About SCISSOR WARRIOR
SCISSOR WARRIOR operates out of Gainesville, Florida and keeps its catalogue to four specialist Japanese brands — Michiko, JP Plan, Apsun, Akiko — giving buyers a focused professional selection without an overwhelming shelf. The store’s position is factory-direct, which helps keep Japanese lines accessible at the $400–$700 retail bracket for working stylists. The focused catalogue rewards buyers who already know the convex-edge tradition and want the right Michiko model for their technique; stylists looking for German alternatives, swivel-handle specialists, or ergonomic outliers can pair a SCISSOR WARRIOR purchase with a complementary specialist from another retailer.
The depth shows in how the Michiko Select lines split by purpose. The CH series is forged from premium high-carbon stainless with a classic offset handle and a true convex edge, built for blunt cutting and crisp perimeter lines where the blade must not push hair forward during the cut. The OK series uses a Japanese cobalt alloy paired with a pronounced crane handle — the crane geometry drops the elbow and keeps the wrist neutral, which matters most on long scissor-over-comb runs and detailed face-framing where musculoskeletal strain compounds. Both series use adjustable countersunk tension screws and screw-in bumpers for a quiet, stable closure. Email info@scissorwarrior.com for technique-matched model guidance.
