How much can I earn as a Professional Sharpener after I am trained and equipped?

It depends on how hard a person wants to pursue their dream. The going rate for salon sharpening is $25.00 a scissor. A slow beginner can do a proper reconditioning of an expensive salon scissor in under fifteen minutes. This translates to $100 an hour without sales. Add scissors sales to your business call, and you can make some really serious money. There are several Sungold Group graduates making in excess of $100,000.00 dollars a year.
