Babyliss Pro Battery Re Cell Service

Clipper Service & Repair

Babyliss Pro Cordless Clipper Repair

Jane sent us her Babyliss Pro barbers clipper to repair. She had removed the blades for cleaning and could not get them to work again. We cleaned and repaired the clipper, sharpened the blades and offered Jane the option of fitting a new battery if required.

The Babyliss Pro is a good quality barbers clipper and with a new battery fitted and sharp blades Jane’s clipper is working well. 👍

(Cordless clippers are often stored in a stand which keeps it constantly on charge. To extend the battery lifespan you can turn off the charging stand when you wont be using the clipper. For example a hairdresser can turn the power off at night and on days when they aren’t working.)

SL Service - Your Clipper Service and Sharpening Specialist

Scissor Sharpening Service

Customer Returned Scissors

We sharpened 5 scissors for Rosemary who uses them to cut various fabric. Rosemary returned 3 scissors to us as she believes them to not be sharpened correctly.

Having inspected the scissors we assess them to be sharpened to a high standard with sharp cutting edges and properly maintained inside faces. The scissors Rosemary sent are general purpose scissors which work fine for most purposes but can struggle on thicker fabric.

For reliably cutting thick fabric you do need sturdy scissors which don’t flex and ideally have slightly hollow blade faces.

We did refund Rosemary but as we assessed the work to have been done correctly we cannot accept any further orders from her. 😐
