    I've had my hair cutting shears for the last 25 years (they were cheep, only around $15). I'm not a pro, but I went to beauty school back then, and have used my scissors on customers in school, and then for cutting my family members hair since then. I've always made sure that they've only cut hair, and they've stayed pretty sharp. I saw on another video however that you can test the sharpness of your scissors by trying to cut a wet tissue. My scissors failed at the tips. I only tried sharpening them on paper as he suggested, and remarkably, it actually helped a little.

    While I've never sharpened "Hair Shears" per se, I've sharpened virtually everything else imaginable, so I'm not totally ignorant to the process. I have many of those stones he shows. My concern in watching this is not once does he mention or demonstrate the proper angle of the cutting edge to the stone. This was not good advice.

      W. Scott Wheeler he doesn't understand the shears he holds are convex, and he's probably rolling over the edge.

      You got this spot on. The angle of sharpening on a beauty shear is absolutely critical and rarely ever freehanded, even by pros or the manufacturer. With the "light pressure" this young man is recommending on said stones he's essentially doing a rough honing rather than any kind of sharpening. If by chance he does manage to remove any material he's most likely warping the bevel or convex and or damaging the ride line. You are correct. This was not good advice.

      i agree but a lot of stylists have to do it themselves as they don't have anyone near that they trust with their scissors ..some do know what they are doing others dont

  • @runtochrist1975
    @runtochrist1975 5 років тому +6

    Haircutting tools need water and oil sharpening with a very fine grade paper. Truly, you want to invest in good Japanese direct for having a diamond edge and this only needs daily cleaning and leather straps are the best way to keep the edge sharpened. Using fine grade paper should only be required for a very rare occasion and only once. It is time to get a new pair after this.

    Remember keep em at an angle not flat or straight bc you will ruin the shears.

      yes

    • @silverkitty2503
      @silverkitty2503 Рік тому

      it depends on big they are ...usually yes ... but you can only sharpen a blade so much until its not really going to feel the same in your hand usually this takes years but if the dent is from a fall it could mean sharpening is useless but 90% of the time yes

    What in the world prompts people that don't know what they're doing to making terrible tutorials and 'how to' videos?
    don't they realize someone is going to recognize what they're using, or at least one of the billions of people in the industry that know how to sharpen shears?
    holy mackerel this is bad.
