Not every scissor company starts with a corporate budget, a flashy logo, or some viral marketing stunt.

Some start with a single moment. A pair of hair scissors. And an obsession.

Over a decade ago, Shear Fanatic™ Scissor Company didn’t exist. I was handed a single pair of scissors for hair, and that one moment changed everything. The way they felt. The way they cut. The way they worked with me, not against me. I was hooked.

What followed wasn’t just a business. It was a mission.

Where It All Began: One Pair of Shears

• That first pair of shears lit a fire in me I couldn’t ignore.

• I wanted to understand how they worked, how they were made, and what made them great.

• I dove deep into the art of sharpening—not just learning how to sharpen, but how to do it the right way.

• I studied with some of the top craftspeople in the country to become a true master sharpener, not just another hobbyist with a wheel.

Uncovering the Ugly Truth of the Shear Industry

• I started selling other well-known scissor brands—excited to help stylists and barbers get quality tools.

• But then I discovered something that changed everything:

  • Most of these “premium” brands were all coming out of the same factories in China.

  • Many were using misleading language, claiming their hair shears were “Made in Japan” when they weren’t.

  • The markups were outrageous. $500–$800 for a shear that cost $30–$50 to produce.

• I knew I couldn’t keep selling something I didn’t believe in. So, I stopped.
