YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED!!!
KEEP YOUR SHEARS CLEAN!
It is very important to keep your shears as clean as possible.
Use a toothbrush to clean hair and debris from under the screw.
KEEP ALL CORROSIVE MATERIALS
OFF
OF YOUR HAIR SHEARS.
Letting permanent wave solution set on any part of your shears will pit the surface, even stainless steel can be corroded by strong chemicals. Be sure to rinse any chemical solutions from your shears immediately. This will help avoid extra charges for re-hollow grinding the inside of pitted blades.
If your shear blades do become damaged by mishandling, they can be restored to like-new condition! The cost is minimal compared to replacing fine hair shears. The price is listed on our price list.
ONLY CUT HAIR WITH YOUR HAIR SHEARS!
Never cut anything other than hair. Especially do not cut the top off perm bottles. Keep your shears put away safely when not in use. People who don't have a clue as to how precious and expensive your shears are may use them to open packages, cut cardboard, trim their fingernails, accidentally drop them, etc.
KEEP YOUR HAIR SHEARS LUBRICATED!
Proper lubrication keeps the metal parts that contact and slide against one another from wearing out prematurely while it gives the hair shear that smooth effortless feeling you liked so much when the shear was new. This is because lubrication reduces the friction and drag between the contacting surfaces. Lubrication also aids in preventing rust and corrosion of the metal. YOU DO NOT NEED TO LUBRICATE THE NEW RIDELESS BALL BEARING PIVOT HAIR SHEARS.
- Put a drop of light oil or silicone lubricant between the blades at the "ride" (the crescent shaped area behind the pivot screw near the handles)and wipe the excess off with a cloth.
- You may then wipe down the shear blades with the cloth (VERY CAREFULLY HAIR SHEARS ARE RAZOR SHARP!) to coat the blades with a thin film of lubricant.
- Do this at least once a week but preferably at the end of each day.

AN AEROSOL SILICONE LUBRICANT has the advantage of blowing out
hair and debris from the pivot area of your hair shears as you spray it on.
Silicones are preferable to oils as hair does not stick
to the dry silicone film as it does to oil.
An excellent silicone shear lubricant is available in aerosol
cans or dropper bottles from Custom Sharpening by Hand.
TO INSERT A BUMPER
- Remove the old glue that could be in the hole and around the edges. You can use a toothpick or pipe-cleaning tool to do this.
- Take the bumper that fits your shear.
- Insert it into the hole.
- Attach a very small drop of Super Glue into the hole where the top of the bumper makes contact with the metal of the finger ring.
- Hold in place until set.
- If you use the bumper with a tail, trim off the excess tail-otherwise skip this step.
- You are now all set to go back to work.
