Professional Opinion
Nickel-free construction is the reason to look at this one if you react to standard scissors. The slim 5 inch blades suit smaller hands and general salon cutting, with Japanese steel, a slightly offset handle, and a metal tension wheel for easy adjustment.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
