Each one of us needs a haircut and mostly we visit a salon to get a new hairdo. While cutting hair, some stylists use professional hair shears while some use clippers.

Hair shears and clippers are a good tool to cut hair. Haircutting is fast while working with clippers and stylists use them when a client wants a simple haircut. However, when a new style has to be achieved, haircutting scissors prove to be more helpful.

The primary reason why stylists love using haircutting scissors is because it allows them more flexibility to cut hair in tight places. Hair shears also allows more dynamic range of motion and cutting angles which is not possible with clippers.

One of the common misconceptions amongst many of us is that clippers can’t be used to cut women’s hair. However, this is not the case. Just like hair shears, clippers too can be used to cut hair for men as well as women.

Ivan Zoot, popularly known as the Clipper guy had shown women’s haircut using clippers when he was featured on ScissorBoy’s online cosmetology program. Ivan had shown how a stylist can use various clipper adjustments to achieve different styles while working on different hair textures.

Haircutting scissors are still widely used by stylists for various barbering actions. The availability of different scissors like Thinning shears, Lefty scissors, Yoko scissors, etc. makes them popular over clippers. Each of these scissors is used for specific actions, like Thinning shears are used for reducing the volume.

In the end, a client would always want to feel happy about his style while stepping out of the salon. To ensure a happy client, stylists have to make sure that they use only good quality haircutting scissors or clippers and use them intelligently to achieve a desired style for the client.
