Scissorman craftsmanship
Our story

Three generations of cutting-edge craft

Founded over 35 years ago by Stephen Gwalter, The Original Scissorman set out to give salons a professional, on-site sharpening and servicing solution — no risk of posting valuable tools away.

Today the company is run by Luke Langford, who learned the trade side-by-side with the founder for over a decade. That same hands-on expertise now goes into every blade we sell and every edge we restore.

Had 4 pairs of scissors sharpened and balanced by Luke. All 4 pairs came back immaculate, cutting as if brand new 👌

My scissors are saved!! After having them sharpened elsewhere and totally ruined, the Original Scissorman fixed them and they feel brand new! Honest and professional and even gave follow-up advice. Never will I ever go elsewhere again! Thank you so much!
