How To Tell You're Getting a Cheap Haircut

I've gotten a lot of haircuts with a lot of different people in my life so I thought I'd do a little public service announcement.

THINNING SCISSORS
If the stylist uses thinning scissors on the top of your head, find someone new. On the sides and back it's acceptable, but good hairdressers will not use them.

The best way to texturize is using a technique called "shearing". A line of hair is combed up, and using SCISSORS, triangle-like snips are made on slight bias.

The most difficult part is where short hair from the sides meets the top. This place tends to create sharp edges, so you either cut it really short or some time has to be spent evening it out. If your stylist struggles here you know he doesn't know how to cut men's hair very well. Thinning scissors are acceptable here, but of course, it's still cheating.

The price usually tells you if you getting a cheap haircut. You can't really say the use of thinning scissors on the top of the your = cheap, albeit techniques might differ but it depends on the barber.
My right arm is much stronger than my left arm!

This reminds of the late 1990s and early 2000s of Korean teenagers' hair cut.

You're right, there are some different techniques, but shearing is the most popular accepted method right now. For example one style is to use a razor, twist the hair and chop.

But thinning scissors (Which are actually also called shears/shearing scissors) are bad. It is cheating and results in cheap haircuts.

Not necessarily. I think shears are almost necessary for long, thick hair, unless you want a 2 hour hair cut.

But shears for short hair? I would have gone all-out MC Hammer on the stylist as soon as i saw that.
