If that’s the case, you’re in the right spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemember, you can save money on a service by signing up for a trade account.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScissor servicing isn’t just an essential part of owning a pair of scissors, it’s got other important benefits that you really should know about first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\" start=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA good professional will service their scissors at a minimum, every 6 months with most stylists choosing to service theirs sooner or whenever they feel their scissors becoming blunt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOiling and setting the tension daily will extend the life of your scissor and protect against needing to service sooner than you expected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNever leave your scissors in barbicide or similar products overnight. It’s water-based and can rust your scissor and its internal parts, making cutting more difficult and causing irreparable damage. The recommended time to leave your scissor sterilising is 20 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you can’t use Quartered Steels for servicing your scissors, please choose a reputable service technician. There are many poor-quality service technicians out there and they can ruin your scissors beyond repair in minutes. Check their reviews on Google, ask others who have used them and ask if they will cover the whole cost of your scissor if they break or damage them. If a scissor technician says it will only take 2 minutes to service your scissors, that’s too quick. We spend a minimum of 45 minutes on each scissor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA cheap service is generally not a good service. £30.00 and up, depending on how bad they are, is a good rule of thumb to judge whether they charge properly for their time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo, now you know a little bit more about scissor servicing, you can move forward confidently.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen we service your scissors, we pay lots of attention to them. We know these are your pride and joy and we know that professionals invest a hefty amount in their tools.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first thing we do is inspect your scissor. We use a magnifying glass to check if there are any dents or chips in the blade and bends in the tip if you have dropped them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter that, we disassemble your scissor and check the internal parts for wear and tear. There are a lot of variations when it comes to the moving parts and we stock virtually every part there is. You can feel confident that if your scissor needs new parts, we’ll make sure it gets them.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe’ll then sharpen the edges and check the sett. The sett is the bow in the scissor, if you look through your scissor when it’s closed, you’ll be able to see light through them. That’s the sett. It has to be formed in a certain way for the scissor to work effectively and also to protect its new edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFollowing this, we add a new ride-line, which helps your blades slide smoothly against each other.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn reassembling your scissor, we check the handles are in the right place, make sure the tips are aligned and not crossing over and check it cuts perfectly.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce we are happy, we’ll send them back to you via courier, safely and securely packed on a next-day service. Or if you are local to us, you can collect them or we can drop them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur servicing charge is £35.00 as standard which you can pay for now before you send them off to us. If they need any more work which will have an additional charge, we’ll promptly contact you before we undertake that work.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHere is our servicing department address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease send your scissors in a case, wrapped securely with your name, return address, email and phone number and a brief description of the issue on a piece of paper inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eService Dept\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuartered Steels Ltd\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnit 5\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFarset Enterprise Park\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e638 Springfield Road\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBelfast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnited Kingdom\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBT12 7DY\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThank you for your trust in us.
