As a new Apprentice and Barber, it's always important to learn the fundamentals. In this video, Gio demonstrates how to properly execute the "Scissor over Comb" technique which is one of Barbering's most fundamental haircutting techniques.

The method is called "Scissor over Comb" because you are essentially holding your scissors in one hand, to simultaneously cut hair over the comb that is being held in your other hand. How much hair a Barber cuts off is all dependent on how close or far from the scalp the comb is held, meaning they can cut off a lot of hair the closer the comb is to the scalp, or much less hair if the comb is held further away.

When performed correctly, a Barber can do an entire haircut with just a pair of scissors and comb, which is how most haircuts had to be done before the invention on the electric clippers (or even before the invention on the manually handheld clippers).

We hope you enjoy the tutorial, and if you have any questions or comments, please share them with us below.

Peace & Love

Gio & MJ
