Hairstylist shears need sharpening whenever they are dull. Each individual practitioner will handle their personal scissors, hair thinners and trimming instruments differently so that it is hard to schedule all tools in a shop for sharpening at the same time. The type of metals that are used in haircutting blades will also cause variations to occur on group sharpening schedules. For the best sharpening results, each tool should be sharpened as needed and not regulated to a strict date on a maintenance schedule.
Over-sharpening can reduce the lifespan of your barber and hairdresser tools. There is never a reason to sharpen a pair of scissors before these tools become dull; however, some practices can dull cutting blades quickly and these practices should be avoided whenever possible. Cutting dry hair, hair with chemical treatments and hair that wears chemical products can cause steel blades to dull during normal hairstyling procedures.
Whenever wet or dry hair has been treated with chemicals, these chemicals can transfer away from the hair and onto the blades of your cutting tools. There are chemicals found in hair dyes, rinses or sprays and in other types of hair products that can interact with the stainless steels and other types of metals that are found in professional cutting tools. This is why the professional hair cutters can dull at different rates at the same salon location.
Normally, haircutting tools will last for about 700 cuts; however, this number usually varies drastically up or down, depending upon individual cleaning routines and working conditions. After each shift, hairstylists must clean their scissors, hair thinners and trimming instruments to ensure that all debris, loose hairs and chemicals are removed from the cutting surfaces. Then, hair scissors are lubricated with the proper products.
As a general rule-of-thumb, active hairstyling shops will have their scissors, hair thinners and trimming instruments sharpened every few months. Most cutting tool manufacturers sell their gear with directions that explain how often to participate in sharpening routines. Professional barbers, stylists and cosmetology experts always know when their tools are beginning to dull. It is always wise to use a sharpening service instantly for dull blades.
When stylists purchase their high-quality Japanese steel styling scissors, thinners and other cutting tools, it is always wise to purchase these items from a well-known provider like the respected Hattori Hanzo Shears establishment. Quality providers sell their barber and stylist tools with access to sanctioned sharpening providers. Manufacturer sanctioned sharpening services possess the proper tools, equipment and training to provide the best scissors and gear sharpening procedures for each brand of high-quality styling tools.
