Service and repair
Sharpening is edge restoration, not just grinding.
Professional scissors work as a matched blade system. Good service considers the edge profile, inside surfaces, alignment, pivot, tension and final cutting action together.
Signs that need attention
Hair pushing away, folding or snagging; a gritty or uneven close; visible nicks; tips that no longer meet; a sudden change after a drop; or tension that will not remain stable all warrant an inspection.
When to stop using the scissors
Stop if the edge is chipped, the blades cross abnormally, the bumper or pivot is damaged, or the pair has been dropped and no longer closes normally. Continuing can increase damage.
Use condition, not a fixed calendar
Sharpening intervals vary with workload, steel, edge, technique, tension and care. A rigid annual schedule can be too early for one stylist and too late for another. Service when cutting performance changes or inspection finds damage.

Questions to ask a sharpener
- Do you routinely service professional hairdressing scissors and this edge type?
- Will the original convex or bevel geometry be preserved rather than changed?
- Are alignment, pivot, tension and the final cut checked after sharpening?
- Will you contact me before removing significant material or completing a repair outside the quoted work?
