The Persnickety

Indispensable for professionals and autodidacts, this long-stemmed comb enables to separate hair strands with great precision. It can trace the lines impeccably to magnify them and help draw braids. As its name suggest, The Persnickety brings order to long but structured hairstyles. Its slightly angular shape will delight aesthetes and other lovers of beautiful things.This comb of the Officine will masterfully coax straight hair. Its fine and straight teeth make disentangling the hair smoother. It is available in three shades: amber yellow, ivory or tortoiseshell. Good-sized, this comb still easily slips into a bag.This comb is handcrafted in Switzerland by one of the last manufacturers in Europe. Cut from a block of very high quality acetate, it is shaped, sculpted and then polished. The teeth and notches are especially arranged so as not to injure the hair. A plant fibre, the acetate reveals a unique pattern specific to each comb. This luxurious object is stored in our famous velvet pouches to be transported safely. “Colin was finishing toileting. His amber comb divided the silky mass into long orange streaks like the furrows that the cheerful ploughman traces with a fork in apricot jam.”Boris Vian, The Froth of days
