What makes a quality Hair Shear?

Because I’ve been in the sharpening business for many years, I often get this question posed to me by stylists.  Really what does make a quality Hair Shears?  After sharpening thousands of shears of every different brand name and style, I’ve found the single most important thing about a shear is the tension control.  Many would tell you that it first and foremost has to do with good steel.  Although this is true, steel is secondary to tension control.  If you have a shear with great steel but horrible tension, you will still always be bending hair and having dull ends to your shears.  This is an important point when it comes to owning a quality shear.

Vintage Cabinets Perfect Touch for 1950′s Kitchen

The kitchen cabinets had already been removed from the house and were stored in an outbuilding on the property.  I took one look at them and knew immediately that they were perfect for my kitchen.  The owner allowed me to inspect each cabinet to assure that they were in good condition.  We reached an agreement on the price and made arrangements for delivery.  I was so pleased with the results when the kitchen phase of the renovation was completed.  It was worth all the time and work I put into refinishing the cabinets, woodwork, and floors.  The Vintage kitchen cabinets were the perfect touch and looked like they were original to the house.
