Who We Are

Hydro Hone Professional Shear Sharpening is a company committed to the perfect edge. From the time that Japanese-style, hollow-ground shears first entered the U.S. market, we have continuously found new ways to improve upon the methods used to sharpen and recondition shears, and provide stylists with the sharpest, longest-lasting edge for their cutting tools.

We were sharpening shears before the invention of the clamshell (or convex) edge, that has now become the industry standard. Hydro Hone's Master Sharpener, Michael Haynes, trained with the top shear manufacturers in Japan and Osaka, using slow-turning Hoyo machines in the days when all shears were manufactured with a beveled edge. Every shear was handmade back then, and required painstaking precision when being rebalanced and reconditioned.

Professional hair shears have come a long way since then.... and so have we. We continuously research the latest in abrasion and polishing technology, and combine that with the tried and true methods of authentic Japanese Water Honing to produce the finest possible cutting edge for shears and texturizers. Mike has designed and built our state-of-the-art sharpening equipment for the past 30 years, and continues to provide exceptional sharpening and shear repair to stylists nationwide.
