Where this sits
In Alfa Italia's cutting scissors lineup the Alfa Italia Sessione Rosa occupies the mid-range tier, priced below the Alfa Italia MT Mancino Precisione Left-Hand.
The Alfa Italia Sessione Rosa is the entry-level tier of the Sessione collection, priced at £180 and built in Japanese 440C steel with an offset handle and convex edge. It comes in two blade lengths: 5.5 inches and 6.5 inches, both sharing the same handle geometry and steel specification. A Soft Cut variant is also listed in the Sessione range.
The 5.5-inch suits close-range precision work — fringe trimming, point cutting, and scissor-over-comb on shorter hair. The 6.5-inch adds stroke length for over-comb cutting on longer sections or bulk removal work where covering more of the blade per cut is an advantage.
The Sessione line spans three tiers — Rosa, Nero, and Platino — with prices climbing from £180 to £600. All are sold direct through alfaitaliapro.com. See the Alfa Italia brand page for the complete range.
Features
- Japanese 440C steel for everyday cutting durability
