About Scissor Cut Grooming
A scissor cut uses hand-held shears instead of electric clippers for a softer, more natural finish. Ideal for breeds with fine or curly coats where clippers can leave lines. Scissor cuts require more skill and time, but produce a polished, flowing result that many pet owners prefer.
Across 18,376 classified grooming photos from 2,157 Australian
salons, the scissor cut appears in 225 — the 7th most photographed
style in the country, seen most often on poodless (59 photos), schnauzerss (31 photos) and shih tzuss (21 photos).
