New to ShearGenius? Why working hairdressers switch →

Buy your tools before June 30

If you run your own business — salon owner, chair renter, or self-employed stylist with an ABN — eligible businesses can deduct the full purchase price of professional scissors this financial year under the ATO’s $20,000 instant asset write-off. The ATO requires your scissors to be delivered and in use by 30 June 2026 to claim in this year’s return — order by Tuesday 24 June and we’ll have them in your hands in time. Employed hairdressers: tools of trade are also deductible — items $300 or under in full this year, over $300 over their effective life. Keep your receipt.

This is general information only and doesn’t consider your circumstances. Speak to your accountant or registered tax adviser about your eligibility.

Five working hairdressers, filmed on a normal day. No script, no payment — just professionals who've cut with the same ShearGenius scissor for ten, fifteen, twenty years and won't pick up anything else.

How SlicePay works

Matt Grumley and Aaron Davis — ShearGenius founders

Matt + Aaron · 75+ Years Combined

Matt Grumley · Australia's Scissorsmith

“I lead from the front — Aaron on the road, me at the bench. The brands we compete with are marketing companies. We’re the ones holding the scissors.”

Matt has personally inspected every scissor ShearGenius has ever sold — forty thousand and counting — and sharpened over one hundred thousand more across Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Aaron, cutting since 1987, is the face in the salons. Behind them: the studio team, same-day dispatch, long-standing Japanese forging partners, and a multi-state mobile sharpening fleet no marketing company can copy. Founder-led. Wholesale direct. No middlemen, no markup.
