If you wear your hair longer or want more movement and shape, you may be looking for a scissor haircut rather than a short clipper-focused style.
Short answer
At Broken Arrow Barbershop in Orem, we recommend our Signature Haircut for scissor cuts because it gives us additional time to discuss your goals and work through the details.
01
What does scissor work help us do?
Scissors allow a barber to shape length, adjust weight, and connect different areas of a haircut. Depending on your hair and the desired result, the appointment may use scissors alone or combine scissors and clippers.
The choice of tools follows the haircut. What matters is how the finished shape works with your natural texture, growth patterns, and styling habits.
02
You don’t need to know the technical terms
You can describe what you’re experiencing instead:
“My hair feels too heavy on the sides.”
“I want to keep the length, but give it more shape.”
“I like how it looks wet, but it gets difficult to manage when it dries.”
Those details, alongside inspiration photos, give us a useful starting point.
03
Bring your styling routine into the conversation
Let us know how you normally wear your hair and how much time you want to spend styling it. A look that requires a daily blow-dry may not suit someone who prefers to air-dry and leave.
Our goal is to make the haircut work beyond the appointment.
04
Book a Signature Haircut
Our Signature Haircut includes a consultation, hair wash, precision haircut, shave on the back of the neck, hot towel, and styling guidance.
It’s recommended for first visits, style changes, scissor cuts, or anyone wanting a more customized result.
