OWNED BY BARBER + COSMOTOLOGIST
In 2018 my favorite 2 decade long shear sharpener. sold his business, retired moved out of state.
Unfortunately, the new owner did not hone on a cold water wetstone and was on-site mobile in my salon with sandpaper!
After that experience on a quest for a new shear sharpener, I began to find myself overwhelmed at the idea of sharpening my own shears as I knew a cold wetsone hone by hand was the reason my Yasaka shears lasted almost 20 years.
I began to find myself "preserving" my last few favorite sharpened shears and focused more on colors and chemical straightening. Eventually, I did not even enjoy cutting hair.
THE PROBLEM WASNT BURNOUT OR MY LOVE FOR OUR CRAFT. IT WAS NOT MY TOOLS. IT WAS SHARPENING SERVICES DISTROYING MY HAIRCUTTING SHEARS.
Every sharpening became more disappointing, so I began to buy shears instead of sharpening.
Wondering why I became a Barber afterall.
Like a miracle In 2024, I remembered that my first shear purchase in 1996 YASAKA 5" Shear an an envolope to the recommended sharpener. I called to see if they were still in business 30 years later. They were! I sent them my most damaged sharpened shear plus 2 otheres. I was absolutely blessed to have received the gift of my shears like new again. Each of my shears has been restored.
My Oster 76 blades. 00000- 3 3/4", all sharpened. Texturizing shears sharpened. Finally honed just right.
WIth lost ldesire to cut hair, and restored love of cutting hair.
AN EDGE BEYOND WAS BORN.
