CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I was having a blunt day and my scissors were even worse, but to get a call from Michèle to check up on me and my scissors sharpened my outlook on the day. Her friendly, speedy service was rare and much appreciated, and since the return of my extended fingers along with a witty little plaster, Superior Edge has made my day and week! Thanks for putting a smile on my face and thanks for the “sharp” service you always bring. You’re a “cut” above the rest. It’s always a pleasure seeing your face.”
“Sublime service, backup pair and pizazz from Michèle.
I swear the energy transfers through the blades... My inner samurai projects and the magic of the Matsuzaki shears creates... Get yours!
You’ll be enthralled.”
