I have no canon to back me, but I would be VERY surprised if Ollivander were
out there killing unicorns to obtain a unicorn hair. Talk about a wand for a
evil wizard ... containing the hair of a unicorn that was killed for a
strand of unicorn hair.

More likely, I would propose, is that Ollivander visits magical forests
during the time of year when unicorns shed a bit and picks up these stray
hairs.
