Fan Out Shears Live From: Premiere Orlando 2009

www.modernsalon.com is featuring our
upcoming Multi Purpose shears

Dear Friends,
Now you can see us at www.modernsalon.com featuring our upcoming Multi Purpose shears. You can move your thumb any place you want and it can swivel, too.
Jeff Wacker of Alterna, Rene` Antonio of Scruples, Tyson Daniel of Pureology and Alanna Widgiz of Alterna Canada were demonstrating our shears on the video.
I will be in Japan this month and meeting with owners of Japanese Beauty magazine companies. I hope that I can help to bring Japanese and American stylists together in the near future.

See you at NAHA.

From Russia with Beauty

I attended a show call Beautycup in St. Petersburg, Russia  and this might be the biggest competition in the world. There were more than 2000 competitors from different countries such as Japan, England, Italy, Poland and Finland. They had also exhibitions and I met Rafe Hardy of Sexyhair. Their booth was very busy and Russian were very interested in new products. They have the show in September and February and if you are interested in going there, please feel free to contact me. I have visited many countries and this is one of the most beautiful city to visit. The entry fee for a foreigner is free. The hotel is about $40 a night with breakfast. Their Russian website is www.beautycup.info and I have an entry information in English.

New Shears at Twin State show in VA

Dear Friends,

We are introducing our new shears at Twin State distributor show in VA this weekend. These are very offset shears and there are many different ways to use them. See attached pictures.

We have shown our prototype Multi Purpose Shears at Long Beach and Chicago show and the response was amazing.
You can move your thumb location from front to back and it swivels. We are applying for Patent and we will have these shears in 6 months. These are part of Mushin shears and I am very excited about them. I believe that these will change the concept of shears.

Have a nice week and hope to see you at Twin State show.

Regards,

Tak

12 Month Payment Plan Available

I have visited over 300 salons in the last 16 months and I’ve come to find that many stylists are sharpening their shears every 3 to 4 months. Most shear companies use machines to sharpen and take too much steel off. Many of the shears are not usable at the end of 3rd year and stylists end up spending $300 for sharpening. Let’s say stylists buy a pair of $200 shears, plus $300 for sharpening and now have to buy another shears ending up to a total of $700.

You have seen many companies sharpen shears at conventions and take about 5 minutes to complete a sharpen job. Here at Fan Out Shears, we sharpen our shears by hand and takes about 40 minutes to complete a sharpening job. We charge $35 for sharpen jobs which includes shipping. We believe that it is a service for our customers and we don’t make money for sharpening.

Our experience from our customers is that our Molybdenum shears last about 1 year, Cobalt shears last about 1.5 years before sharpening and our texture shears are lasting over 3 years. Shears last differently depending on how you take care of them, how you operate your shears and how you set you shears’ tension.

My wish is that many stylists will be able to use the best shears in the world. We are now offering a 12 month payment plan. I hope you enjoy Fan Out shears.

New Damascus Shears.

We use 2 different types of metal to make our Damascus Shears. We fold nickel and Cobalt stainless steel together many times to make the Damascus Steel. The alternating layers of soft and hard materials result in more flexibility and strength to the steel than solid steel. We use stainless steel for the handles. We then apply a special heat treatment to the shears which makes them harder and smoother. The blades of the Damascus Shears have a wood grain pattern. These are very special shears and all have been numbered.

FM TREATMENT

Dear Friends,

We are now introducing our FM Treatment shears. This is a special heat treatment on our shears that makes them stronger and feel smoother and lighter. We have been testing it since last year and the results are fantastic. We are the only one who knows how to apply this special heat treatment and this will make us apart from other shear manufactures. You can order with this FM treatment or we can put the FM treatment when we sharpen your shears. It will cost an extra $85 for the FM treatment.

Regards,

FM treatmet shears feel lighter and cut better than my regular Fan Out shears. I was very surprised that my customers noticed the smoothness while I was cutting her hair.
