Scissor Maintenance

Cleaning and maintaining your scissors should be performed every day. Maintenance includes Disinfecting, Cleaning, lubricating, Tension setting and Sharpening (Regular servicing will prolong the life of scissors)

Hair cutting scissors are the tools of your trade. 

• Spray Isopropyl alcohol on the inner and outer of both blades.
• Wipe with a chamois opposite direction of the cutting edge, so you don’t cut yourself.
   Chamois we sell is made from high quality suede & does a great job removing build-up around the cutting edge.
• Lubricate scissors with professional scissor oil (NOT clipper oil).
• Daily oiling of scissors lubricates the internal parts. (DO NOT OVER OIL) Will cut smoother and enhance the performance and extend the cutting life of your scissors.
• Test for correct tension daily: Loose tension will bend and fold hair. Too tight will damage and wear to the cutting edge and cause repetitive strain on your wrist & thumb.
• When scissors are dropped, store them in a scissor case or holster and use a spare to complete the haircut.
• Keep scissors closed and stored in a holster or scissor case when not in use.
