Scissors Vs. Clippers in Male Haircuts

Hi this is Vic Sosikian with Mark Matthew Fine Gentleman's Grooming Club in Studio City on behalf of Expert Village. IN this clip we are going to talk about haircuts as a part of a men's part of grooming regiment. It is really important that you make sure that you have a good place to go to for good haircuts. While clippers do get the job done the scissors would be able to give you a more precision haircut and be able to better enhancer to the grooves, bumps and the scalp on the head. It is very important that barbers and styles use primarily scissors on your haircut. The reason for that is every scalp, every head has different grooves, has different bumps and curves and sometimes the clippers are not able to get into the right place. Basically you can't enhance to all the bumps and the curves. A scissor on the other hand held by professional barber or styles would be able to work around every scalp, every lump in the head and make sure you have the best possible haircut.
