How Activation Works

Sharpening is a part of every Activation.

Every Activation includes professional inspection, maintenance, adjustment, and sharpening of the shears you send in.

How It Works

One Order. Zero Downtime.

Sharpening isn’t a separate order — it’s built into every SAB Activation. You get a Workhorse shear shipped to you first, so you’re never without a working tool while yours are in our hands.

  1. Activation

    Your Zero Downtime Activation begins here.

  2. Working Tool Shipped

    Workhorse ships out — before yours arrive.

  3. Awaiting Your Dulls

    Once your Workhorse arrives, use the included prepaid return kit and have your package accepted by the carrier within 21 days.

  4. Sharpening In Progress

    Professionally serviced using precision flat-hone equipment, appropriate abrasives, and a process selected for the shear's edge and condition.

  5. Returned Sharp

    Professionally restored, adjusted, inspected, and returned ready for work.

Workhorse PRV-70 shear

Most eligible shears are serviced and shipped back within 3–7 business days after arriving at SAB. Shipping transit time is separate.

High End & Premium Shears

Precision service for professional barber and stylist shears built with premium steels and advanced edge geometry.

SAB Activation
  • Beveled & Convex Shears

    Honed for effortless, resistance-free cutting.

  • Thinning & Texturizing Shears

    Precision work on every tooth, for clean blending.

Your shears are only as good as their edge. We restore that edge so your technique shows, not your tools.

Professional Tools Only

SAB services eligible professional barber and stylist shears. Tools that are unsafe, excessively worn, rusted, cracked, improperly altered, missing essential components, or beyond responsible restoration may be declined.

Activate

Never work with dull shears again.
