Regular servicing extends the life of your scissors, keeps them a joy to use and enables you to be creative and inspired by your work. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are reducing your carbon footprint.

How often should hairdressing scissors be sharpened?

It is recommended that if you cut between six and eight clients with wet hair a day using Japanese steel / convex edged scissors, they should be serviced every six months. If you do the same numbers but cut dry hair, you should service every four months. Leaf recommend servicing 6 monthly or as soon as damage occurs.

How do I tell if they need sharpening/Servicing?

If you notice any of the following then it's worth getting in touch:

  •     Pulling hair
  •     Not slicing or cutting
  •     Will not balance
  •     Folding hair at the tips
  •     Tired aching hands

First check the tension of the scissors, to ensure this is correct.

The Test:

  1.     Take a single sheet of toilet tissue
  2.     Separate the two halves
  3.     Take one of the halves and wet it
  4.     Hold it in one hand and try to cut it

Sharp scissors cut and slice. Blunt scissors tear or fold the tissue. Sharpening and servicing is now due to prolong the life of your scissor. It is not a good idea to cut paper with your scissors because it blunts them, but if you are testing because you are worried about sharpness it is probably time for a service anyway.

Can you tell me more about the sharpening/Servicing process?

The Scissors are dismantled, cleaned, inspected & tested for defects and damage. Then sharpened and hand honed using a combination of modern and traditional methods. The best equipment, professional abrasives and polishing compounds are used throughout this process. Blades are then reset, and any parts replaced if needed. They are reassembled oiled balanced and tested again for perfect function before dispatch back to you.

How do you keep your scissors sharp?

It is inevitable that your scissors will become blunt with regular use. However, there are ways to ensure longevity between sharpening services, and further prolong the life of your hair cutting scissors:

  • Keep your scissors clean. This means wiping the scissors down with a cloth between every cut, and deep cleaning regularly.
  • Store your scissors, preferably in a protective case, with the blades closed to prevent scratches.
  • Lubricate your scissors with oil daily on the pivots. This prevents hair or dirt getting caught in the screw.
