Where this sits
In Alfa Italia's cutting scissors lineup the Alfa Italia MT Nero Precisione occupies the premium tier, priced between the Alfa Italia Sessione Rosa and the Alfa Italia MT Platino Precisione.
The Alfa Italia MT Nero Precisione is the mid-tier model in the MT Precisione line, priced at £360 and built in Japanese 440C steel with a convex edge. It comes in both offset and classic handle configurations. The offset handle positions the thumb lower relative to the fingers, reducing the degree of wrist rotation that builds up over back-to-back clients; the classic handle provides a more symmetric grip angle.
At 5 inches, the blade suits precision cutting tasks where fine control over the tip matters — point cutting, slide cutting, and scissor-over-comb work at shorter lengths. The convex edge runs smoothly through wet and dry hair without the drag that serrated or bevel-ground blades can introduce.
The MT Nero sits between the entry-level MT Rosa (£180) and the top-spec MT Platino (£600) within the same collection. All three models are available direct through alfaitaliapro.com. See the Alfa Italia brand page for the full range.
