  • For most barbers scissor / shear work is most often what we're uncomfortable with. I always been decent but recently decided I wanted to improved my shear game. In this video I'll be showing you guys some of the basic scissor / shear techniques that have helped me be more consistent in the barber shop. Hopefully these will help you elevate your skill using your shears!

    One thing that helps me a lot when cutting the top is to use a mohawk section down the middle of the hair and then use that as a traveling guideline for the left and right side

    Been in the game 18 years and I still struggle with shear cutting. I kinda fake it til I make it but I must be doing something right because I haven't had any complaints. But being honest with myself I know I need to know what I'm doing. Said all that to say your video was awesome and helped me out tremendously. You break it down so smooth and you're an easy listen unlike other UA-camrs who are hella annoying. Keep up the great work!

    This is my favorite video that you’ve put out so far. Scissor over finger/ scissor over comb is an area I want to perfect as a barber. I want to be well rounded when cutting different types of hair. Starting with the basics. Thank you so much for breaking it down starting from the basics 💯🙏🏽 I’m definitely going to be watching this video numerous of times until I get it down packed

    As an experienced barber I still watch several instructional videos every day, not to necessarily learn something new but, mostly to stay fresh and to look for different techniques or ways of setting up your cutting strategy. There’s always potential for improvement and as an incredible nerd I want to know or, at least, touch upon everything that is hair. Just seeing how someone experienced in being busy and just knocking it out of the park does certain little thing like the pinky and ring finger support thing or scissor flip helps solidify or support something already put in place. Hearing and seeing it being pointed out as an advantage when it’s already something I’m doing does point to being on a solid path.
    With my rambling now concluded, I salute you Sean. Straight to the point, informative and useful.

However, and I don't want you to take it like I think I could do it better or like I'm hating, but I believe it would have been a little more helpful if you had shown the end results of each cut so that we could have seen exactly why you used the techniques you used and the benefits thereof. I just wanna say that I am a fan of what you do and I continue to learn and grow because of the direction and guidance I get from you. I am grateful for all you do

    at 3:00 mins another reason to only go to the second knuckle when using Scissor over finger is because there is full tension to that point where as the closer you get to the big knuckles on your hand the more the cut will be uneven.
