Qumei Hair styling tool ODM

A development partner for hair styling tools

Helping Japan and global brands develop reliable hair styling tools: straightener brushes, hair irons, dryers and curlers. Risk is controlled before tooling is cut, and products are designed to work rather than only to look good.

What we develop

Hair straightener brushes, hair irons, hair dryers and curlers, developed as ODM projects rather than catalogue resale.

Who we work with

Japan market brands for over ten years, plus global brands who want that level of reliability expectation.

When risk is settled

Before tooling is cut, in roughly thirty days, because a tooling change after mass production starts is the expensive kind.

Who leads it

A co-founder who is a mechanical engineer with deep Japan hair-tool experience, working on engineering and factory management.

Product Range

Four product types, all developed as ODM projects rather than picked from a catalogue.

How an Order Runs

  1. Concept and market

    What the product is, who it is for and what it has to retail at.

  2. Engineering and prototype

    A working prototype rather than a rendering, so heat-up, recovery and hand feel can be judged for real.

  3. Reliability testing

    Run before tooling is cut, because a thermal fault found after the mould is steel is the expensive kind.

  4. Tooling and mass production

    Only once the risks are closed, with engineering and factory management under the same co-founder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a factory or a trading company?

A development partner with engineering and factory management under one co-founder, a mechanical engineer with deep Japan hair-tool experience. Projects are developed as ODM rather than resold from a catalogue.

How long before we know a concept will work?

Roughly thirty days, with the risks controlled before tooling is cut. That window is deliberately placed before the irreversible spend rather than after it.

Can you match a specification we already have?

Yes, and we will also say where the specification will cause a problem in use. Products are designed to work, not just to read well on a box, and flagging that early is part of the job.

Why does Japan experience matter to a non-Japanese brand?

Because Japanese retail treats a returned unit as a supplier defect rather than a statistic. Developing to that expectation produces a habit of testing before tooling, and that habit transfers to any market.
