Can I get a sample order before signing up as a Takumi reseller?
Yes, Takumi welcomes sample requests from businesses that are evaluating the range before committing to a reseller agreement. Requesting samples is a standard step in the onboarding process and allows you to assess quality, fit, and positioning within your own product assortment.
Who can request a sample order?
Sample requests are open to wholesalers who are seriously considering carrying Takumi products. The process is designed for B2B contacts in the Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark, Poland, and other markets where Takumi is expanding its dealer network. Private individuals looking for a single pair should visit the shop directly to explore the available models.
How does the sample request process work?
To start a sample request, contact Takumi through the dealer inquiry form on this website. You will be asked to provide basic business details, including your company name, VAT number, and the type of business you operate. The team will follow up to discuss which models are most relevant for your customer base and to agree on the scope of the sample selection.
What can I expect from a sample evaluation?
Sample products allow you to examine build quality, ergonomics, edge finish, and packaging firsthand. Takumi scissors are developed with professional daily use in mind, so evaluation in a real working environment is encouraged. Feedback gathered during the sample phase can also inform which models and quantities make sense for your first reseller order.
Are there conditions attached to receiving samples?
Specific terms for sample orders, including any costs or minimum quantities, are discussed during the dealer onboarding conversation. Takumi does not publish fixed sample pricing publicly, as arrangements are tailored to the type and scale of the prospective reseller relationship. No long-term commitment is required simply to request and evaluate samples.
Where do I go next if I want to proceed?
If you are ready to start the conversation, the dealer inquiry section of the Takumi shop is the right place to submit your details. From there our team can guide you through sample selection, product documentation, and the steps toward a formal reseller agreement.

Can I Order Takumi Directly or Only Through a Distributor?
Takumi are available both through authorised distributors and dealers, and directly through this webshop. If you prefer to order without an intermediary, you are welcome to place an order here. For businesses looking to carry Takumi in their own assortment, a dealer or distributor arrangement is also possible.
Who can buy Takumi directly from this webshop?
Both individual professionals, such as hairdressers and barbers, and businesses can purchase Takumi through this webshop. The shop serves as the official online catalogue and point of contact for the brand. Direct orders placed here are processed and fulfilled by Takumi without an additional intermediary.
What is the role of authorised dealers and distributors?
Takumi works with a network of authorised dealers and distributors across several markets, including the Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark and Poland. These partners carry TakumiShears within their own professional assortment and can offer local service, advice and availability. Buying through an authorised dealer is a fully supported option and often the most practical choice for customers who already work with a trusted supplier.
How can a business become an authorised dealer or distributor?
Businesses interested in adding Takumi to their product range are invited to submit a dealer or distributor enquiry. Takumi is looking for partners in professional hairdressing supplies, barbering, and related trade channels. You can find the contact details and enquiry form on this webshop. Applications are reviewed based on market fit and existing distribution coverage.
Are there differences between ordering directly and ordering through a dealer?
The product itself is identical regardless of the channel. Authorised dealers may offer additional local services such as in-person product advice, integration into broader professional packages, or region-specific logistics. Ordering directly through this webshop gives you access to the full current catalogue and allows you to contact the brand directly with any questions.
Where can I browse the full Takumi range before ordering?
The complete current assortment is listed on this webshop, which functions as the official product catalogue for Takumi . You can review specifications and product details here and then choose whether to order directly or to contact an authorised dealer in your region.

Does Takumi Provide Marketing Materials or Product Support for Dealers?
Yes, Takumi provides dealers with a structured package of marketing materials and product support to help them present and sell the brand effectively. Support includes digital assets, product documentation, and direct contact with the Takumi team. The exact scope of support is discussed and agreed upon during the onboarding process for new dealer partnerships.
What marketing materials does Takumi make available to dealers?
Authorised dealers receive access to a set of brand-consistent materials, including high-resolution product images, product descriptions, and brand guidelines. These assets are intended to help dealers build consistent and professional presentations in their own shops, webshops, and catalogues. Materials are provided in formats suitable for both print and digital use.
Does Takumi offer product information and technical documentation?
Yes. Dealers receive detailed product specifications for each model in the Takumi range. This includes information on blade geometry, steel type, handle design, and intended professional use cases. Accurate product information helps dealers advise their customers, whether those are barbers, hairdressers, or other professional end users.
Is there a dedicated contact point for dealer support?
Takumi works directly with its dealer network and assigns contact within the team for dealer-related questions. This means dealers can reach out for assistance with product questions, restocking, or marketing coordination without going through a generic support queue. The goal is to keep communication practical and responsive.
How does Takumi support dealers in positioning the brand?
Takumi is a professional scissors brand built around craft, precision, and daily professional use. The brand story and positioning materials provided to dealers reflect these values consistently. Dealers are supported in communicating quality and brand identity rather than competing on price, which protects margin integrity across the network.
How can a business apply to become a Takumi dealer?
Businesses interested in carrying Takumi in their assortment can submit a dealer or distributor enquiry through the contact page on the TakumiShears webshop. The webshop serves as the primary catalogue and point of contact for the brand. After an initial review, the team will follow up to discuss terms, territory, and support arrangements.
