The scissor-over-comb technique has been a trusted method by hairstylists and is a skill that needs to be mastered, especially in shorter haircuts. It offers precise control, removing weight while maintaining structure. At TopOne Richmond, every stylist in our team is trained to apply this technique with accuracy, shaping hair to follow its natural growth and texture. The result is a clean, balanced finish that holds its shape as it grows.
Key Elements of the Scissor-Over-Comb Technique
This technique involves using a comb to lift sections of hair, allowing the stylist to trim the hair held above the comb. It helps blend different lengths with smoother transitions, without the sharp, shaved effect usually produced by clippers.
How Our Stylists at TopOne Master This Technique
At TopOne Richmond, our stylists have mastered the scissor-over-comb technique through careful practice and attention to detail. We focus on body position, precise elevation, and intentional hair direction when using this technique so that every detail enhances the final look. The difference at TopOne lies in how we approach this technique –
Our stylists work with your natural growth and density, allowing us to remove bulk with precision.
Your hair texture and movement are always considered to maintain a shape that grows out well.
The final result will deliver balance and shape that does not compromise the style’s natural movement
