WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
See how local groomers, stylists, barbers, and chefs describe the difference after a pro sharpening. Smoother passes, fewer reworks, and service that respects their schedule.
Excellent service. Evan is a great communicator and took his time to show me how to maintain my knives between formal sharpening. I would absolutely work with him again.
Danielle B
Stopped by to see Evan at Dorey Park Farmers Market today because I needed my hair shears sharpened. He was super friendly and even offered to clean the rust off of them too! Excellent service all around. I highly recommend Stay Sharp
Lindsay K
I was very pleased with Evan's work, and plan on having him do more. He sharpened my paring knives particularly well - I use them constantly and need them sharp as can be. He also did a few of my lawn tools which were in dire need of sharpening!
