Hair Stylists and Pet Groomers

“The right tool for the job”

Hair stylists and pet groomers know that having the right tool working properly makes all the difference in delivering the kind of work that meets their customers expectations. The same is true for sharpening that equipment.

Hair cutting shears are a significant investment costing hundreds even thousands of dollars. Shears come in a variety of styles, sizes, and types. Over time stylists and groomers develop preferences and want to protect their investment.

The challenge for the sharpener, just like the stylist or groomer, is to find the right tool for the job.

Every machine ever invented for sharpening has one goal, to remove as much guess work as possible.

At Lakes Area Sharpening we believe we have found the right tools to deliver consistent results for the specialized equipment used by stylists and groomers. We use the Treyco system for clipper blades and we use the Ez-Vex system for shears.

The Treyco system can handle all types and sizes of clipper blades from all the different makers, and can be used in both an automatic mode and a hand mode which ever works best for your clippers.

The Ez-Vex shear sharpening system is the only system we are aware of that sharpens the convex surface of your shears on a matching concave surface. With other systems the surfaces do not match which can lead to unsatisfactory and inconsistent results. The Ez-Vex system is designed specifically to accommodate all types of high end shears and deliver predictable results while removing as little metal as possible, which means your expensive shears last longer.

The truth is, at Lakes Area Sharpening we avoided high end shears until we found the Ez-Vex system, we waited until we found the right tool for the job.
