Enjoy your hairdressing scissors for longer
Sharpening hairdressing scissors is a craft in its own right. Because hairdressing scissors are incomparable with household scissors, their maintenance and sharpening also require a different approach. Hairdressing scissors must cut well and smoothly for the best result.
In addition, sharp scissors prevent injuries to the hairdresser's hand and arm. So have your scissors sharpened regularly for an efficient and comfortable haircut and a longer lifespan for your valuable tool.
Your scissors are unique
Several techniques are used when sharpening hairdressing scissors, depending on the type of scissors. As you know, there are various types of scissors, such as thinning scissors, texturizing scissors, cutting scissors, and Japanese scissors with different cutting blades.
On most scissors, the inner blades are hollow-ground, or serrated. In addition, a pair of scissors with a flat (possibly micro-serrated) or convex cutting blade and a straight or curved blade line requires a different sharpening method. The material and thickness of the scissors are also important here. Our professional sharpener Billy Blom knows exactly which approach is applicable to your scissors.
