FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Qumei manufacture?

Hair styling tools: hair styling brushes, hair irons, hair dryers and hair curlers, developed as ODM for brands.

How does an ODM project start?

You bring a reference model, the target market (professional or household) and your idea or modification. We come back on whether it is manufacturable, what shape or structure is needed, and the unit price and tooling cost range.

What are L1, L2 and L3?

Three levels of partnership. L1 Quick Custom customises a proven base model. L2 Co-Develop develops together from concept to mass production. L3 Brand Exclusive develops exclusively for one brand with brand-owned tooling.

How long does development take?

Concept takes 3–7 days to a client decision point, prototyping around 30 days, mold tooling around 60 days to reliability verification, then pilot run and mass production of 30–45 days.

Which markets do you have experience with?

10+ years serving Japan market brands, plus global brands. Market and standard checks such as PSE and METI are part of the concept phase.

Are all your products shown on this website?

No. Due to strict confidentiality agreements with international partners, many custom-developed hair tools are not shown online.
