| May–July (cooler months) | Plan orders early—east coast warehouses can take longer during weather disruptions. |
| September–October (spring events) | Rotate backup pairs into colour work, book Wicked Edge or Edge Revival slots ahead of wedding/ball season. |
| November–December (festive rush) | Confirm courier cut-offs, double up on rotations, lock in January maintenance while technicians have availability. |
Questions to ask suppliers and sharpeners
- What corrosion protection is recommended? Look for coatings or higher-grade steel (ATS314, VG10) and follow nightly care instructions.
- Which technicians keep my warranty valid? Note approved sharpeners before sending premium shears.
- Are demos or trials available locally? Ask distributors (Japan Scissors, salon wholesalers) whether they offer demo kits or on-site trials before you commit.
- What aftercare extras are included? Tension keys, cloths, or first sharpening can tip value comparisons.
Support tailored to your business
- Independent stylists: Use local pickups when possible and keep a mail-in backup plan for busy weeks.
- Salon owners: Partner with trade wholesalers (Salon Warehouse WA, Co-op) to manage fleet inventory and negotiate bundles.
- Education teams: Coordinate with Japan Scissors or local wholesalers for demo kits during workshops and expo appearances.
- Barbers: Book mobile sharpeners ahead of seasonal rushes; ensure sword blades stay rust-free with silica gel and oiling.
