What We Sharpen
- Convex/hamaguri professional shears (stylist & barber)
- Thinning/Texturizing shears (14–40 tooth, chunkers, notching)
- Left-hand and swivel-thumb models
- Most micro-serrated barber shears (we preserve serration where designed)
- Curved and specialty profiles (case-by-case)
Our Comprehensive Process
- Intake & Inspection – Check edge type, ride line integrity, set, tips, pivot, washers, bumpers, and finger rest.
- Disassembly & Disinfection – Hygienic teardown of both blades; sanitize components.
- Worn Parts Replacement – Replace washers, bumpers, and other wear items as needed to restore performance.
- Edge Restoration (Factory-Matched) – Minimal material removal; restore the original convex profile or micro-serration spec.
- Inside Work (“Seal”) – Re-establish a straight, continuous ride line and inside hollow for proper blade “seal.”
- Set, Balance & Tension – Correct blade set/radius, align tips, and dial in true working tension.
- Reassembly & Lubrication – Proper torque on the pivot; professional scissor oil at the joint.
- Performance Testing – Wet and dry test media to confirm silent glide, no push/fold, and clean snip to the tips.
Turnaround & Guarantee
2–3 day turnaround from the day your shears arrive. Every service is backed by our Satisfaction Guarantee—if your shears aren’t cutting perfectly, contact us and we’ll make it right.
Shipping Instructions (Mail-In)
- Prep Your Shears – Engage the blade guard if you have one. If not, wrap tips with cardboard and tape; then wrap the entire shear in bubble wrap.
- Include Your Details – Name, order number, return address, email/phone, brand/model, and any issues (nicks, pull, push, tension concerns).

I Trust No One Else!
I've tried multiple scissor professionals over the 15 years I've been doing hair. Ever since Scott touched my shears 4 years ago, I trust no one else! I can guarantee that my shears will always be perfection after Scott works on them! Not to mention, always fair pricing! If you're looking for quality work, Scott is your guy!

My 1 and Only
Scott is hands down the best there is. I have tried a multitude of others and no one else will ever touch my shears again but him. Whenever anyone asks me for a sharpener recommendation, it’s Scott 100% every time.

Great
Scott does an amazing job. I'm very happy that I met him. It's so nice to have someone trustworthy and knowledgeable with shears! Thanks, Scott

Amazing work!!
This was the first time I had brought my shears to Scott. He was able to sharpen all 3 of my shears in 20 minutes and was very friendly to work with. I will definitely be coming back every year to have them sharpened. Thanks again!

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!
AS ALWAYS... ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! Scott came into my salon today and sharpened one of my shears that I bought from him a while back, they now cut absolutely beautifully! Better then new! He also repaired my texturizing shears! They now work beautifully as well! In my 10 years as a licensed professional he is bar far the best at what he does! Thank you again Scott!!! Couldn’t do my job efficiently without your services! ?

I would recommend ?
Scott is always great with sharpening our shears. He is always prompt and does a great job. He is very knowledgeable as well and will let you know exactly what needs to be done, whether it's an adjustment ,sharpening, fitting etc. I have been in the industry 14 years and he's taught me things that I've never heard in all these years. I would definitely recommend!

Simply the best
Scott is simply the best at what he does and I’ve used a lot of different sharpening services in my 25 years in the industry. His knowledge is incredible, he’s polite, professional and prompt. I only wish I had found him sooner because I’ll never trust another person with my shears from now on. When he comes to my salon everyone has their shears sharpened and/or purchases shears from him because he’s just that good, several times spending several hours at the shop answering any questions and leaving all of us feeling like truly valued customers. I can’t recommend Scott enough and look forward to doing business with him for many years to come.
