Shear Sharpening Process

Having your shears sharpened correctly by a certified sharpener is just as important as finding the correct shear for you.    The process at which a good quality shear was developed and produced to properly cut your clients hair has become a artistic tool in your hand.   Your shear needs to be sharpened correctly insuring the proper convex for a convex shear , balance (set) , geometry , proper contact at the point , bevel for a beveled shears and the many factors that go into a thinner/ texturizing shears are all still as the manufacture intended.  This process will insure your shear will point cut or slide cut or work as a dry cut shear.   

  • All sharpeners are certified through the National Beauty Tool Sharpening Guild (NBTSG)
  • Every shear is evaluated before being taken apart and sanitized.
  • We only use diamond water stones and a flat hone with a torsional handle to sharpen.
  • Shears are polished and tested insuring it functions as intended.
