How to clean and adjust hairdressing scissors
Keeping your scissors clean and well-maintained prolongs their overall lifespan and ensures optimal performance.
Hair scissors should be kept clean and carefully maintained to prolong the life of their sharp edges and their overall durability.
It is inevitable that hairdressing scissors are constantly in contact with hair, but in addition to this, they can come into contact with chemicals, as well as dust and dirt; accidental contact with the blade edges could also damage the sharpness.
Continued use of unclean or damaged scissors will accelerate blade deterioration.
Store your professional scissors properly.
WHAT TO DO
1. Clean and lubricate your scissors at the end of each workday.
2. Check the scissor adjustment (tension) at least once a day.
3. Check for chips or other damage if they are dropped. If you see damage, put them aside immediately and call the service center: continuing to cut with damaged scissors will cause further damage.
4. Store and transport your scissors in a case, or purchase a good quality case for scissor protection.
WHAT NOT TO DO
1. Do not use scissors on hair when they are unbalanced, do not have the correct tension, or are damaged from a fall.
2. Do not store dirty scissors.
3. Do not "abandon" your scissors in a drawer when not in use.
4. Avoid exchanging hairdressing scissors with colleagues.
5. Avoid contact with perms or hair dyes, which can cause corrosive damage to the blade.
