General care
After every client
- Brush off hair and wipe the blades with a soft cloth.
- Clean them the way the maker’s instructions say.
- Dry them fully and close them.
End of the day
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs.
- Check the tension without forcing the blades.
- Store them closed in a dry case, not loose in a drawer.
Tension check
- Hold them tips up by the finger ring, open the thumb blade and let it drop.
- Each maker has its own stop point; use the one for this model.
- Never force a tight screw.
Sharpening
- Hair folding or pushing along the blade means it's time for a professional sharpen.
