"Does sharpening my shears take steel off reducing the life of my blades?"

 

   Sharpening your shears does remove steel.  When sharpened correctly, it removes very little steel per sharpening; not changing the blades angle, but rather removing all nicks, providing a sharp, clean edge.  I would rather use a sharp shear for 10 years, than a dull one for 50.

​

"How often should I sharpen my shears?"

​

    There are many factors to determine this (drops, nicks, steel quality, etc.), but the industry standard is 800-1000 cuts per sharpening.  For the average stylist with an average work week and an average shear, this usually amounts to every 4-6 months.  If one of your client's kids picks them up and tries to cut some wires with them, it'll probably be a little more often!!  Even without removing nicks, you should regularly have your shears maintained; cleaning, oiling and balancing are essential to get the most out of your shears now and in the future.
