QUESTIONS

Before You Hand Them Over

The things nail techs ask us most. Anything else, just call.

What if I'm not happy with the edge?

Tell us within 7 days and we re-sharpen that tool free. If the second pass still isn't right, we refund what you paid for it. No argument.

Will you damage my expensive nippers?

Every tool is re-edged by hand and checked under magnification before it goes back. If we damage a tool through our own error, we cover the repair or replace it.

Do you work on Japanese and Russian nippers?

Yes, both, plus every other brand we have seen. Japanese steel is harder and holds a finer edge, Russian nippers usually need more attention to jaw alignment. Same price either way.

How many times can one tool be sharpened?

A quality nipper handles many years of regular sharpening. We remove only the metal needed to restore the edge, so the jaw geometry stays intact far longer than with a grinder.

What if the jaws don't meet anymore?

Alignment is part of the service, not an extra. Misaligned jaws are the most common reason a nipper feels dead, and it is usually fixable without touching the edge much at all.

My tools have rust spots. Still worth it?

Usually yes. Surface rust comes off during the process. Deep pitting on the cutting edge itself is the one thing we cannot undo โ€” we check first and tell you before we charge you.

Do you come out to Round Rock and Cedar Park?

Yes. Pickup covers Austin and about 70 miles around it. Outside the core zone there is a small travel fee, or you can use the 24/7 drop-off at the shop.

Are the tools sanitized?

They come back cleaned and ready for your own sterilization cycle. We handle them on a dedicated bench, but your autoclave stays the final step, as your board requires.
