Professional Opinion
Priced for students and first kits, the Eco keeps things simple: stainless steel, an offset handle, and a convex edge at 5.5 inches. A sensible starter shear that lets new stylists learn proper technique on a proper tool.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
