Those clips things hair stylist use when cutting hair?

As a guy, I've noticed that if I get my hair trimmed (mine is longish) in a regular guys barbershop or even a salon that caters more to equal numbers of guys/girls, then they just use a comb and scissors to cut my hair. But if I go to a salon that is unisex but maybe caters more to women (fewer guys) or is more trendy, then they use these big plastic clip type things or silver metal clips to keep hair out of the way while they cut it.



Why the difference? Does using the clip things mean I am getting a better cut or not, or does it mean the stylists isn't as good. I guess they just keep hair out of the way while they cut it, but shouldn't they be used all the time as common practice if they are needed, or not bothered with if they aren't.

It depends on how the barber/beautician is taught and the method that works best for them. My sister used to be a hairdresser, and she's the only person I would ever trust to touch my hair, and she was taught to use the metal clips (they have a technical name but it escapes me now what it is) and that's what worked best for her. Most hairdressers I have seen in the unisex salons and beauty schools use the clips. At the same time, those same people can't give a decent haircut to save their lives, so the clips don't have anything to do with the quality of the cut. It's all about the skill of the hairdresser and their willingness to listen to what you want and go from there. A large number of hairdressers out there actually don't care about the job itself, which is one of the reasons why people recieve bad cuts (or whatever else they went in for) and service. They're only in it because it's "easy money" and anyone can go to school to learn it.

They're called " h a i r c l i p s ". Doesn't mean it's a better or worse cut. It's the skill of the beautician or barber that matters.

Some people find it easier to cut small sections at a time opposed to all at once. I think it just depends on their training.

It's just a stylist choice thing. It doesn't mean you're getting a better cut.

When I was still in England they used to use clips like that all the time. Over here in the US, they seem to use them less. Also, one girl asked me if I minded or not if she used them. I said no problem and she seemed relieved lol. I got the impression some guys don't like them being used, like it threatens their macho-ness.

there really is a big difference between a barber over a stylist. barbers specialize in hair. period. stylist are hair skin and nails. they are typically more organized. they do jus give you more control over the hair. in barber school they are not trained to use them . that's all.
