Flyingshears® PECKING is one of the Flyingshears
techniques for One-length, Graduation and Layering. It uses mainly the tip of the scissors to cut hair. Movement is similar to a Woodpecker pecking
a hole with its beak. Although each pecking cuts only a small portion of hair, the styling can be done
quickly and evenly with the multiple tips of the scissors

Flyingshears® PARING is another Flyingshears
cutting technique particularly for thinning, texturizing
as well as layering. It uses the body part of the scissors to cut hair. The movement is similar to a Japanese
warrior brandishing a sword, using the force of waist to drive the arm and wrist to move for achieving an ideal styling.

*Scissors handling
2.
By moving scissors with the 4th finger naturally, stylists
are able to control the scissors easier, to run the blade
faster and to use their hand, wrist and finger in a more
comfortable and flexible manners.
Flyingshears® technique relies on the
4th finger to open and to close the
blade of the scissors and the thumb
remains stationary while cutting.
Conventional technique requires
hair stylist’s thumb to open and to
close scissors.

A s a general guideline, scissors blade will be divided into Tip, Body
and End parts, and each part is assigned to handle different cutting
operations in Flyingshears® technique. However, any parts in the blade
can be used for any cutting operations once you mastered the cutting
techniques.

Sweep cutting
Sweep Styling is an advanced Flyingshears® cutting technique that
can be used in hair styling, thinning and texturizing. It requires both
left and right hand to work in a perfect coordination. All cuttings and
movements should be led by the feelings of touch You need to be
well trained in scissors handling, hair sweeping and angling. They
are the important factors for styling hair.
1. Swing hair towards your body.
Position and angle the scissors with a slight
opening and closing blades to snip hair.
2. Swing hair upwards and away to the air.
Move the scissors to the closest point of the scalp,
then open and close the tip of the scissors to thin the
root area of the hair.
3. Catch, hold and Cut
Swing hair toward or away from the scalp, catch
hair with the opened scissors then hold and snip it.
