Why salon owners love Jaguar
- Standard tension hardware that most Australian sharpeners service same-day.
- Broad size runs (4.5”-7”) so every stylist on the roster gets a comfortable fit.
- Matching thinners available for almost every cutter, keeping tension and feel consistent across the team.
- Reliable supply through JapanScissors*, ScissorHub, and BarberScissors.com.au so replacements land fast.
- ScissorPedia keeps a running chart of Jaguar screw/insert part numbers—log updates there when you service kits.
Care tips to stretch the lifespan
- Daily: Wipe, disinfect, and oil the pivot. Bevel edges respond well to nightly TLC.
- Weekly: Drop test and microfibre polish. Colour-coated models stay brighter if you avoid abrasive cloths.
- Sharpening: Schedule every 8-10 months; bevel and semi-convex edges can be serviced by most mobile techs. Flag premium Silver/Gold Line pairs for convex specialists.
- Storage: Use blade guards in team drawers; Jay 2 and Pre Style handles like to clink together and blunt tips.
- Documentation: Note every service or fall in your ScissorPedia maintenance log—lifesaver when rotating kits between stylists.
