The technique
Cut to how your hair falls
A scissor cut is built with scissor-over-comb work rather than clippers and guards. That's what gives it a soft, natural shape with no hard guard lines around the sides and back. Instead of setting a fixed length, the barber lifts sections with a comb and cuts to how the hair naturally sits.
It's the right approach for longer tops, textured crops, side parts, and gentleman's cuts — anywhere you want length and movement kept in your control. Ivan and Michael read your growth pattern and remove weight where it's needed, so the finish looks like it belongs to your head, not to a guard number.
Scissor or fade?
Which one fits your hair
A scissor or classic cut fits best when you want more length, softer edges, or you're growing your hair out and want it shaped rather than cut back hard. It keeps a natural silhouette that grows out gracefully between visits.
Want the best of both? You can pair a scissor-cut top with a light taper on the sides for a little more definition without going all the way to the skin. If you're after tight, blended sides instead, take a look at fades & tapers — either way, tell your barber the look you're going for and they'll build it.
Quick answers
Scissor & classic cuts, answered
A scissor cut shapes the hair with shears and comb instead of clippers and guards. The result is a soft, natural finish with no hard guard lines — ideal for longer tops, textured crops, and classic gentleman's styles.
Choose a scissor or classic cut when you want more length, softer edges, or you're growing your hair out. Choose a fade when you want tight, clipper-cut sides that blend down to the skin — and know you can combine a scissor top with a light taper if you want both.
Scissor work handles thick and curly hair well because the barber cuts to how the hair actually falls and removes weight where it's needed. That keeps volume under control without flattening your natural texture.
Most classic and scissor cuts hold their shape for four to six weeks. Because they don't rely on sharp guard lines, they tend to grow out more gracefully than a tight fade, so you can stretch the time between visits a little longer.
