Over 20 years ago Washi started something no other manufacture in the industry would do. We began training self-spirited entrepreneurs, the secrets of sharpening high quality hair shears. To understand the business, you must first understand that high quality hair shears should not be confused with ordinary hair cutting scissors that may be purchased at a general store. Professional styling hair shears have become a sophisticated instrument of exacting quality costing several hundred dollars. These shears are used by the vast majority of stylists. Most stylists sharpen their hair shears every 4-6 months and normally have several pairs. The majority of sharpeners, including those who sharpen medical instruments, knives, and sewing shears, simply do not have the proper training and equipment to sharpen high quality Japanese style razor sharp hair shears. Normally, a professional servicing high quality shears will charge $25-$35 for his sharpening service, per shear. The experienced sharpener should easily be able to perform this task in less than 10 minutes. Now I want you to go grab your local phone book and look up Beauty Salons. Salons often have 5 to 10 hair stylists. A stylist may often have 3 or more shears. You can quickly estimate how many salons, hair stylists, and shears there are that need to be serviced. If it only took 10 minutes to sharpen each shear, at $25 per shear, just imagine how many shears you could sharpen a day. You’re right! Sharpening high quality hair shears can quickly add up to BIG BUCKS. If you knew a very specialized skill, that allowed you to make thousands of dollars per month, working whenever you wanted, how many other individuals would you want to know your secret? Probably no one. For this reason the proper way of sharpening high quality shears, has been a guarded secret. In 1980 the engineers of Pro Sharp Industries, a small scissors company in Houston Texas, created a machine that would forever change the high quality shear sharpening industry. They invented a machine that would become to be known as the Pro Sharp horizontal flat hone. This machine became one of the first machines that allowed a sharpener to perform on-site expert sharpening as if the scissors were sent back to Japan to be sharpened by a experienced Japanese craftsman. This machine sharpened shears quicker and better than any machine that had previously been developed. For this reason, many individuals continue to attempt to copy this original machine design to this very day. After the machine was developed, completely tested, and run in a production environment in the scissors factory, we made the following long-term goals:
The goal was to create the largest organization of shear specialists in the world. These shear experts would become the leaders in the industry for sharpening and sales. No surprise the system worked and this program which you are reading about has become the most successful scissors-training program available to this day for the sharpening of high quality shears.
