Why Barber Shears Require Specialized Sharpening
Barber shears see heavy use and demand clean, predictable cutting—especially for scissor-over-comb and detail work.
- Improper sharpening causes pushing and folding hair
- Incorrect tension affects control during fades
- Poor alignment ruins clean lines
Our process focuses on restoring performance—not just creating a sharp edge.
Our Barber Sharpening Process
- Edge restoration matched to barber shear geometry
- Blade alignment and ride-line correction
- Proper tension setup for smooth, controlled action
- Test cutting before return
This ensures your shears perform correctly for real barbering—not just test paper.
