Do not use a knife sharpener for scissors as suggested. Sharpening scissors is not like a knife. With scissors it is the flatness of the blades that is most important. To be properly sharpened the blades need to be separated and the flat sides sanded or polished flat. Then the bevel is ground. I can only guess since I don’t have any scissors worth sharpening, most of us just buy the cheap disposable kind. But they guy I go to charged $6 for a pair of garden shears.

Sometimes it can be done for free at the butcher/meats section of a grocery store. A store I used to live near had a little sign that said "Free knife-sharpening" and I asked if they also would do scissors and they said yes. So ask the butcher at your local grocery store and see what he says.

you can buy a ceramic rod and a guide and you run the scissors up and down the rod on a given angle and their like brand new
