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 TH-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
Your absolutely right Sean 😂Of course after so long of doing hair you don’t cut as often passed the second knuckle… I have so many scars 😂 😂 I need to get a second pair of shears(the ones I own as of now are 5.5” , it’s going to take some getting used to(6”-6.5”) but it’ll work out.Sean thank you for taking the time to show us!
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.
Oh man i have always trouble here from germany to order something i wanted to buy a couple fresh shears but i have to pay 90 euro for dispatch .. is there any other way to get this shears without having this costs? Greetings my Brother✊🏼
Great tutorial not many shear tutorials out there for barbers on TH-cam. Just want to add Keeping constant even tension when holding each section before cutting is key.
wow what a great video! very clear and bonus cuts was very helpful. would this change at all if you plan to cut your own hair? switch hands or anything?
@Seancutshair most definitely, is it normal for my fingers to gas out in the beginning or maybe my technique is bad, in terms of squeezing and holding hair before cutting?
Bro I appreciate the video and I definitely see the value. 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
I don’t do much scissor over comb. Of course I can but I like using techniques that leave little room for error. I feel scissor over comb is one of the most “risky” techniques and can mess up a nice finished haircut
You won't regret it! I thought I was going to have break the bank to get some new shears but I bought my first pair of Fresh shears about 1 1/2 months ago and my second pair about 3 weeks ago and they're great
@@Zombub glad to hear that yeah I was looking into sharkfins and hanzos but I didn’t want to drop that much on a pair of shears and most people have said the hanzos are over rated so wanted to find something a little cheaper but gets the job done glad to hear this!
In cosmetology you always palm your sheers. State Board "loves" it when you don't. (I'm studying for my exam to be reinstated after a career break.) *loves to take points off your score.
Once again, thank you so much! Can you drop an undercut scissor work guide? I think the sectioning and scissor work on an undercut makes a huge difference, and I want to improve on them
Loved this I struggle with straight hair cuts and shear work . My one suggestion is show in dep your finger position when u scoop sections . Other than that perfect video
I appreciate the heads up on previous videos and this one about the fresh shears got my makai 7" swivels last week. I love them great quality cut really clean. Thanks again bro.
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.
You also lose tension past the second knuckle, so your guidelines begin to lose that straightness because you’re not gripping the hair as tightly Btw a great idea for a future video should be about sectioning hair

Good video Sean, very informative. I've never mastered holding the scissors out of the way with the pinky. Might try it today.
Do it for one day and it will become second nature

@@Seancutshair po
What barber school did you go to , im in Kentucky not sure what route to take and if there is anymore classes or anything to help me learn
I went in bowling green but that schools is closed
How do I get tickets to see you in Tampa? Love the great educational videos. Thanks so much
I’m not in Tampa, I’m in Kentucky. May do a class down there at some point. Just keep an eye out on here 👍🏻
Awesome video bro thank you for sharing for us beginners. 👍
Welcome!!!
Can you do a cut for an older thinning hair cut? Please using your scissor talent.
If I get a client I will 👌🏻
Hey Sean what’s your opinion about flat top? For short hair
Haven’t done a flat top since barber school
You always present your skills at a very easy level. Appreciate you. I have learned so much from you that I feel I owe you my pay check.
Send it over 🤣
☠️😂
Great video...
Thank you!
You also don't go past second knuckle so you don't lose tension
💯💯💯
You should use bright colored gloves for contrast
I just don’t wear gloves anymore
wow what a great video! very clear and bonus cuts was very helpful. would this change at all if you plan to cut your own hair? switch hands or anything?
It would still operate the same just more difficult on yourself! 😝

How do i subscribe to your channel? 🤔
Click the subscribe button under the video!
Would you recommend a 5.5" or 6" scissor for doing your own hair with these styles?
Thanks for sharing. Awesome video and great information and step by step tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
I never see you doing scissors over comb honestly..
I don’t do much scissor over comb. Of course I can but I like using techniques that leave little room for error. I feel scissor over comb is one of the most “risky” techniques and can mess up a nice finished haircut
Wow this super helpful thanks ! So no vertical sectioning for the point cut hair cut ?
Can you do a video with a traveling guide?
I got a good one coming that shows it well!
As Beam would say, I'm locked in and focused. This information is soooo VITAL to my development.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
im starting my barber journey this relly helps thank you

What's your favorite cutting comb?
Ys park 336
@@Seancutshair I respek that. You use the carbon one?
In cosmetology you always palm your sheers. State Board "loves" it when you don't. (I'm studying for my exam to be reinstated after a career break.)
*loves to take points off your score.
Ouch. That dang state board
On the first haircut how do you connect the sides and back?
why don't you use ys park 339 instead?
Very helpful. FINALLY!! Lol. Also when are those hoodies coming back?? 🔥🔥
I don’t think they are! Waiting to come up with a new design
Let’s not stab the mommas 😂😅
😂😂😂
For the first, finger length haircut, would that be the same outcome as if you ran a longer guard on a clipper?
Somewhat but even an 8 guard seems pretty dang short
Thank you for the point cutting method it makes using my shears so much easier
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hey brother I watch your content closely can you make a shear over comb blending video or do you already have one?
I don’t do much shear over comb but if I can I’ll try and record something
I appreciate the detailed information!!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Can you make a in depth video of clipper over comb bro? Specifically on erasing that bulk line in straight hair
I will see what I can do. I really don’t do a lot of clipper over comb
Thank you
You're welcome
I love watching your videos cause the hair cuts you do I get at sports clips and they want there hair right so thank so much
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Once again, thank you so much! Can you drop an undercut scissor work guide? I think the sectioning and scissor work on an undercut makes a huge difference, and I want to improve on them

omg. as a cosmetologist, I just don't get mens cutting but this I get!
Good!
learned a lot today about sheer technique… I dig spot cutting

Could you do a video explaining longer hair styles and how to connect them to the sides
I did a couple recently. Will do all the scissor work videos I can in the future!
Which ys park comb is that ?
336

super helpful! how far back do you go? to the crown?
Yes to the length that lays on top. Any of the crown that goes down to the sides you handle with the sides
SHEARS ARE USED IN A GARDEN! SCISSORS are used in a barbers! Fact.
Actually the terminology just depends on where you live. US says shears, UK says scissors
no
I've been cutting for 20 years and still can't get it correct but im fundamentally pretty intelligent. What's wrong with me?
I don’t know! 😜 come take a 1 on 1 with me and we’ll figure it out!
@@Seancutshair I'll see if I can visit you up there sometime. Things are difficult now. Thanks for what you do.

Do you do the fade first then shear work?
Depends. Sometimes I do the top first
is the extended version gonna be on the academy?
No this is it for now. I can do more scissor work on the academy though
6:58 don’t u make it match the low points
Yes you take off the high points
