The purpose of any haircut is to arrive at the right length of the hair for the style we have selected. The importance of proper haircut depend on the proper length that will create the look the client wants.

A great hair cut is not only technically sound, but it suits the clients face shape. This is why the study of facial shape becomes important before deciding the hair cut. The key to success is to accentuate a client’s best features and down play the worst features and it should attractively frame the face to achieve the best results.

The safety precautions to follow during hair cutting are:

• Always palm the shears and the clippers when combing or parting the hair. 
• At the time of cutting around the ears or in the case of shorter haircuts, take extra care not to accidentally cut the ear. 
• While cutting bangs or any area close to the skin, balance the shears by placing the tip of the index finger of our left hand on the pivot point. 
• At the time of working with electric clipper always use a guard.
