Business Description
Turn key! Mobile business only, no storefront. Servicing salons and barbershops in the NY Capital Region. Provide sales of high-end Japanese shears and the expert sharpening service to maintain them.
This is a family owned business (husband and wife) with 20 years of established clientele and a solid 5 star reputation. Certified Master Sharpener since 2006.
Set your own schedule. Work alone or with a partner.
Drive to the salon/barbershop and collect the shears to be sharpened same day in your mobile workshop. (see video) This is a specialized, Japanese style, hand sharpening of high-end hand-crafted hair cutting shears that requires specialized equipment and training that the far majority of sharpeners cannot provide. We also have relationships with beauty supply stores that sponsor Sharpening Events.
Inventory of some of the highest quality shears and accessories included. Shears are like shoes, they don't fit everyone the same and there are various models for different purposes. This makes it difficult for stylist to buy online. We provide hair stylists the opportunity to try dozens of different shears in their hands, providing personal customization and the opportunity to use them before buying. The only other place they have to do this is the annual Beauty Shows in other parts of the country. The value of bringing the show to them is niche!

Additional Profit & Loss and Business Evaluation provided after signing NDA.
