## Our mission SalonScissors exists to give Australian hairstylists and barbers straight-talking guidance about their tools. That means: - Factual, brand-agnostic reviews grounded in salon-floor experience and manufacturer research. - Ergonomics advice that protects wrists, shoulders, and careers. - Maintenance plans and templates that keep warranties valid and scissors performing. - Local stockist and sharpening directories that remove the guesswork from sourcing. ## Why it matters We’ve worked the long Saturdays in Sydney humidity, the Melbourne Cup gauntlets, the suburban barbershop line-ups. Cheap shears, poor maintenance, and inconsistent advice cost stylists money and their health. We’re here to fix that. ## How we help - **Knowledge base**: Guides on steel, handles, sharpening, and buying decisions—all written in a seasoned stylists’ voice. - **Toolkits**: Printable checklists, rotation planners, warranty trackers, and outreach scripts. - **Stockist network**: City-by-city lists of authorised suppliers and technicians, updated as the market shifts. - **Consulting & training**: Scissor audits, ergonomics workshops, and toolkit licensing for salons and educators. ## What we stand for - **Hands first**: Every recommendation prioritises stylist health and longevity. - **Honesty over hype**: No affiliate links, no brand bias—just what works behind the chair. - **Australian context**: Local climates, freight realities, and trade requirements shape our guidance. - **Continuous learning**: We track manufacturer updates, ScissorPedia research, and stylist feedback to keep information current. ## Meet the audience we serve - Independent stylists building a premium kit without wasting money. - Barbers raising their fade game with stronger ergonomics. - Salon owners equipping teams and standardising maintenance. - Educators turning complex scissor science into digestible lessons. ## Get involved - Start with the [Stockists & Sharpening hub](/pages/stockists/) to map suppliers. - Dive into the [Toolkit Downloads](/pages/toolkit-downloads/) for print-ready checklists. - Need personalised help?
