Salon Scissors Essential Sharpening 
 
The Essential sharpening service is for scissors requiring routine sharpening. This includes a thorough assessment and disassembling of the scissors to confirm that they meet the conditions for this type of service. 
 
This involves removing abrasions, nicks, refurbishing the edge correctly and adjusting any minor alignment issues. All replacement parts such as tension systems, silencers, inserts, and finger rest are at an extra charge.
 
However, it does not entail a complete reconstruction of scissors that have reached the end of their lifespan. Or new scissors purchased from competitors that are malfunctioning and perhaps have defective workmanship or parts. These scissors should be returned to that brand’s service department for repair or replacement.
 
When a manufacturer produces scissors with improper geometry, and there a many, the cutting process deteriorates within a few workdays. It is unreasonable to expect the untrained observer to determine whether a scissor is geometrically balanced, as the majority of new scissors feel good and cut well, at least for a while. It forces the stylist to compensate for the scissors failures such as bending, pushing, and pulling of the hair.
 
Lightning Sharp sells only GeoPerfect scissors that are supported with their exclusive Elite Edge. This proprietary service is available only with the purchase of the Lightning Sharp Brands, such as their International and Inazuma Scissors
