Sydney Scissor Sharpening

ANNOUNCEMENT / WARNING

Unfortunately there is a scissor sharpener going around Sydney selling his services for $10.
To become a good sharpener you need years of practice, training that costs tens of thousands of dollars, and equipment that also costs thousands. When someone offers you sharpening for $10 this should alert your 'Too good to be true' spidey senses'

This man is severely damaging stylists and barbers scissors. Taking years off the life of them. And, it's taking me a lot of work to get them right again.

You spent a lot of money when you purchased your scissors. Trying to save a buck on sharpening is just shooting yourself in the foot.

Please avoid this man. And, If you do want correct sharpening that will leave your scissors feeling better than brand new then don't hesitate to get in contact. 0422 228 123.

✂️ Hairdressers & Barbers of Sydney – Is it time to sharpen your scissors? ✂️
Your scissors talk to you… if you know what signs to look for.
If your scissors are:
• Pushing or bending hair instead of cutting cleanly
• Folding hair over before cutting
• Feeling rough or dragging through the hair
• Losing that smooth, effortless cutting feel
• Causing extra hand fatigue from working harder than usual
• Not sliding properly when point cutting or texturising
…it’s probably time for a professional sharpen.
Many stylists put up with scissors that slowly lose performance because it happens gradually. You get used to compensating without even realising it. Sharp, properly balanced scissors should feel smooth, precise and effortless — making your work easier and helping your scissors last longer.
As a professional scissor sharpener, I help Sydney hairdressers and barbers keep their tools performing at their best, so you can focus on delivering quality cuts for your clients.
Your scissors are an investment — look after them and they’ll look after you.
Send me a message if your scissors aren't feeling quite right. ✂️

I'm off on a break. Get in touch to book in a sharpening after 2nd June.

Do your scissors feel as good as they should?

🔪✂️ PSA TO ALL BARBERS & HAIRSTYLISTS: Stop Storing Your Shears Like This! ✂️🔪
Hey friends — I see this setup in shops almost every day, and I need to say something: That tool caddy? It's slowly destroying your scissors.
I sharpen scissors for a living, and I can tell when someone's been tossing their scissors into a caddy or drawer with combs, clips, and brushes. Here's what's happening while you're not looking:
❌ Blade-on-blade contact — Every time you drop your scissors in, they're clanking against metal combs, clips, and your other scissors. Those micro-chips and nicks add up FAST.
❌ No protection — Your edges are exposed to everything in that caddy. That soft foam insert? It traps moisture, hair product residue, and bacteria right against your metal.
❌ Constant vibration & movement — Throughout the day, every bump of the station grinds your blades together. You're essentially dulling them on the job.
❌ The "quick grab" temptation — Reaching in blind? You're likely scraping your edges across hard plastic or metal just to pull them out.
The result? Scissors that should stay sharp for 3–6 months are coming back to me in 4–6 weeks. That's hundreds of dollars in unnecessary sharpening, shortened scissor life, and worse — tuggy, uneven cuts on your clients.
✅ What to do instead:

Use a scissor holster or pouch — Leather or nylon, individual slots, keep them separated.

A dedicated scissor case or roll — Protects edges and keeps moisture out.

Magnetic strip or individual hook — If you must display them, keep them apart and secure.

Wipe down & oil before storing — Every. Single. Day.
Your scissors are your most important tool. Treat them like the investment they are, not like a comb you can toss in a bucket.
