Professional Opinion
One shear, three personalities. Choose 10 to 15 percent for finishing, 20 to 30 percent for general texture, or 40 to 50 percent when thick hair needs real reduction. The flat tooth runs through wet or dry hair without pulling.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
