Description
This subclass encompasses hand-held and stationary equipment used for personal grooming and cosmetic treatments, including hairdressing implements (scissors, combs, brushes, hair clippers), shaving apparatus (razors, shavers, stropping devices), and cosmetic application tools for manicuring, pedicuring, and facial treatments. The classification covers both manual and powered devices designed to modify, style, or maintain hair, skin, and nails, as well as accessories and storage solutions for such equipment. Related mechanical or electrical components that function as integral parts of these devices fall within this scope, while purely pharmaceutical or chemical cosmetic formulations are classified elsewhere under preparation-specific codes.
