Don’t think you need a case for your scissors? Think again! If you leave them laying around they’re easier to lose, easier for clients to pick up and use for something other than their own hair, and it’s easier for them to get damaged.
These fun-colored cases will solve all these problems for you! They hold your scissors and have a place for your business card. When it comes to scissor cases, you want to have a material that is breathable and won’t damage your scissors. Many cases are plastic – which hold moisture in and can lead to rust and corrosion on your blades. These new cases are faux leather and hold two scissors.
Investing in a good pair of scissors and in subsequent scissor sharpening and upkeep can be meaningless of you don’t have a good place to keep them. These cases keep your investments safe, and you don’t have to worry about damaging your precious scisssors, because they are, in fact, part of your livlihood!

i have some scissors that needs to be sharpened, what do i use and how do i do it?

If they are not super expensive scissors, you can sharpen with one of these – http://www.scissorsharpener.org/fiskars_98617397_scissors_sharpener.htm or cut up a potato chip bag made from foil. I have the Fiskars sharpener and have also used the chip bag method. The later was a happy accident. You can find the Fiskars sharpener at a fabric store or craft store with the scissors display.

If your scissors are for cutting hair or are super expensive, contact their respective companies as they may do this free or for a small fee.

Hardware stores are another place to check for this service and some fabric stores have someone who comes in for the day to sharpen scissors for their customers – a fee is involved.

I’ve got Wahl Clippers that need sharpening and wondered where barbers go to get theirs done. Should I find people who do scissors and hope they’ll do other things?

typically someone comes around the beauty salons and barber shops and brings a portable sharpening shop in a van and sharpens everyone’s scissors right then for a few $. About once a month.

I don’t have one of those sharpener trucks coming through my neighbourhood, so I was just wondering how I would go about sharpening my own scissors.

This might sound totally basic to some of you out there, but I just don’t know what kind of tool I would need or where to get it. I’m assuming some place like Home Depot would have something.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You sharpen knifes with stones, They make special stones, but I’ve used flat ones found in my back yard. Scissors are harder to sharpen since most have rivits instead of screws holding them together. Here’s a helpful website
