Sharpening for thinning & texturising shears
A convex edge and a row of cutting teeth are not a kitchen knife, and should never be ground like one. We hand-hone each pair back to its original geometry — the difference between a texturiser that blends clean for another two years and one that's quietly ruined by a bench grinder.
Why a specialist, not a mobile grinder
Most mobile sharpeners are set up for bevelled scissors and clipper blades. Run a hollow-ground convex edge — or a row of fine cutting teeth — across the same wheel and you flatten the ride line, round off the tooth tips, and change how much hair the pair takes per pass. We sharpen each tooth and edge to the form the maker intended, check the ride and tension, and return the shear blending the way it did on day one.
How it works
Tell us about your shears
Send the enquiry below with the brand, model and what you're noticing — folding, pushing, snagging on a blend, or just gone dull.
Post them in
We'll reply with a quote and a postage address. Wrap the blades closed, edge protected, in a rigid box.
Hand-honed, edge-matched
Each pair is sharpened by hand to its original geometry — convex stays convex, each tooth kept to its form — then tension-set and test-cut on hair.
Back on your bench
Returned tracked and insured, with a note on the edge condition and when to send them next.
Pricing depends on tooth count, tooth form and condition — a fine 35-tooth blender takes more care than a coarse chunker — so we quote per pair rather than guess. Send the details and we'll confirm before you post anything.
