Professional Opinion
At 6.3 inches, the Arabesque IS splits the difference between barbering reach and salon manoeuvrability. It suits stylists who move between the two, giving more control over-comb than a full-length shear, with a convex edge and the Arabesque handle motif.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
