SCISSOR CARE

17 July 2011

+   Cut only hair with your hairdressing scissors

+   Keep you scissors in a dry place and container when not in use

+   Wipe y0ur scissor blades daily with a soft,dry cloth or tissue to remove moisture and fragments of

     hair.  Clean scissors with metholated spirits only. Do not use disinfectant as this will corrode

     blades.

+   Put one drop of scissor oil in the pivot area of your scissors once a week.

+   Scissors become loose under normal use, tighten the screw assembly one notch at a time until 

     they feel right to you.  Do not overtighten scissors.

+   If scissors are accidently damaged and a nick is in the blades, its best not to use them as the nick

     will get bigger.  Send them to an experienced and reputable scissor sharpener.
