This is EXACTLY what I needed. My husband has ALS, and I have been trying to cut his hair while he is in his wheelchair. This will help me to feel more confident. Thank you!

As an older apprentice barber I really love your videos. The animations and highlights on things like weight lines and sections really helps! So glad I found this Channel!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you very much and welcome!

[@GrowingDownUnder]

I was surprised when I walked into the barbers and asked if anyone could do a scissor cut and not a single barber in the shop knew how to use scissors so they said sorry we don't know how to do scissor cuts. So I had to go to a different barber and only 1 girl in the other barber shop knew how to use scissors because she worked as a hairdresser and she still did a terrible job.

[@theoneminutebarber]

They will get left behind if they don’t level up the skills they have

[@neiljudebedro4909]

I'm just a ordinary guy. Who knew a sccissor cut. And take to another different level

[@StillPooh62]

During the lockdown I learned to scissor cut my husband's hair by watching this channel. I've gotten so good at it that he still has me cutting his hair, even though shops are all open again. 😎

[@-chris-]

@@theoneminutebarber I think you mean “fade into oblivion”…😂 But on a serious note, haircuts seem to be shifting from clipper fading skills only, back to highly skilled scissor work. I’ve noticed a big difference since I started using scissors on the top of my head, instead of an 8 or 10 guard.

Thank you 🙏

[@1jackvalley580]

You explain everything very well, and it's extremely important so we can learn to use the scissors ✂️ properly. In the U.S. there are still some people who like a good scissor cut, but it's not a common thing. I think a scissor over comb cut is a very handsome cut with very well defined layers, and you teach it so well. I agree that it's important at some point to own a pair of great scissors. Thanks for being such a great teacher and it is NOT BORING, and I am determined to get as good at it as you are. Cheers✂️🙏

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Jack. I think I prefer cutting with scissors too. It give so much more control. You can easily cut hair the same way I use it’s just practice and repetition.

[@annaspreitzer8180]

Thank you so much for this video, I just cut my boyfriends hair for the first time using this video and he loved his hair cut. He never likes his haircuts ever because they always mess up the front and this video is 100% why he loves his haircut so much

Mudah untuk dipahami

[@ZZ-bt2jr]

Do you ever use this method on shorter hair (that wants to stand straight out) ? Or do you just transition to tension cutting for those types? I have several grey clients who like it very short, and I struggle with this method because their hair is either so lightweight or wiry it's difficult to do this technique with it being short. I'm wondering if perseverance will pay off or if I should just continue do tension cutting for them.

[@theoneminutebarber]

If it’s too short for this technique I recommend clippers. Like you say it can be messy looking if it’s too short, that’s exactly what I find. So go with clippers.

[@hannahclark2413]

These scissors cuts have helped me a lot thanks , are you based near Aberdeen?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Yes I’m in Aberdeen

[@user-tu9bn4gf9n]

Thank a thes

[@erikak4443]

Thanks for the videos, I started to cut my husband's hair watching your videos , still I can not get the left side the way that I would like, almost seems like the hair does not lay down, maybe I'm cutting it to short, I tried to follow the same length all around the head except for the top, next time I'm thinking not to cut that section. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you. When it comes to the hair at the side, it's rare that it is symmetrical on anyones head. If you look closely at everyone you can see it. All you can do is try your best to achieve the best symmetry

[@wam0357]

in the scissor over comb, how do you feel confident that you're taking off the same length at each turn of the comb? I dont know if i am the same distance from the head at the start of each section.

[@theoneminutebarber]

If you have a constant distance from the head you are copying the shape of the skull on the ends of the hair. It is called a uniform layer. I tend to adapt to make something more natural. Cutting hair without tension gives you that kind of artistic license

[@KevininSC]

QUESTION: would this cut look the same if you used clippers (layerd look)? Thanks Pro.

[@theoneminutebarber]

perhaps using clipper over comb, but it would be a lot more uniform if you used a clipper with guard

very qood

[@limabravo0001]

35+ years master barber here. Ive watched a few of your videos on scissor over comb cuts. I've noticed you aren't cross checking vertically in the back. You're also not texturing the hair around the crown which would make the hair look and feel less heavy. Jussayin'.

[@theoneminutebarber]

I occasionally include cross section information in my videos. In this video I never. Can’t say why, I must have been happy with the cut during the blow dry. Re texturing the crown, I’ve never textured a crown but that’s not to say I wouldn’t, I would if I had that knowledge.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Btw congrats on 35years in the industry that’s some tour of duty 🙌

[@bilsrky8612]

Texturing crown is something I have first time heard about! I got the impression that you are bollocks mate! He is done a good job!

[@terrycurry7682]

Can you use a liter comb on this haircut so that this old man can see the guide. Great haircut

[@theoneminutebarber]

I will I’ve been using red, white and purple combs in more recent videos

[@nikkiprincess5453]

Why do you over comb from top to bottom and not the other way ?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Hey Nikki, I can’t believe you asked me that because I was actually going to talk about that in the video and now realise I never😂 I work from the top down because I don’t want the weight from the section above laying on top of the section I’m trying to cut. If I work from the top down I only have the section and hair I want to cut as nothing laying on top. Does that make sense?

[@ZZ-bt2jr]

How long are these shears? Excellent work as always

These are 7” Columbus scissors from quartered steels

I tried to do this on my boyfriend but it ended up looking choppy after I did the up and down scissor comb thing 😅 How do I keep it from not looking choppy?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Firstly well done for trying. The best thing to do is keep your sections really small. So you can always see your guide. And leave enough length that it flows a little. If it’s too short it’s better to use the clipper as scissor work on very short hair can look choppy.
