A Tour of Empire's Kennesaw School
www.empire.edu Are you living in the Kennesaw, GA area and wondering what the choices are for local beauty schools? Did you know that there's an Empire Beauty School campus right in your backyard? Come take a virtual tour with Samuel and check out what we have to offer. Our first stop is the front desk. This is where we book all of our incoming clients and where we answer any calls. We have just organized a chart with all of today's clients matched up with some of our students who are working on the salon floor. Next to the front desk is our retail station. We sell all of the products we use on the salon to our clients so they can use the items at home. Everything you can find on the salon floor, you can buy right here. Right now, our 360 students are practicing on the floor with mannequin heads, perfecting their styling techniques. Laquita is having a great time. She says that Empire has really helped her sharpen her skills. Jasmine is checking that all students have what they need and retrieves any products if necessary. Our next stop is the core classroom. The students are working on hair cutting. One student is working on an angle cut, while another works on the 180 cut. At Empire, we have great educators so you'll learn quickly, just like these students. In our senior classroom, students are learning about business management.

I wanted to show in general is done to sharpen a convex shear. When I first got started in this I found it difficult to visualize. I wanted to give an idea of how a convex shear is sharpened. If a person knows certian things like how to do the ride line with the right pressure and sharpening the convex edge they can successfully restore a scissor. When I sharpen professionally I use a electric sharpener of my own design which I may in the future put on. Most sharpeners use a electric sharpeners. Some of sharpeners actually harm shears. Most all sharpeners still use a stone to do the ride lines. Probably the original Japanese originators of the convex scissors just used a stone as I show in this video. This is a convex edge hair scissor that all hair stylists use. Most house scissors and fabric scissors are beveled edge scissors and are sharpened much differently. Convexed scissors are just for cutting hair. Can you now sharpen a pair of hair scissors as a result of ...
