Hair Cutting Shears Sharpening
Hair cutting shears are to barbers what hammers are to builders: They’re the essential tool needed to succeed and excel as a professional hairdresser.
Care & Accuracy
Because hair cutting shears see so much action, they tend to dull rather quickly, making it much more difficult to make swift and precise cuts over time. That said, sharpening expensive shears requires the utmost care and accuracy, calling for an expert who understands sharpening nuances. Your shears can only be sharpened a limited number of times before you’ll need to replace them, which means you’ll want a set of trained hands to perform your sharpening services. That way, you’ll guarantee to get the maximum amount of use out of each pair before purchasing the next one.
Sharpness Test
- Take a tissue and wet it in your sink.
- Hold the tissue so the wet edge is facing down.
- Take your scissors and cut into the wet tissue.
- Once you’ve completed the cut, gently pull the scissor down.
- If your scissors pull some of the tissue down with it, that’s a sign they need to be sharpened.
- If your scissors come away cleanly, that shows that they’re making full cuts.
Refine Your Edge
This test can be completed in less than five minutes and will give you a better idea of your sharpening needs. Remember, with blades as subtle and delicate as these, even cutting paper can potentially damage the edges, so proceed with caution.
