How Often Should You Sharpen Your Shears?

Image
Whether you're a seasoned stylist or a fresh-on-the-floor barber, your shears are one of the most important tools in your hands. But even the best shears won’t perform their best if they aren’t regularly maintained. One of the most common questions we hear is: “How often should I get my shears sharpened?” The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all—but there are some general guidelines to keep your blades in peak condition and protect your investment. The Short Answer: Every 3 to 6 Months Most professionals find that sharpening their shears every 500–700 haircuts , or about 2–4 times a year , is a good baseline. If you’re a high-volume stylist working full-time, you’ll likely fall closer to the 3-month mark. If you’re part-time or in a specialty role (like dry cutting or barbering), you might stretch to 6 months. Factors That Affect How Often You Need Sharpening 1.

Common Mistakes That Can Shorten the Life of Your Blades

As a stylist or barber, your shears are your most valuable tool. Keeping them in top condition ensures precision, efficiency, and comfort. However, many professionals unknowingly make mistakes that can prematurely wear down their blades. Here are some common missteps to avoid so your shears stay sharper for longer. 1. Cutting the Wrong Materials Your shears are designed specifically for cutting hair—nothing else. Using them to cut foil, plastic, paper, or even combs can quickly dull the blades and cause nicks that impact performance. Keep a separate pair of utility scissors for non-hair cutting tasks. 2. Improper Cleaning and Maintenance Hair, moisture, and product buildup can corrode metal and cause shears to lose their edge. To prevent this: Wipe your shears clean after every use. Use a soft cloth with a small amount of shear oil to prevent rust and buildup. Deep clean them regularly, especially around the pivot point. 3. Dropping Your Shears Accidents happen, but dropping your shear...

How to Test Shear Sharpness with a Tissue

  If you’re a stylist or barber, you already know that dull shears don’t just slow you down—they can actually damage hair, leaving it frayed and unhealthy-looking. But how do you quickly check if your shears are still as sharp as they should be? One of the simplest and surprisingly effective methods is the tissue test. Here’s how to do it safely and what it tells you about your shears. What You’ll Need A single-ply facial tissue (like the kind from a regular tissue box) Your shears, freshly cleaned and dry Tip: Avoid thicker or multi-ply tissues—they’re too forgiving and might hide minor nicks or dull spots. Step-by-Step: The Tissue Test Hold the tissue : Fold it once or twice so it’s still thin, then pinch it gently between your thumb and finger, letting it hang freely. Point-cut the tissue : Using just the tips of your shears, make small cuts into the tissue as if you’re doing precision point cutting. Observe the cut : If the shears glide through easily and le...
