Italian term

forbici dentate

Italian to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty Hairdressing
this is an instrument used in hairdressing, apparantly using this causes microfractures in the hair root. I assume its English equivalent would be "serrated scissors" but that's just a guess.

I looked at hairdressing scissors on Google and these came up - I think they may be what is meant by forbici dentate. Good Luck!!
