Damn man this is an excellent tutorial, its surprisingly difficult to get good info on this. Lifting of the hair around the ears with the scissors along with only cutting hair on the spine has given me a eureka moment lol. Thanks a lot sir, if I ever meet you I’ll buy you a pint haha. (Im Irish so you know….)

One of greatest lessons about Scissor Over Comb basics
Amazing technique! True artistry in your barbering! Scissor over comb yields such a natural look. I am so done with discount haircut salons that just butcher my hair with clippers! The texture of my hair makes the haircut grow out like crap leaving tons of hard lines and demarcations. Next time I get a cut, I am requesting scissor over comb! And if the hairstylist insists on using clippers they are not touching my hair!
Thank i did it on my self it gone nice thank.. I can too scissor with me fingers on my hair it supr
Excellent!
great video, thanks for sharing your technique
