Why Hair Professionals Trust Us With Their Scissors
Why Should Trust Us With Your Scissors
Before choosing a “scissor sharpening near me” service, make sure your hairdressing scissors are in safe hands. Poor sharpening—especially by cheap mobile grinders—can ruin your convex edges and force you to replace your scissors far sooner than you should.
Many sharpeners use grinding machines that destroy delicate convex edges in seconds, turning premium hairdressing scissors into bevelled, dog-grooming–grade blades.
✂️ Specialist Scissor Sharpening
We provide specialist hairdressing and barber scissor sharpening, including thinners and left-handed scissors. Every service includes repairs, rebalancing, realignment, polishing and correct tension setting. Our technicians are trained in authentic Japanese convex sharpening techniques.
🏆 True Convex-Edge Sharpening
We are one of the few UK companies offering true convex-edge sharpening. If your scissors arrive with convex edges, we ensure they stay convex—exactly as the manufacturer intended.
⚙️ Premium Manufacturer Equipment
We use the same equipment trusted by premium scissor manufacturers such as the Hikari Factory, allowing us to restore razor-sharp edges and ensure smooth and precise cutting performance.
🔧 Full Disassembly & Precision Sharpening
Every pair of scissors are fully disassembled, sharpened along the entire blade, and carefully checked at the centre screw assembly. We use water-cooled machines to prevent overheating, and sharpen each blade to its correct factory angle (e.g. Joewell vs. Kamisori).
👐 Hand-Finished to a Mirror Polish
Scissors are finished by hand using wet and dry papers, Japanese whetstones and polishing leather—creating a true mirror finish with minimal metal removal, extending the life of scissors.
⭐ Uncompromising Quality
Our commitment to quality is absolute. We take the necessary time and expertise to ensure your scissors leave us razor sharp, smooth, and performing at their very best.

About Us
Our 5-star reviews on Facebook, Google and our website show why we’re trusted by hairdressers and barbers nationwide for professional scissor sharpening.
We’re highly recommended across multiple hairdressing forums, which led to many major hairdressing supply stores choosing to stock our information.
With over 22 years of specialist experience, our training comes from an extensive apprenticeship in Australia under a master scissor maker—one of the only Westerners ever trained inside the Hikari Factory in Japan.
Our Sharpening
If a poor sharpener has turned your convex blades into slight bevels, we can often restore the original convex edge.
If the bevel is too heavy, full restoration isn’t possible—but we can still greatly improve performance and ensure your scissors cut smoothly before returning them.
We can also fix most dropped scissors, including those with small nicks.
However, blades cannot be reshaped, as altering the steel structure risks the blade snapping.
Beware
Don’t rely on a quick Google search for “scissor sharpening near me.”
The wrong sharpener can permanently damage your hairdressing scissors.
Signs of bad sharpening include:
-
Scissors not being taken apart or serviced correctly
-
Uneven edges, overheating, and ruined convex edges
-
Too much steel removed or sharpened at the wrong angle
-
Incorrect tensioning and rushed workmanship
Your premium scissors deserve more than a “time is money” approach.
