Professional Application & Operational Dynamics
The LT-65 is designed for the “Long-Shift” professional. The antler handle allows the stylist to hold the shears in a “Traditional” grip for standard blending, or shift to a “Crane” grip for vertical work on the legs, all while maintaining a natural wrist angle. This versatility is a lifesaver for stylists suffering from early-stage carpal tunnel syndrome. In “Luxury” salons, its high-mirror finish prevents hair from “sticking” through static electricity, keeping the workspace cleaner and the tool more efficient.
For distributors, the LT-65 is the “Problem Solver” for clients with unique hand shapes. Its antler handle accommodates a wider range of finger sizes and grip styles than standard handles, making it a “must-try” tool at industry trade shows. The precision teeth geometry is specifically tuned for “fine layering,” making it superior for the final fluff-out before a show.

Integrated Solutions for Professional Challenges
- Problem: Static Hair Clumping on Shears: The mirror-polished surface neutralizes static and allows hair to slide off.

- Problem: Inconsistent Finish on Layered Coats: Precision-aligned teeth ensure even hair removal for a perfectly smooth gradient.
