No. I sharpen fabric, kitchen, and household scissors, but I do not currently sharpen grooming or professional hair shears.

I serve Red Bank and the surrounding Monmouth County area. Send your town with your request and I will confirm availability.

Standard kitchen and pocket knives start at $12 per item. Other tools range from $12 to $20. See the complete price guide for exact rates.

Please clean and dry your tools before service. For safe handoff, use blade guards, cardboard sleeves, or wrap blades securely in a towel inside a sturdy box.

Minor edge damage may be addressable during sharpening. For large chips, broken tips, heavy rust, or unusual tools, send a clear photo first so I can assess the work.
