Artero EPIKA Thinning Scissors

Artero EPIKA thinning scissors in 6 and 7 inch sizes, with 30 or 38 teeth, offset handles and Japanese 440C steel; compare the coded models and specifications.

EPIKA pairs one toothed arm with a convex-backed cutting arm. The 6 inch version carries code T48360 and has 30 teeth; the 7 inch version is T48038 with 38 teeth. Select the full length and tooth combination, as these are two distinct configurations within the same range.

The semi-symmetric offset handles include a fixed finger rest. Japanese 440C steel is specified at 60 HRC ±1, and Spain is the stated country of origin. The source describes a black titanium coating; it does not give a removal percentage, so no cutting percentage is assigned to either size.

Technical details

Technical details identify this model and its stated configuration. Compare the code and measurements with the selected item before placing an order.

Selection and controlled use

Choose thinning scissors by the complete specification: length, tooth arrangement, handle layout and removal figure. The percentage is a published comparison figure, not a guaranteed result on every head of hair. Section size, hair type and technique affect the amount actually removed. Work gradually, comb the section and inspect the result before repeating a pass, particularly when comparing models with different removal ranges.

General care guidance

Remove hair residue after use and keep the tool clean and dry. Follow the instructions supplied with the scissors for cleaning, lubrication and tension adjustment. Do not apply one model’s adjustment procedure to a different mechanism. Handle the cutting edges carefully and store the scissors so that the teeth and blades are protected from knocks.

Choosing the model

Review the technical table and the selected code before ordering. If you need help comparing the handle arrangement or tooth configuration, contact Viva Cosmetics with the model code so the discussion refers to the correct scissors.
