At guide prices of $70 to $100, Atali covers the student end of Takano Canada’s shelf with three models, two cutters and a thinner, in 5.0 and 5.5 inch sizes.[1][3] The Japanese stainless line sits alongside Takano’s Fitz, Links, and Yasaka ranges, with the titanium-coated DC-50B a step above the plain stainless cutters; Elka Beauté also stocks some models.[2][4]
Takano’s catalogue highlights both everyday cutters and matching thinners. The KZ series covers 5.0- and 5.5-inch offsets with detachable finger rests, while the KZT-30 delivers a 30-tooth thinning profile for blended texture work.[1][3] At the top of the range, the DC-50B carries blue titanium-coated blades and an offset handle to provide a more premium feel without moving into Takano’s cobalt tier.[2][4]
- KZ-50 straight shear: 99 CAD, offset handle with permanent finger rest for general salon cutting.[1]
- KZT-30 thinner: 105 CAD, 30 teeth and matching handle geometry for smooth debulking passes.[3]
- DC-50B shear: titanium-coated 5.5-inch blades with offset ergonomics, priced at 139 CAD on Takano’s official store and US$232 through distributors.[2][4]
Atali sits within Takano Canada’s broader catalogue, so it shares the vendor’s accessory range and service options while staying in a training-friendly price band. Availability through retailers such as Elka Beauté adds another stocking channel for shops that prefer regional suppliers.[2][4]
