HAVE A CERTIFIED ROCKET SCIENTIST
RECONDITION -YOUR- SHEARS TO FACTORY SHARP
FEELS SHARP, BUT STILL BENDING HAIR?
JUST CALL US FOR A FREE INSPECTION & TUNEUP!
Our Shear Sharpener is a highly regarded craftsman, beloved by his loyal stylists across most of Seattle & Austin. He’s the guy called upon to fix all the shears that have been ruined up by improper sharpening - and there is virtually no defect he cannot repair.
This work is not a quick, cheapie sharpening. Shears receive a full take-apart & reconditioning, followed by a Japanese factory-style sharpening on a flat hone, including all ride-lines reworked by hand work on water stones. Then a full polish & restoration, reassembly, adjustment, and test cuts on real hair.
Our expert is a trained blacksmith who spent decades honing his knife-sharpening skills under the Japanese Method…before he even touched a salon scissor. He is a proud student of Portland’s top Salon & Surgical sharpener, Debra Finck, who had over 30 years in the biz and serviced all the hippest, most-cutting edge salons in the Pacific Northwest.
We also work closely with a few trusted shear experts in other locations, such as Oregon and Alberta, Canada.
“Roger is the best there is. After years of sloppy work from sharpeners that didn’t have his skill level, Roger fixed my shears. I haven’t needed them sharpened since! I trust him with my favorite Sam Villa shears. He even fixed my 40-year-old German-made thinners that had become unusable due to rust buildup. He is a true professional.”
