What’s a Scissor-Only Cut — and Is It Worth It?

(Scissor Cut Auckland | Premium Barber | Hava and Co, 1 High Street)
If you’ve ever sat in a barber’s chair and felt like it was over before it even began, chances are you’ve had a clipper job. Fast? Sure. But when it comes to shape, texture, and longevity, the scissor-only cut is an entirely different experience.
At Hava and Co, we specialise in premium scissor work — the kind that’s tailored, not templated. But what exactly does a scissor-only cut involve? And is it worth the investment?
Let’s break it down.



What Is a Scissor-Only Haircut?
A scissor-only haircut is exactly what it sounds like: no clippers, no shortcuts. It’s a meticulous technique where the entire cut is crafted by hand using scissors — section by section, strand by strand.
This isn’t your 15-minute fade. It’s a precision service often booked by clients who want:

• More control over shape and volume
• ​A softer, more natural finish
• Longer styles that grow out gracefully
• A tailored result based on their face shape, lifestyle, and hair type
• 
  

Who’s It For?
Scissor-only cuts are ideal for:

• Professionals who need a tidy but non-generic look
• Clients with wavy, curly, or thick hair
• Anyone wearing a medium to longer length style
• People looking to grow their hair out without losing structure

It’s also a go-to for clients managing receding hairlines, as scissors allow for a more thoughtful approach to blending and styling.

Why Choose a Scissor Cut at Hava and Co?
At Hava and Co, this isn’t an add-on — it’s a craft. Our barbers are trained to cut with precision, intention, and care. It takes longer, yes. But the result is a style that holds its shape for weeks, grows out beautifully, and suits your head — not a haircut template.
Clients often tell us they’re surprised how much better their hair behaves after switching to scissors. It moves better. It feels better.
And frankly — it looks better.
