5 Things You're Doing That Are Dulling Your Shears

  You invested in quality shears for a reason—precision, comfort, and a flawless finish. But even the best shears won’t last if you’re unknowingly doing things that dull them faster than they should. As a professional sharpener, I’ve seen it all—and some of the biggest culprits might surprise you. Here are five common habits that could be killing your edge: 1. Using Your Shears on Dirty Hair It might seem harmless, but cutting hair with product buildup, hairspray, or even just natural oils and grit can wear down your blades over time.

Preparing Your Shears for High-Volume Holiday Bookings

The holiday season is coming — and for stylists and barbers, that means long days, packed schedules, and nonstop cuts and colors. Clients want to look their best for family photos, parties, and events, so your tools need to be just as ready as you are.

Don’t wait until you’re booked solid It’s easy to put off maintenance when you’re busy — but a quick check-in now can save you from frustration (and lost time) later. DRWS makes it simple: Thad stops by on his scheduled routes to collect y...
