenance supplies.
Shipping, warranty, and the practical stuff
Australia Post Express handles domestic orders with tracking; FedEx International covers overseas. A US mail-forward address simplifies returns for North American customers. Every pair ships with the full manufacturer warranty on material and workmanship defects, and the exchange policy is designed so stylists can test-fit ergonomics without losing money if the size or handle style is not quite right. Reach the team at support@japanscissors.com.au or +61 0482 091 995 for sizing, brand comparison, international shipping, or warranty questions — the team treats the phone line as a real technique-consult channel, not a help-desk script.
