What is a scissor cut?
Clippers are fast, but scissors give more control over weight and movement — especially for hair longer than a couple of inches. A full scissor cut lets your barber shape the hair to fall naturally rather than sit in a defined line.
This is the cut to ask for if you want a classic gentleman's style, a longer side part or a cut that looks good even when you don't style it.
