IS YOUR SHARPENER RUINING YOUR SCISSORS?

All one has to do is look around their own salon. Simply inspect your edges by comparing them to a new scissor and the answer is painfully obvious. Before you trustingly handover your expensive shears to the next sharpener find out what insurance they offer if you’re not satisfied with the quality of their work. Be sure to ask for a detailed receipt. Salon sharpening is a lot like playing Russian Roulette. Always trust your first instinct. If you don’t feel comfortable handing over your costly shears, take a pass. Once any metal is removed it cannot be replaced! $200+ shears are not disposable and should not be discarded after only a few sharpenings!
Shear Integrity does not wish to malign honest and reputable sharpening services neither does Shear Integrity wish to perpetuate or be part of the problem. Someone must go on record to raise the bar and industry standard.
