Thank you for your help! I’ve always been weary about giving my shears to just anyone to sharpen not really knowing if they’re even doing anything to them or screwing them up even more so this helps. I’m definitely going to start asking for pics and evidence of their work before I pay

Great video! I’m a knife and tool sharpening guy, and I’ve done some basic household scissors, but I’m not about to touch professional hair scissors without a lot more training! Anything you would suggest to get started? I’m in Colorado, definitely not coming to compete with your business! 😄. I was thinking about picking up pro scissors and practicing, but you probably have much better advice!

Thanks for saving me from tackling my beard trimming scissors with my wet stone. Any advice on how I find a reputable "shear sharpener" in my area? Is there something I can do myself to maintain an edge short of taking them in for a "full service"?

I've been sharpening going on 30 years. Fortunately I had training in a factory where they started out with raw materials. And learned the art of free hand sharpening. I own 2 flat hone machines one fixtured the other not. As well as a vertical sharpening machine. I have taken pictures, typically it's a shear that was basically destroyed by another sharpener. I'll sharpen and finish one blade and leave the other un touched until I get my picture.

If your sharpener alters, breaks, destroys, or provides the incorrect edge type (bevel vs convex) they should replace your shear. As in buy you a brand new shear to replace the shear they destroyed.

Thanks for the video. I am looking into learning how to sharpen as a retirement gig. But is seems that many of the sharpener websites or videos I come across, have the attitude that "Everyone but me is a hack and a screw up. I alone know how to sharpen your shears correctly!" Is there really that much bad work out there, or is this all a sales gimmick? It's not like sharpening shears is a rocket science or anything.
@cuttingedgecustomsharpenin1217

Yes. Lots of sharpeners will say "everyone else is a hack, I'm the only one that does it right". I take a different approach. If something came with a specific edge geometry, it should stay that way. If you can see the sharpening, I dont feel it was done properly. As for training, lots of people and companies offer training. However, the training can be limited, and more geared towards having you purchase equipment from them. "In order to do it right, you have to buy my tools". I do train people, and offer it for a reasonable price without the sales pitches or BS. However, there are, if you look, others who are equally of even more qualified than I am who are brilliant trainers who don't provide the "education for a sale" approach.

Austin, It is not rocket science, As with many things anyone can learn this skill. And there is a host of info on the topic online these days. My only advise is study each and every shear you get to sharpen with a strong magnifier, see what is and where is the problems and fix it. But don't treat every shear with a 35 degree bevel as often HACKS will do. remember these are that stylist MAIN tool. you will be fine. BTW hope your project is going well!

It might not be rocket science however there's a heck of a lot more to the business than you'd think. I can take two exact shears, neither have been sharpened before sharpening with the exact same methods. Often there will enough 'personality" that one will have to be tweaked a bit to achieve maximum performance. I've Often said ,bad haircuts grow back, bad sharpening don't

I find it interesting that people talk about a semi convex edge. There is really no such thing as a semi convex edge. Somebody come up with that name and now everybody uses it. There are only three types of grinds: convex, bevel, and concave. The concave grind (or hollow grind) is produced by a round wheel, like a Twice as Sharp. Everything else is either a bevel or a convex. The bevel grind is flat. Now, there are an endless number of radiuses on a convex grind, because it varies according to how the sharpener works his or her wrist as they are convexing the shear. But no matter the radius, it’s still a convex grind. When the factory sharpens a coated shear, they grind in a small bevel. That’s it. It’s a bevel edge. Does this make sense, or am I off base?

Both right and wrong in regards to semi convex shears. They might not have been designed that way but i've repaired numerous pairs of shears that started out as convex edges but a sharpener who either lacks skills or doesn't care, has put them on a machine designed to sharpen a beveled edges and "GROUND" into the convex edge at the cutting point.

Yes, I might have stated it if in a more light hearted way but it does seem to me he is encouraging people to be anal. Your 'Karen' reference is most certainly applicable and relevant. And carrying a bunch of 'reference' pictures... oh for god sakes. This is a bit over the top and I'd bet most busy hairdressers could very well be annoyed by this. If they ask maybe, but near 100% of them just want their scissors sharpened fast & well. Then GTF out of their hair... no pun intended.
