Scissor Care
Calibration
Incorrectly setting the scissors can seriously impair the blades. If the scissors are too loose, the hair can get caught between the blades or the hair could slide off them. If they are too tight, it increases wear on the blade material. Both incorrect settings reduce the working life of the scissors and undermine their cutting properties.
with this mind:
Always adjust correctly!
- Set the scissors so lose that they close shut under their own weight.
- Now, adjust the Akashi screw system until the blade can no longer close under its own weight and remains in place in any position (see image). The screw system can be adjusted step by step.

Maintenance
Depending on use, hairdressing scissors should be cleaned and oiled several times a week For this we recommend the medically approved Akashi oil, fulfills the highest demands on purity, compatibility and function. The pivot point in particular (see image) and screw should be oiled as this is where the most friction occurs.
Disinfection
Follow the instructions for use of the disinfection manufacturer. After disinfecting, wash the scissors under running water, rub dry and use the hairdryer to heat poorly accessible areas such as the screw system and the finger rings so that there are no more water residues. Then oil the scissors again with Akashi scissor oil.
