At Akito Scissors, our mission is to redefine the hairdressing and barbering industry through a business model rooted in sustainability, efficiency, and affordability.

We believe that quality hairdressing tools shouldn’t come at the expense of our planet. By restructuring our approach to eliminate third-party intermediaries and unnecessary processes such as middlemen, multiple shipments, and excess packaging we’ve built a streamlined, eco-conscious operation. This not only means lower prices for our customers but also a significant reduction in waste and emissions, creating a cleaner, more sustainable future for our industry.

Environmentally focused operations

Reduced carbon footprint. By removing additional logistics and transportation steps from our supply chain, we reduce the need for extra road and air miles. Fewer shipments mean fewer emissions, translating into a smaller carbon footprint with every pair of scissors that reaches your hands. Each step we save in the supply chain contributes to a leaner, greener operation.

Minimised packaging. With fewer intermediaries involved, we minimise our use of paper, cardboard, and plastic packaging materials. Instead of layering on packaging for added shipping and distribution stages, we focus on efficiency, using only what’s necessary. This streamlined process reduces waste and maximises the use of eco-friendly materials, helping us limit our environmental impact.

Products that last. We prioritise durability and craftsmanship to create scissors that last longer and maintain their quality over time. By focusing on longevity, we reduce the need for frequent replacements, helping you invest in tools that endure while lessening the environmental impact of ongoing production cycles. Our commitment to quality is a commitment to sustainability.

Demand driven production. We produce based on demand rather than mass manufacturing, which prevents overproduction and the excess inventory that often leads to waste. By aligning our production to match customer needs, we avoid the pitfalls of surplus stock, minimising the environmental strain of overproduction and reducing unnecessary resource consumption.

Our commitment to a greener future

At Akito Scissors, we are dedicated to reducing emissions, optimising resources, and embedding sustainable practices into every facet of our operations. Choosing Akito Scissors means joining us in contributing to a sustainable and eco-friendly industry that values the planet as much as it values quality.
