Professional Opinion
Long cutting sessions are the Microlight's reason for being. The lightweight build takes strain off the hand and wrist across a full day, and the offset grip with a removable finger rest keeps things comfortable. At 5.5 and 6.0 inches it covers general salon cutting with ease.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
