Superior Edge: Professional Scissors Sharpening & Sales



Superior Edge (Cape Town based - national via courier) has worldwide recognition and accreditation from some of the finest brands including Matsuzaki, Sensei Shears, Sam Villa Tondeo & Jaguar.


Master sharpener Michèle La Trobe was scouted and received her training overseas. She is qualified to sharpen any brand and model and is the exclusive South African servicing agent for Sam Villa shears. She sharpens the scissors of leading SA hairdressers including Reto and Ierephaan (click HERE to read their testimonials)


We service clients in all areas of Cape Town and can collect and deliver from your salon or home. Sharpening takes 1-3 days and we offer courtesy scissors while yours are away. For an even quicker turn around scissors can be brought to our Sea Point premises by appointment only and sharpened while you wait.

Outside of Cape Town, please courier your shears to us (we suggest Postnet R99.00 service, safe and reliable) and we will courier them back ASAP.


We use the finest Japanese sharpening machinery and specialized abrasives along with careful analysis and precision finishing techniques to ensure only the best results for every pair of scissors we sharpen.



Pricing ranges from R300.00 to R400.00 per sharpening depending on the cutting edge of the shears.

  • Perfectly Sharpened and fully balanced

  • Faulty / old parts replaced or repaired
