What's Included?
Your hair cutting scissors should be serviced every year during normal use but if you create more than average number of cuts then we suggest a service twice per year. Your scissor should always be serviced by a qualified Matakki technician otherwise you could invalidate your lifetime warranty.
Our service includes a detailed pre-service inspection report followed by a deep machine polish to rectify any edge faults. We then polish the ride area and hone line using a Japanese glass stone with a grit rating of 6000, this is an essential part of the service process. You can have a perfect convex edge but if the ride line is not polished then your scissor simply will not glide. The next process is gentle work with a diamond wheel to recreate the cutting edge, this process takes away a very small amount of steel to create a burr. Next the blades are worked on a leather polishing wheel to convex your scissors to the correct angle.
We then check the scissor balance and sett, rubber stopper, tension screw system and finger rest and make any required corrections and replace any parts if needed. All scissors are then cut tested in both wet and dry tissue, cleaned, oiled, polished and returned back to you in as flawless condition.

Please add any specific notes about your scissor to the “order notes” section.

Once your payment has completed, print your email receipt or invoice and place together with your scissor in your secure package.
