Testimonials

In 2020, I joined the National Beauty Tool Sharpening Guild, now National Sharpeners Guild. During the 2021 convention, I signed up to certify on salon shears – it was a very difficult test. I was impressed with the execution and detailed report I received.
Certification, to me, means a personal accomplishment. I proved to myself that I am a creditable sharpener. The feedback I received has made me an even better sharpener. It gave me a starting point for my journey to continuous improvement and commitment to excellence.
