Professional Opinion
A detail-oriented scissor for stylists who like a traditional, non-offset grip. The narrow blades get in close around ears and necklines without the bulk of a wider blade, and ATS-314 cobalt steel keeps that fine edge working well. Four sizes from 5.0 to 6.5 inches let you match it to your hand.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
