Checking and adjusting your shears tension.

Shear tip #2, After your shears are thoroughly cleaned and oiled your tension will need to be checked and adjusted. Proper tension is the absolute most important factor on how well and long your shears will perform and this is the Stylists responsibility. Tension that is too loose will force you to use un-necessary side pressure with your thumb and wear or grind your edges down and also cause damage, Tension is too tight this will also cause damage to your edges and your hand. Correct tension will also help protect your blades if dropped to the floor. Follow the direction on the picture below and feel free to contact us if you need any help with

Shear tip #1, thoroughly clean & oil your shears daily. This simple little daily habit will keep your shears cutting better & longer, making you a happier cutter. :) And remember to use clear, white oil, nothing dark.
