A Much Different Approach To Men’s Haircutting In 2020
When most of us think about how to approach a man’s haircut we immediately think of using a clipper high and tight. The best men’s short haircuts 2020 take a bit of a different way of cutting the hair.
Traditional cosmetology and barbering schools teach clipper cutting as the foundation of cutting a man’s short haircut. This is the American way of cutting hair today.
Schools like Paul Mitchell have taught this method for years. English UK hairdressing schools like Vidal Sassoon teach a method of scissor over comb.
Although both methods of cutting a man’s short haircut are valid with today’s men’s short hairstyles we will be setting the clippers aside.
Scissor Over Comb VS Clipper Cutting
As I spoke before scissors over comb and clipper cutting are both appropriate ways we can cut men’s hair.
So what are the main differences and outcomes you will get when choosing one method over the other?
- Clipper Cutting requires the use of specific guard attachments that determine the length of the hair when cut. You are able to blend and fade the hair using the different size attachment guards. Using guards with clippers gives a very clean structured short haircut.
- Scissor Over Comb is a much different method of cutting men’s hair. A visual freestyle way of blending and cutting using nothing more than a scissor, comb, and your eyes. A much softer blended outcome to cutting hair short sides.
Best Way To Cut A Man’s Short Haircut
So to expand on the difference between each way of approaching a man’s haircut when might you choose one way over the other?
If a client wants a traditional fade where a more structured hairline is desired you may want to use a tool like the Babyliss Pro Cordless Clipper.
But let’s say your client wants a textured crop but with more of a lived-in look.
Try using the scissor over comb method of cutting the hair. You can utilize the tips of the scissor to emphasize the textured style.
Something I will clarify before I move on and share inspiration for men’s short haircuts.
When using the scissor over comb method you are still able to fade hair on a very short level using a YS Park #234ex Extra Fine comb.
The main difference when choosing scissors over comb and clippers is the grow out.
A scissor haircut will always grow out more naturally and you can usually extend a men’s haircut by 2 extra weeks.
Typically you can charge a bit more for a customized scissor over comb haircut.
