The barbers where I go (and there are hairdressers as well) all use scissors with replaceable blades. When they get dull they just pop a new pair of blades on there. The blades look disposable rather than made to be sharpened.

Rgds,

Allgonquin,
Looked into it a bit hair stylists carry high end scissors in the $100 plus range.
They pay around $35 per pair for sharpening and each has multiples.
Not a bad gig but your working with some delicate cutters.
Seems the high end ones are convex on one side, with a bit of a twist I believe to some that forces the blades tighter as they close.

The machines they use to sharpen these are complex using sanding pads and articulating arms and not cheap!

I’m thinking the WEPS with the right attachment may allow you to treat them just as you would a convex knife, setting multi angles.
