BASIC SCISSOR CUTTING - Short Messy Haircut - For Beginners

[@laurahupf1945]

I’ve been giving my husband of 40+ years haircuts for almost our whole marriage. He got decent cuts for special occasions. Today he got the best cut from me, due to your very clear tutorial. Thanks so much!

Because of quarantine my boyfriend has been BEGGING me to cut his hair and this video was awesome!

[@nomadbarber]

haha thanks

[@Trafikan2mixtapes]

Leave it to a barber

[@musicalcontessa4275]

My sister finished salon school, practiced and taught me everything she knows about cutting hair. This gentleman demonstrates the correct way to establish a guide and follow the cut and contour of the head. I am cutting male hair today---and panicked, searched for a refresher course. This is an excellent tutorial, as he cuts hair exactly as I was taught.

[@ivydonggl2]

My husband needed to get his hair cut for work tmr and by the time we had time to go to the barber, they were all closed. There's no way he goes to work with his hair that long so I came to KZbin and binged watched every bit of this video. I told him I'll cut his hair for him and he agreed. I followed the instructions religiously and we did it! His hair is good for work tmr and it actually looks better than some of the hair cuts he got previously from some random barbers. Thank you so much for sharing this video! 😊

Damn u want me to be my wife ? haha nice though

Can you cut my hair 💇🏻‍♂️?

[@gabvar82]

Finally! A decent ass barbering tutorial on KZbin! So many wack videos or barbers uploading short snippets in order to promote their DVDs. This basic demonstration is a damn good one for understanding length cutting with shears. Thanks Nomad Barber!

[@Margalrami]

It was giving me anxiety of how many times you kept combing that section over over again but great tutorial !!

[@joelmerari8729]

Maria Ramos oh man same

[@ykm257]

Maria Ramos ikr I think I counted 15

[@louis6680]

Agree

[@jesseb.8171]

When he was combing the first section, he combed it 15 times and THEN decided it was accurate enough for the first cut. Outrageous!

[@seisseisn6099]

Maria Ramos checked the comments just so as this comment I feel you !!!!

[@ericlopez6910]

Not sure how many Men's Haircut tutorials I've seen until I found this golden nugget! Great Video!

[@TimelordUK]

I absolutely adore how humble you are. You are so highly skilled and yet you have no ego, no swagger, no bling, no street talk, no attitude. You just get on with it.

[@HFZ916]

this is the best haircutting tutorial on KZbin..can you please do a tutorial on cutting the sides and back using scissors

[@talosq7982]

Just do it with a buzzer it’s worth the extra dollar

I just wanted to say a big thank you. I watched this video and the one using clippers before cutting my own hair yesterday. It went better than I ever imagined! Using scissors in front of a mirror was impossible so I used the clippers to cut the hair I trapped between my fingers. Tips for anyone who has to cut their own hair: - Set everything out beforehand (and make sure your clippers are fully charged - oops) - Ideally do it in a bathroom with somewhere you can sweep up the hair afterwards - Your t-shirt and socks are going to get hairy. Be prepared. - Put on some chill beats. At some point you will cut off more than expected and want to freak out. Relax dude. - Keep re-applying water if its hard to grip between your fingers - You have all the time in the world. You can always go shorter, but you can't go longer. Good luck.

[@Mr_Reb3llion]

Great tips :)

[@kazbrown5266]

Five months into my cosmo/barber training, this is my first "aha" moment watching a mens hair cut, thank you, please please please add more vids. I'm a brit living in the US, I love it when you say "me comb" it make me homesick haha!

The best scissor tutorial I can find. Thank you

[@mctron22rd]

This is awesome! I wanted to learn the basics of mens hair cuts and they used 3 or 4 different clippers! I just need to know how to do this myself for the boys in my family. I dont have the skills of a barber. Your tutorials wher very clear and I understood what you where saying. This covid 19 thing has our family barber closed, plus every other barber in town is closed to! I cant do lines and all the extra sets of clippers they have, they also went to school to learn how to do all of that. I have a pair of clippers and a pair of sharp scissors and that is it! You made it simple to learn your techniques. It is much better than trying to figure it all out. I thank you so very much for keeping it basic I appreciate you!

[@nomadbarber]

Thank you guys

[@simongb7897]

Due to this Covid crap I've been looking to cut my own hair I've scouted through about 10+ videos and this is the best of the lot. What is easy for a hairdresser is not easy for an amateur most of the tutorials on here are rushed but this really is step by step. I know one thing I now appreciate the skill involved to cut hair given that no 2 heads are the same. I've clippered the sides and most people at work think I've done a good job but now I'm not sure how to blend the top in with scissors.Ill give this a go.

[@ColdHawk]

Thanks for the great instruction! As a suggestion it might help if you wore a light colored shirt since it can be hard to see dark or wet hair against a dark background. Then you can use a wider array of angles. Nice video. Cheers!

[@BryuBhai]

Great man.. just keep the tutorials coming! The're so detailed just can't thank you enough for this

[@LoveTrisha]

I tried cutting my husband’s hair on my channel using this video. Haha. I did not do so well though but this was actually a great help for me. Thank you! ❤️

[@parpih91]

Man!! I started cutting hair to all my friends due to COVID. I like to think that I got relatively good at doing fades. BUT, I never felt confident at my work when cutting the scissors. I love your cutting technique, this will make me more confident with my scissor work. Excellent tutorial.

[@harrystylessaywhat]

man i wish you were my barber instructor when i was in school you have great techniques .. my instructors didnt do that great of a job showing the students.they could learn somethings from you

[@TimelordUK]

I was taught by young hipsters who thought they were cool. Wish I'd had this guy, he's amazing

[@angelicapasek5107]

I really want to learn more on cutting men's hair. You are a great teacher, learned a lot! Could you do a video on men with more curly/ textured hair? :)

you shape your fingers to the shape of his head, hold the hair with your index and use the middle finger for your cutting line based on you initial guide. Very well done and the clean part show you know what your doing as you go. Great Cut.

Thanks for the video. I'm doing an online course during the lockdown and I'm not finding the recommended tutorials explain what they're doing as well as you do. You break it down into smaller and more specific chunks. I need the specifics and the visuals as nothing is natural or obvious to me yet, so thank you👍🏼

[@xChAoSiNHeAvEn]

Well put tutorial and guided commentary, as well as a fresh cut!! 😎

[@joe_9093]

Quality video! Probably best tutorial I've found yet! Thanks 😎💇‍♂️

I don't cut hair, but I find these tutorials are fascinating. I guess I enjoy watching people who enjoy their work and are good at it.

[@agentp6621]

As a child (1990's) in the U.S.. I almost always received a scissor haircut. Even at places like Walmart. But even now as an adult I can't seem to find anyone who will cut hair with scissors. To me it's a relaxing experience.

I cut my brothers hair today. I have never really cut hair before, just buzz cuts. It came out well thanks to your videos. Thanks.

[@Dibdib35]

I have to say I have watched so many tutorials and they have been great but all from the US and they concentrate a lot on their fades. I am a complete novice and only cut my hubby’s hair and am probably a real barbers nightmare 🤣🤣. This has been the most detailed tutorial I have seen so far along with your previous one about clippers. So easy to understand and has reassured me I haven’t made a total mess of my haircuts but I’ve learnt sooooo much from these two. Thank you from Northern Ireland 😊

[@nomadbarber]

thanks so much for the feedback

[@steve998]

I would love to see you do a cut on someone who didn’t have such short hair on the sides already. I need to learn how to work down the sides and scissor and round the ear. I alway mess it up at the temple and ear area. You are such a good teacher, thanks.

[@struthers602]

Brilliant Video, I let my wife loose with the scissors this evening after showing her this video and very pleased with the results! Thanks.

I do love the way you teach and your calm manner. We are taught to always cut a profile line

[@itsjust._nalyn]

Stumble in your page and I really love how you teach its very helpful. My problem is once I get to temple area I'm lost (very heavy). After seeing your video seem easy, and I hope to try on my next client thank u so much!

thx for the tutorial man that helped me alot! this is, in my opinion, the best kind of haircut, a lil messy and uneven hairs on top is much more interesting than going over with a clipper... true artist man keep it up!

@thenomadbarber Hi can you make a video teaching haircut terminology?and the basics like what to have when you are starting to be a barber,from what i know not all barbers went to college some are self taught,so might do those self taughts a huge favour by teaching them what is needed to cut hair and the different techniques to be able to start practicing or cutting people's hair

[@elsea9621]

Thank you so much for this most excellent tutorial, wonderful work, looks fantastic!! 🌠

[@elizabethsprinz9683]

I would like to see in depth how to do scissor over comb. When does one start to leave the head and go up? How does one position the fingers to keep the cutting accurate? What does one look for when cutting? When using a clipper, how does one keep the comb still so when moving the clipper across the comb, the clipper does not move more into the hair and cut it too short? Thank you for your great techniques because, even though these things can be simple, one needs to do them because it keeps it simple and one gets a better result. So thank you for pointing these steps out.

omg! What's the issue. This is a tutorial on cutting hair. He's not dissing anyone, he's just showing his audience what he does and how he does it. Doesn't mean he's perfect and it's the only way that cutting hair should be done. I'm a hairstyling student and this tutorial explains more than what I got in school. It's gives me some great ideas on how to handle the tools and cut
