Hair & barber scissor sharpening
Barbering scissors live on precision. We re-grind the edge to its original profile, polish, set the blade alignment and tension, and test on hair so they're ready for the chair.
What happens on the bench.
Five steps, every time. No shortcuts on a busy day.
- 01
Check-in
Logged, photographed and checked for alignment, nicks and pivot wear.
- 02
Re-grind the edge
Edge restored to its original bevel or semi-convex profile on a dedicated scissor machine.
- 03
Hone and polish
Fine honing removes the micro-burr. Inner faces polished so the blades glide.
- 04
Align and set
Blade ride line and tension set for a smooth, quiet close.
- 05
Test on hair
Wet and dry hair tests, oiled and returned in a protective wrap.
Your edge is telling you.
- Hair pushes forward instead of being cut
- Slide-cutting starts to snag
- Blades feel gritty on the close
- You've dropped them (it happens)
