You are Not Allowed to Pay at Post Office counter to send your scissors.
Do your research before handing over your precious hairdressing scissors for sharpening. Don't rely on a search for scissor sharpening near me.
Opting for cheaper and more convenient mobile sharpening services may prove to be a costly mistake. If your hairdressing scissors are poorly sharpened, you might find yourself having to purchase new ones.
Unfortunately, many sharpeners use grinding machines, which destroy fragile convex edges in seconds, consequently creating bevelled edges - tragically these edges are then no better than dog grooming scissors.
We sharpen hairdressing scissors/thinners (including left-handed scissors) and provide a full scissor sharpening service, which includes any repairs, re-balancing, re-alignment, polishing and setting the correct tension. Our technicians are highly skilled and extremely experienced in the art of Japanese scissor sharpening techniques.
We're proud to be one of the only companies in the UK that offers full convex hairdressing scissor sharpening. If you send us scissors with convex edges, we will ensure that the convex edges are preserved. Most premium hairdressing scissors available on the market, feature convex edges (razor-sharp edges that are barely visible to the human eye).
We use the same equipment premium scissor manufacturers use, i.e. The Hikari Factory. They use the same equipment to create razor-sharp edges on new two-piece convex hairdressing scissors.
When servicing high-quality hairdressing scissors, barber scissors or thinning scissors, it's crucial to disassemble the scissors. Sharpening the entire length of the blade and assessing the centre screw assembly are imperative steps.
We prioritise the use of a water-cooled sharpening machine to prevent overheating of scissors. Over-heated scissor blades (usually caused by grinding) can change the structure of the steel.
We always ensure that hairdressing scissors are sharpened in accordance to the manufacturer specifications - this means ensuring that scissors are sharpened at the correct angle, E.g. Joewell scissors are sharpened at a slightly different angle to Kamisori scissors.
Hairdressing scissors undergo a skilled hand sharpening process using a combination of wet and dry paper, Japanese wet stones and polishing leathers. Through this process, we achieve a mirror finish, resulting in scissor blades that are razor sharp and exceptionally smooth.
We have extensive experience in sharpening both the inside (using Japanese wet stones) and the outside of scissor blades. Our meticulous process ensures minimal metal removal, resulting in a significantly prolonged lifespan for your scissors.
Our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in sharpening techniques is unwavering. We dedicate the necessary time and expertise to ensure that every pair of scissors that leaves our premises delivers impeccable cutting performance.

Our amazing 5 Star reviews on Facebook, Google and our website, prove that we offer an exceptional scissor sharpening service.
We have been talked about very positively in many hairdresser forums and because of this, we were contacted by Capital Hair & Beauty to stock our information in some of their stores.
We have 20 years of experience in sharpening hairdressing scissors and were trained to the highest level, by completing an extensive apprenticeship in Australia, under the guidance of a master scissor maker/sharpener. He is one of the only Westerners ever to have trained in the Hikari factory in Japan.
If a poor sharpener changed your convex scissors blades to slight bevel edges, we may be able to restore your scissors back to their original convex edges.
Sadly, if your convex scissor blades have been replaced with heavy bevel edges, it will not be possible to restore them back to their original convex edges. However, we can still significantly enhance performance and ensure your scissors cut perfectly before returning them to you.
We can drastically improve most hairdressing scissors that have been dropped and/or have slight nicks.
However, the blades cannot be re-shaped because the composition and structure of the steel means there is a chance a blade could snap.
Don't google scissor sharpening near me. You may think it doesn’t matter who sharpens your hairdressing scissors … However, you need to be aware that some scissor sharpening methods and machinery can have a detrimental effect on hairdressing scissors.
Look closely at your scissor blades.... Do they look exactly the same as when you first purchased your scissors?
• Poor sharpeners fail to take scissors apart, assess and replace scissor parts, sharpen the whole blade and maintain the ride line.
• Poor sharpening techniques involve unevenly sharpened blades, overheating, destroying fragile convex edges, removing too much steel, not adhering to manufacturer’s original angle and not tensioning correctly.
• Poor sharpener attitude is one of “time is money”.

“My first impression of Extreme Edge was how professional they are. Every question was answered, as I looked through their website. My main concern was ‘Are they going to ruin my scissors’ – ABSOLUTELY NO !! – My scissors have never been so good! (I say this because it has happened to me before and I had to purchase new ones). Secondly, I posted my scissors away on a Wednesday and they were delivered back to me on the Friday – 2 days, AMAZING !! Would have no hesitation recommending this company to fellow hairstylists. Price is Brilliant too!."

"Having dropped my scissors, I needed an immediate repair. Extreme Edge was brilliant! I posted the scissors to them, they fixed them the day they received them, and I got them back the next day, all fixed and as good as new. I received an excellent service, even a follow-up call to check I'd got them back ok and I was happy. This is a great company whom I'd thoroughly recommend. They definitely go the extra mile and are very proficient.."

“After months of researching (and putting it off) I finally decided to get my scissors sharpened. I had found your website very informative and the testimonials left by other people helped put my mind at ease! I sent my scissors off on the Monday and they were back with me on Wednesday... Well, what can I say? You have done an amazing job; I would go as far as saying they cut better now, then they did new! Thank you for providing such a faultless service... I shall definitely use you again and have already recommended you to my colleagues :)l.”
