These ​​tips will help you get the best out of your scissor, lengthen its cutting life span and save you money.

 

• If your scissor is folding/bending hair, the problem is usually tension. You need to check and adjust the tension regularly. Holding the bottom finger ring, open the scissor and let the top blade fall, if it closes completely the tension is far too loose. Tighten the centre screw by turning it clockwise 1mm at a time until the blades only fall to about half way.

​

• Carefully wipe your scissors clean after each use and oil lightly at the end of each day. Camellia oil is brilliant but you can also get away with using baby oil.

​

• Your scissors should stay in their case when not in use. Never place your scissors on damp towels, near comb sterilizers or in trolley trays, the disinfectant and chemicals from colour will corrode/rust your blades

​

• To avoid damaging the delicate blade edges, always completely close your scissor before placing on the bench. For the same reason, while cutting; never wear rings on the first two fingers of the hand that takes sections

​

• If your scissors are dropped or damaged during use, check if the cutting action has changed or if there is a dent in the edge. It may require immediate servicing.

​

• If there is a bad dent in the edge and you can't close the blades, carefully and gently push the blades apart sideways at the same time as slowly closing the blades. This will stop the dent from worsening and prevent scratching the hollow grind.
