🔥 LOOK CLOSELY AT THIS EDGE… ✂️

This is Nick’s latest service work, showcasing the Ride Line edge combined with the new convex edge.

So what makes this combination interesting?

It’s about how both edges work together to create a smoother, more precise cut through the hair.

The right edge isn’t just about making a scissor sharp.

It’s about creating the right cutting action, the right feel and the right transition through the hair.

Two edges working together.
One seriously smooth cutting experience. ✂️🔥

This is the detail and precision that goes into every scissor Nick services.

Because sharp is only the beginning.

✂️ Have your scissors lost their smooth feel?
✂️ Not cutting the way they used to?
✂️ Due for some serious TLC?

📲 DM us a photo of your scissors or tell us what’s happening with them. We’ll have a chat with you about what they might need.

Whether they need a sharpen, service, repair or something more — let Nick take a look.

Your scissors work hard for you. Make sure they’re working properly for you.

A NEW JOURNEY HAS BEGUN... AKAKO CHIZI OFFICIAL 🇦🇺🇲🇾✂️

Some business partnerships start with a business deal.
Ours started with respect, trust and a shared passion for our industry.

In case you missed this.....we're incredibly excited to announce that here at Coastal Scissor Services we are now the official Australian distributor for Akako ChiziOfficial.

Behind this brand is Winz Lum, whose years of experience in the hair industry have shaped Akako Chizi into something much bigger than just another scissor brand.

Winz is building a brand around two things we strongly believe in:

QUALITY TOOLS.
QUALITY EDUCATION.

And that's what really drew us to Akako Chizi.

When we first met Winz, we quickly realised how like-minded we were.
Our conversations weren't just about scissors.
They were about the industry.
Education.
Craftsmanship.
People.
And doing things the right way.

What started as a chance meeting has grown into a relationship built on respect, trust and genuine friendship.
We feel incredibly blessed that our paths crossed and that we now get to help bring Winz’s vision and Akako Chizi to Australia. 🇦🇺 ✂️

This is more than launching another brand.
It's the beginning of a journey we're incredibly excited to share with you.

Welcome to Australia, Akako Chi Official!
The journey starts now.
Follow along - there's plenty more to come.👀

🚨THE SHARPENATOR IS READY!⚡️✂️
The machine is fired up and Nick is ready to give your tools some serious TLC this week.

Because let's be honest...

Your scissors work hard for you every single day.
So when they start feeling a little off, pulling, pushing, folding hair, coming loose or simply not performing like they should - don't ignore it.

They might not need replacing.
They might just need the right attention.👀

Nick specialises in hairdressing and barbering scissors and knows these tools inside and out - from years behind the chair to years working with scissors.

Sharp is important. But getting your scissors RIGHT is everything.
✂️Need a service?
✂️Need a repair?
✂️Not sure what's wrong?

The Sharpenator has you covered.
📲PM us if your scissors are telling you they need some TLC.

Does your scissor sharpener actually understand YOUR scissors?👀✂️

Ask yourself…
“Does your sharpener specialise ONLY in hairdressing and barbering scissors?”
“Are they genuinely passionate about all things scissors?”
“Can they actually speak your language?”

Because there’s a big difference between sharpening scissors…and understanding how they’re supposed to work.

We’ve both spent decades behind the chair.

Here at CSS we know what it’s like when your scissors don’t feel right.
When they pull, push, fold hair or just don’t perform the way they should.

That experience matters.
Because we’re not just looking at the edge.
We’re looking at the whole scissor — and how it works for YOU.

✂️WE SPEAK SCISSOR.
✂️WE SPEAK HAIRDRESSER.
✂️WE SPEAK BARBER.

Ask yourself — “does your sharpener tick all three boxes?”
Save this. Your scissors deserve more than just a sharp edge.

🚨THAT LITTLE CLICKER PLATE MATTERS!✂️

Did you know that a missing clicker plate can cause ongoing issues with your scissors?

Your scissors might be beautifully sharp, but if the clicker plate hasn't been replaced after servicing, you may find:
✂️Your tension keeps changing
✂️Your scissors constantly come loose
✂️You're forever adjusting the tension screw
✂️ The scissors don't feel right in your hand
✂️Their performance can become inconsistent

It's a small part - but it plays an important role in how your scissors hold their tension.
Sharp doesn't always mean correctly serviced.

At Coastal Scissor Services, we look beyond the edge. We check the components, assembly and overall performance of your scissors to make sure everything is where it should be.

Because sometimes, it's the smallest part causing the biggest headache.

📲PM us if your scissors are constantly coming loose or needing adjustment.
Let's take a look.👀
Save this post - you might need it the next time your scissors start playing up!

What started as a phone call... turned into an EPIC Sunday scissor session!!

Meet Jack from Bastock Barbering — a seriously talented barber who made the trek from Townsville to spend the afternoon with us.

And what a pleasure it was.

There's something pretty special about spending time with someone who is just as passionate about their tools, their craft and getting the best out of every haircut.

We talked scissors, sharpening, technique, tools and everything in between.
Because adding the right tools to your kit isn't about having more for the sake of it.
It's about having the right tools to give you more options, more control and more ways to create the haircut you see in your head.

Congratulations Jack on your new scissors!🔥✂️
We're looking forward to seeing you put them through their paces and watching what you create with them.
Thanks for making the trek from Townsville and spending your Sunday with us, Jack.🙌
Your passion for barbering, your tools and your craft definitely shows.
