Professional Opinion
A true left-handed build, not a flipped righty, so the blades meet the way a left-hander actually cuts. The convex edge and left-hand offset handle come in 5.5 and 6.0-inch sizes, covering everyday salon work for left-handed stylists.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
