IS YOUR SHARPENER RUINING YOUR SHEARS?

If you have a camera phone on hand simply snap a photo of your shears before and after sharpening and the answer is painfully obvious.

YOU CAN BORROW, BUT NEVER LOAN!

Never loan or share your scissors. No two stylists cut alike and every stylist pressures their shears differently.

CRIME PAYS!

Grand Larceny defined by law is when someone steals money or property valued over $500. The same can be said if someone destroys another’s Property in this case a scissor or scissors valued over $500. Everyday unqualified and improperly trained sharpeners ruin at least one or more scissors in every salon they service. Everyday literally THOUSANDS of dollars in scissors’ are being destroyed by salon sharpeners and mail order vendors. The sad irony is that they are being paid by the very stylist whose scissors they are ruining.

Shear Integrity does not wish to Malign Honest and Reputable Sharpeners. Shear Integrity also does not wish to perpetuate or be part of the problem.

Buyer Beware Update!

For years Shear Integrity has been trying to warn our customers in the Tri-State area about Chinese knock offs. We have been telling anyone who would listen that these shears were bought in bulk for as little as $20 and being sold to unsuspecting stylist for as high as $350+. Shear Integrity stands corrected. These SAME shears are actually bought for $5-$10 and are now being dumped in the salons for $20-$30. We don’t know if it’s because Shear Integrity finally got the word out or because of the ongoing RECESSION. Most of these scissors are Factory Seconds or Used and Refurbished and re-sold to unsuspecting stylist. Before you hand over your hard earn money to a shady sales rep simply compare several scissors for the best edge before making a purchase.


Shear Integrity does not wish to malign Honest and Reputable scissor dealers and manufacturers nor does Shear Integrity wish to perpetuate or be part of the problem.

Shear Integrity only sells Brand Recognized products and encourages all our customers to Google for the most competitive rates before purchasing.

STOP OVER PAYING!

The next time a vendor visits your salon selling GENERIC scissors from CHINA or with NO COUNTRY OF ORIGIN remember they were probably bought in bulk for less than $20!!!
SHEAR INTEGRITY does not wish to malign honest and reputable sharpening services and scissor manufacturers. Neither does SHEAR INTEGRITY believe that everyone should cut with $500+ shears made only in Japan.
 SHEAR INTEGRITY also does not believe that their customers should pay $25-50 to sharpen or repair a $5 cast-metal blank. (Ironically it is simpler to sharpen an authentic Japanese shear, because the alloys in the Japanese shear make it more responsive and the results more predictable than the weaker, inferior steels used in the copies and knockoffs.)
