1. Inspection: Every Edge Tells a Story
Before we sharpen anything, we inspect every shear carefully. This step is essential to identify signs of wear, micro-chips, blade alignment issues, or excess tension. Only by understanding the condition of your shears can we restore them to their ideal form—without over-sharpening or removing unnecessary material.

2. Hammering: The Hidden Art of Tension Correction
If needed, we use precision hammering to correct tension and alignment in the blade. While it may sound old-fashioned, this technique ensures your shears have the just-right tension for a smooth, frictionless feel while cutting. It’s a delicate process—done by hand, with care—so your shears close cleanly and effortlessly

3. Precision Honing with Japanese Lapping Film: Sharpened to Exact Standards
We use Japanese lapping film—an advanced material trusted for fine precision work—to hand-hone every blade with extreme accuracy. Unlike rough or uneven machine sharpening, this method produces a clean, consistent edge that meets professional-grade standards and stays sharper for longer.

4. Convex Honing: Crafting the Perfect Edge
Using specialized tools and knowledge gained directly from Japan, we hone the perfect convex edge. A true convex edge not only looks better but also slices hair more cleanly, quietly, and smoothly—with less resistance. This shape reduces hair bending and tugging, preserving the integrity of every cut.

5. Hand-Polishing: Bring Back the Shine
After sharpening, we hand polish each pair of shears to restore their original shine. This finishing touch doesn't just make them look like new—it also smooths out micro-imperfections along the surface, helping prevent future corrosion or buildup from products and moisture.

6. Precision Adjustment: Blade and Handle Alignment
After sharpening, we carefully inspect each shear for balance and alignment. If needed, we adjust the blade angle, handle position, or tension to ensure optimal cutting performance and ergonomic comfort. Every detail matters—because even a perfectly sharpened edge won't perform its best without proper alignment.

7. Feeling Check: It’s Not Done Until It Feels Right
We finish every job with a feeling check, adjusting anything that compromises the shear’s smooth, effortless feel. This includes fine-tuning the tension, alignment, and closing action to ensure the shears don’t just cut—they glide.

If we find worn or damaged parts like stoppers or washers, we replace them as needed to restore the full performance and comfort of your shears. These small components play a big role in maintaining balance, reducing friction, and preventing long-term wear.

If something’s not right, we make it right—because performance matters.
