How to take care of hair scissors and a simple method of self adjustment.
As a hair stylist one of your fundamental tool is hair scissors not only this tool give you ability to give your customers great hair cut but that give your clients nothing but the best kind of service and treatment. Well, it does not end with buying a pair of nice hair scissors. You also have to learn how to keep them sharp and functional to give your valued customer great service.
Here are some tips which will help you to keep your shears sharp and would last a long time.
1-The first thing to remember is treat your shears gently, the most valuable scissors are in fact more delicate and need extra attention because they have the finest edges.
2- When scissors are new or recently serviced, don’t go chomping away at heavy sections, at least give them two weeks of light work to run the edges in. Scissors with a fresh edge are easier to damage than run in scissors, don’t pressure the scissors - it could catch or even break an edge.
3- When your scissors are new or recently serviced, take things a little slower and watch what you are doing - most hairdressers will cut themselves with new scissors because they are not used to them.
4- When you are cutting scissor over comb, cut half a centimeter away from the comb so as not to damage the scissors by accidentally cutting into the comb if you need to cut closer because your scissors are pushing hair, they either need adjustment or they could be blunt!.
5 Keep your scissors in a place where they won’t get damaged for example in pouch or case. Do not put them in trolley trays where they can be chipped easily by brushes and bits and pieces.
Keep your scissors away from sterilizing solution and damp towels in front of sterilizing jars, if you are doing this, you will find your scissors blunt, spotty and corroded.
6- Scissors are not meant to be used dry without oil. Oil them every day with good quality scissor oil. This will make them cut better, stop them corroding and they will last longer.
7- Your scissors should be cleaned at the end of the day and left cleaned and oiled overnight. Rinse your scissors with warm water at your basin and carefully wipe them dry, oil the area between the blades, working the scissors so any ground up hair or moisture is expelled by oil. Now carefully spread the oil on the inside of the scissor blades with your finger. If you haven’t done this before, ask your local Scissor Man to show you how. If you’re in a hurry, at the very least wipe and oil your scissors before you run out the door.
8- It is critical that your scissors stay in the correct adjustment. All scissors need to be adjusted regularly. Here’s an easy method for you to check the adjustment yourself. Hold the scissors in what we call the "nine o’clock" position “So the one blade will be on nine o’clock and the second blade will be on twelve o’clock”, now if the horizontal handle is released, the scissors should not close but stop somewhere between "ten o’clock" and "eleven o’clock". This method works for 90% of scissors on the market. Some long blades or scissors with a balance face insert may need to be tighter, no scissors should be looser - you can adjust your scissors by turning the screw or knob clockwise a little at a time and re-checking.
9-It is also wise to shampoo your customers before hair cut the grease in your customer hair can damage the blades of the shears.
