Cutting Technique Hub

Choose the technique you are working on

Slide cutting. Start with the advanced cutting guide for hand movement and section control. The convex edge guide explains the blade shape often used for a drawing cut.

Point cutting. Use the same technique guide for tip work, then compare shorter cutter lengths in the buyers guide. The size that feels controlled in your hand matters more than a model name.

Scissor-over-comb. Review the comb-work section in the advanced guide, then browse cutting shears by length and handle. A longer blade changes reach; practise with the pair you actually use.

Texturising. The thinning and texturising guide explains the difference between cutter work and a toothed shear. Try a small section before committing to a removal pattern.

Build a useful routine

Work on one movement at a time, note what feels comfortable and revisit the maintenance guide when the shears begin to pull. For hand position and breaks, the stylist wellness guide brings the practical points together.
