Professional Opinion
Proper left-handed mechanics at a salon-friendly price. Fully reversed blades in Stainless Alloy with a traditional handle, in 5.0 and 5.5 inch sizes. A southpaw stylist's everyday pair, and a smart thing for a salon to keep on hand.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot after use
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
- Ensure sharpener is comfortable with left-handed blade geometry
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Joewell LC LEFTY a true left-handed scissor?
Yes. The blade configuration is fully reversed so the upper blade is on the correct side for left-handed cutting. This is genuine left-handed construction, not a right-handed scissor with flipped handles.
Can a right-handed person use the Joewell LC LEFTY?
No. True left-handed scissors have reversed blades that will not cut properly in a right hand. Right-handed stylists should choose from the standard Joewell range.
