TESTIMONIALS

“I am a barber living in Queens, NY that was in desperate need for my scissors to be sharpened. After months of using my scissors, they eventually became very dull: that's when I found Steve. When he finished sharpening my scissors, I honestly thought that they just bought me a new pair because of how razor sharp they were. ”

- David J. NYC


“I have very expensive Japanese scissors and was looking for someone who has experience with sharpening this specific pair of scissors. They exceeded my expectations and was blown away by the overall quality of their service. Very well done. ”
