About SCISSOR WARRIOR
Scissor Warrior — a US-based professional scissor specialist — carries Akiko, Apsun, JP Plan, and MICHIKO scissors for American salon stylists and barbers. The multi-brand catalogue covers different price points and technique preferences within the US professional scissor market.
Brands at Scissor Warrior
Akiko is a Japanese professional scissor brand positioned at the mid-professional tier, with convex-edge shears suited to everyday salon work.
Apsun extends the catalogue at an accessible price point, providing US stylists a route into Japanese-specification tooling without flagship-level investment.
JP Plan adds a specialist option for stylists looking for something outside the most widely distributed Japanese brands. For model details and specifications, the retailer’s catalogue is the reference.
MICHIKO rounds out the selection. The MICHIKO line is also carried by Sharp-Kai; having it at Scissor Warrior alongside three other brands gives buyers a multi-brand comparison before committing.

The US mid-professional market
Scissor Warrior’s four-brand mix — Akiko, Apsun, JP Plan, and MICHIKO — targets the US mid-professional market where stylists want Japanese-specification quality without flagship pricing. This is one of the most active purchasing tiers in the US market: experienced stylists who have outgrown entry tools but aren’t yet at the investment level of premium cobalt or powder-steel shears.
The combination of brands at different price points means Scissor Warrior can serve a stylist at multiple stages of their tool progression — starting with Apsun or JP Plan early in their career, adding Akiko as a step up, and comparing MICHIKO against the other three before committing. Multi-brand distributors that cover this range give buyers a comparative view that single-brand channels cannot.
