Rose Gold TiCN
Rose Gold TiCN
Quick look
- Surface profile: Warm metallic, low friction, high hardness.
- Best fits: Luxury-focused salons, bridal suites, social content sets.
- Care level: Moderate. Color layer rubs thin where thumbs rest.
- Ideal companions: Convex dry cutters, swivel shears, coordinated detailers.
Why it matters
Titanium carbonitride (TiCN) PVD adds carbon to the TiN recipe, shifting the color toward blush or copper while keeping the hard, slick performance. Stylists get the same easy glide and corrosion resistance as gold TiN with a warmer tone that photographs beautifully.
Shear pairing and compatibility
- 5.75 in convex blades pair the blush finish with surgical sharpness for dry detailing.
- Swivel or offset handles showcase the color while protecting wrists.
- Micro-serrated partners on opposing blades preserve the coating on the polished edge.
Technique map and services
- Bridal, red carpet, and influencer styling where luxe visuals count.
- Dry slide and channel work that benefits from low drag.
- Retail storytelling: display matching TiCN shears and texturizers in retail nooks.
Watch-outs and client care
- Color softens where fingers rest. Rotate finger inserts and keep hands clean of lightener.
- Ammonia-heavy cleaners dull the blush tone. Stick to mild soap and water.
- Manage expectations: the coating protects the steel, but chips still expose raw stainless.
Maintenance and pro tips
Clean promptly after chemical services, rinse, dry, and oil pivots. Avoid abrasive cloths or ultrasonic cleaners. During sharpening, note the TiCN finish so the technician uses light pressure and cool stones to preserve the color gradient.
