What are the best Atali scissors?
The KZ-50 (US$70) is the entry cutter with an offset handle and detachable finger rest. The KZT-30 (US$75) is the matching 30-tooth thinner. The DC-50B (US$100) adds a blue titanium coating and offset ergonomics for a more premium feel within the budget range.
Atali targets hairdressing students and newly qualified stylists. The KZ series uses Japanese stainless with an offset handle and removable finger rest. The DC-50B steps up with a titanium finish while keeping the same blade geometry. All three are available through Takano Canada and some Elka Beauté stockists.
