Tapered Scissor Fade Haircut | With Unique Fluttering Shears Technique (ASMR Triggers)

Moustache Jim has been a barber in the Twin Cities for over 15 years and in that time he has developed a unique style of cutting hair that gives his clients a great result. While he is certainly capable of using a set of clippers or other trimmers, he prefers doing his work with shears, as it gives a softer look to his clients' hair.
In this video, Moustache Jim shares his fluttering shears technique to give his client, Zane, a tapered fade haircut. If you have never seen a fade done without scissors, we at Style Progress recommend taking a look at the haircut given by Moustache Jim and the results it produces.
This video can also fall under the category of ASMR. ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, is a phenomenon that uses tingle triggers to initiate a tingling sensation that can be described as brain tingles, head tingles, spine tingle, brain massage and even brain orgasm or head orgasm. There are many types of intentional ASMR including, but not limited to, soft spoken ASMR, whisper ASMR, gentile whisper ASMR, role playing ASMR. Unintentional ASMR is also popular, with categories like medical ASMR, chiropractic ASMR, massage ASMR, salon ASMR, shave ASMR, head massage ASMR, clinical ASMR, scalp massage ASMR, painting ASMR, cooking ASMR, eye exam ASMR, and instructional video ASMR.

[@MyChorizoSausage]

Wow, that is some next level barbering. To scissor over comb with such precision for over 20 minutes is crazy - using the same pair of scissors throughout as well!

[@aicarnie]

This was excellent. A perfect blended cut and style without a set of noisy clippers in sight. Jim has real skill with the scissors. I hope he does more of this kind of content. The intense concentration on Jim’s face was also fascinating. I love to watch dedicated professionals do quality work and Jim delivered that in spades.

Found this video a few days ago, and I’m watching it for the 3rd time already. Something with just a Scissor Cut is the best.

[@1946wade]

I've watched this video .... more than a hundred times . I still get the same enjoyment out of it ....as I did the first time ( other than for the back-ground noise , and Jim's talking ) . This has to be a back-breaking task .... for " mustache Jim " , to stay bent over like that while cutting . I assume he does not have a barbers chair .... that raises his client up to a level where he does not have to bend over ....?

I actually like that it gives the video a more natural feel, like “ASMR in the wild” as opposed to overly produced/artificial ASMR.

The correct grammar would be “that is an excellent barber”, have a nice day.

[@BlimeyGames]

Super relaxing to watch! That's some crazy hand-muscle control too. Out of curiosity, (if it's not rude to ask) how much would a cut like this go for? There's so much work put into it's obviously not the same as that $10-$15 buzz you can get down the street.

[@BassThumb88]

BlimeyGames I pay $20 down the street from my house at a traditional barber shop. It's a popular spot with the hipsters and the square folk alike. I also tip my barber generously on top of it because he goes out of his way to do a good job every time and he gives me free beer or a couple stiff fingers of whiskey whenever I'm waiting.

[@Styleprogress]

BlimeyGames This would cost you anywhere from $25-45 probably, depending on the city where you got it. If you got it done in a salon, you would probably get a shampoo to go along with it.

[@miasam9666]

Hey thanks for the relaxing vid, I have a question which is why don't you use the trimmer instead of the scissor to trim the hair on the sides and the back of the head? Whats the catch? Edit: You answered that at the end, nvm.

It takes alot of skill to do a all shear cut !

[@dianecandoflamtaps3688]

Matt Erwin Not really. But takes more time. In a busy shop this wouldn’t work. Most guys want to get in and out. Unless it’s a more time consuming cut. In reality, the clippers would have done the same, then fine tune near the end. If clippers were used, you can then spend a little more time with aftershave, powder to remove neck hair, and a few extras that will bring customers back again. This cut is very popular with young guys! Nice job! It’s not easy to do this cut with only shear over comb. 👍

Urban legend has it that Mustache Jim's doctor told him 19 years ago that he had a exotic illness which would end his existence unless he squeezed his right hand no less than 3000 times a day, after going home and thinking of his possibilities he thought "i know i'll become a shear only barber!" to which the people close to him reacted in disbelief and told him that he could not thrive in a clipper world. 19 years later, Jim (as he was only known back then) is showing signs of not slowing down anytime soon.

[@birdiges]

I would have slid off the chair, fast asleep.

[@dianecandoflamtaps3688]

I always recall learning that only the thumb moves with the shears, not both thumb and fingers. He chomps with both. Who knows of it really makes a difference or is it just technique you learn in school. Anyone?? I use only the thumb movement. I really don’t know if it makes any difference based on dozens of videos I’ve seen. Also, whether it matters to a customer whether the barber has a lot of conversation with customer or not, or silence and a great cut is fine. Any opinions?? I’m sure these guys know each other making this video.

I also wet the hair down before cutting. I guess it comes down to preference. It’s better for me when hair is wet. When my hair is cut I always request it wet than dry cut.
