Scissors Clinic Sharpening Service and Salon

I had my dog clipper blades sharpened and my clippers cleaned. I was very disappointed of the job he did with sharpening the blades. When I went to use my blades none of them worked. I called him and he suggested that I take them for re sharpening. When I picked up again I took my dog so I could try my blades on my dog. They cut like butter. I was really happy with the job he had done, for my surprise the more I used them the more dull they got. It’s like having disposable blades. work on one dog and they became very dull. He is a really nice guy but defenetly not experienced on dog tools. Never going back

Never going back again, he’s a really nice person but he does not know how to work with dog blades. I think he should of told me that in the first place, he kept my blades for almost 3 weeks and he did a redo to fix the problem but the problem didn’t get fixed because my blades are still dull. I’m not happy with the work he did. I wasted my money for nothing.

The staff is friendly and the work is done same day unfortunately the quality of the work is not so good I took in some blades to get sharpened and more than half of them still don’t work

Saw this place on Unilocal because I was looking to get my clippers serviced. Came in dropped them off and they told me it would be two weeks before I could pick them up. I was a little bummed but I decided to just go with it. When I picked them up I was amazed how amazing my clippers worked. There work like brand new. I will most definitely be back here…

Haven’t been this happy with my outliners and blades since 20 years ago when they still worked right out of the package… Daryl is a true Wizard… Will be going here the rest of my career

Very seldom do I give establishments a good review. This man is a skilled professional. Although I have never personally meet him (his daughter handled my transaction) I did not have to explain to him what needed to be done. The business is very clean with a great ambiance. It took almost a week for him to perform the services to my clippers, yet the job was done right. The cost was also very reasonable. I believe I will be doing business with this establishment for many years to come.

Amazing dropped my clippers off on Thursday told to pick them up on Tuesday to find they weren’t done. Was told wait a couple of minutes while guy sharpens them. Why did I have to wait 5 days to have something done in five minutes WHAT AN INCONVENIENCE!!!

The Scissor clinic has consistently impressed me with Daryl’s skill and professional manner — and his great smile! I bring my Japanese shears to him because he sharpens them like no other! Sometimes because of my schedule can’t make it over to him as early as I would like, and am absolutely frazzled sometimes needing my tools or scissors sharpened asap, and I always leave satisfied and relieved that I made the trip to his shop. Thank you Daryl!

I drive all the way from North Hollywood to have my shears sharpened here cause you guys do it right! Great quality at a fair price, thank you I sure will be back!

Darryl sharpened my clipper blades and they are awesome! Thank you Darryl for working with me and getting then done in such a timely fashion! Def recommend him. I will be back to have him sharpen my shears as well!

They did an excellent job repairing my clippers. I also think they have great décor; museum like pieces of barber’s equipment and photos. The two brothers were courteous and knowledgeable. I will go back.

Very happy with my shears. Never disappoints.

It has been awhile since my shears have been sharpened. Of course being new to the area I looked to Unilocal for some suggestions on where to find someone to sharpen my shears. The Scissors Clinic was the one with the best reviews so I decided to try it out.
Called to make an appointment and he was able to see me that day to sharpen my 4 pairs of shears!
The shop was easy to find and there is some parking in front and on the side. It’s a really neat one chair barber shop. With a bunch of neat older tools displayed. They also sell shears and clippers and all the accessories to go with.
It took about 45 min to do my shears so I just hung out there. Darryl was very helpful to myself and customers that came in to pick up/​purchase.
My shears now cut like butter. I’m so excited to use them. I will be back when I need them sharpened again!
Thank you Darryl!

Darryl and his expertise made our clippers better than they were out of the box!
My husband and I made an appointment with Darryl (this is a must… he will only accept you by appt. only) to have his T-​liners sharpened. My hubby uses these several times a week on his face and I use them once a week to cut his hair (so I know what we were working with prior to Darryl’s service). Trust me when I say, this is better than new. I am thoroughly impressed!
Darryl, thank you for doing what you do with such precision, professionalism and excellence.

I dropped my oster and wahl clippers off at 11:00am, came back at 2:00pm — they had been cleaned, conditioned and sharpen. GREAT service –I’LL BE BACK!!!

This establishment doesn’t need my two cents because as you can see from the other reviews, as the saying goes, it is «As Good As It Gets!»
I’m not a barber, I don’t cut hair on the side, I don’t have any affiliation with any cosmetology or barber school, nor beauty salon or barber shop. I do however like to save a dollar here and there, so I’ve been cutting my own hair for years now (well, ever since the jeri curl, hi-​top fade, gumby cut, shag-​style, etc. days).
I have one pair of clippers (Oster Model 606B with adjustable head) that are more than 34 years old. I know this because I had them before I moved to Los Angeles, which was 34 years ago. When I tried to look them up on the internet, the heading «Vintage hair clippers» came up (I was unable to locate them, even on Oster’s website). About 10 years ago I loaned them to a friend who dropped them and chipped one of the teeth on the head. This basically rendered them useless. About 2 years ago, I had a friend give me a haircut using my clippers (he was training to be a barber so I played guinea pig and let him use my clippers; I have 3 different type units), and that’s when he told me about a place I could take this particular unit to be repaired by a guy named Darryl (there was also a short in the cord).
When I took them there I was pleasantly surprised to find a one man barber shop with a nice ambiance and amenities; not like most of the barber shops you walk into these days and immediately feel a little apprehensive. A young lady helped me out, but when I went to pick them up, I had the pleasure to meet Darryl. He couldn’t contain his shock that the clippers were so old and said, «Well, they’re as good as new and should last you another 20 years.» When I told him I’d had them for more than 34, we both had a good laugh. That was about a year and a half ago and they are still in perfect working condition.
I’m now going to take my Wahl and my Andis T-​Edger clippers to Darryl for fixing and I know I’ll be more than happy with the results! If you have ANY issues with any pair of clippers you have, this is definitely the place to take them!

Much in the style of, «you don’t know what you have until you’ve lost it», as a cosmetology student I had yet to really feel like a stylist until I went to cut a guest’s hair and my shears. wouldn’t.close. What is more precious to someone who works with hair than their tools?
After a quick inspection I could see that my shears had a chink out of on one blade that was quickly creating a problem with the other blade. Damaged tools in any trade require an immediate fix, but no one at my institute had any recommendations that would solve my problem in less than a few days! Some companies want you to mail them in, and use your backup pair in the mean time…(what backup pair? This pair was $ 300!!)
My good friend Unilocal knew a guy who knew a guy. I was able to make an appointment to come in the same day, parked easily, walked in and handed over my shears. Daryl showed me the problem, explained how he would fix it, and 20 minutes and $ 20 later sent me out the door.
I am emotionally moved by how easy it was to get my problem fixed. THANK YOU SCISSOR CLINIC!

This place is awesome and I give them 5 stars. I’ve only been here twice but lord have mercy they will sharpen your clippers real well. I got my andis clippers and t outliners sharpened here and man I’m forever happy and will be coming back to them in the future. Darryl does a damn good job! You will not be disappointed, if you need your stuff sharpened come here!!! And yes it’s worth the drive:-D

This place is great!!! Daryl is strictly business and product he put out reflects that. I’ve NEVER heard of or seen a client dissatisfied with anything they’ve has done here. On the other side there’s Jay and I won’t get my haircut by anyone else. I’ve when I moved to the valley I came to Inglewood to get cut down and lined up. Thanks for everything you guys. You’re the perfect team

Wow, no reviews on this place?
WELL, allow me to fill you in on this place!
I do not know about the «Salon» (More like barber with an awesome old school chair sitting in there) BUT, I can comment on the service work they do.
I took (3) sets of clippers in for service /​sharpening. Picked them up several days later — and they were great!
I dropped off my Oster 76’s when I picked up my other clippers. They give a full service & sharpening — I am overly happy.
You can requests how sharp, adjustments, etc when you drop off your stuff. As you all know — everyone is different and do slightly different things with their equipment.
Total 5 stars for the service.
It is quite a drive from where I am at (San Pedro) — to get clippers serviced — But it is well worth the drive.
Everyone in the shop is very professional — and know what they are doing.
I totally recommend this place for all your service needs.
