The session at the hairdresser has never been rethought as much as in recent times. While the beautysphere is more concerned about the health of its hair, hairdressers are aligning themselves to develop the most innovative methods that respect the hair fiber while providing additional style. If dry cutting is on the rise recently, it is a completely different method, which is not new, which will resurface in 2024… Cutting with a lawnmowerinvented by the hairdresser Jean-Louis David, founder of the eponymous franchise, is one of those old techniques that are becoming hype again. Vanessa Giani, expert trainer at Jean Louis David explains: “It is Jean-Louis David, avant-garde, who with his famous fade with clippers, will allow women less conventional cuts. We have been using it in our salons for 50 years. It is not obligatory, the customer always has the choice, but it nevertheless remains a flagship signature element of our know-how and truly differentiating from what is practiced in other hair salons.“. Against all odds, the clippers of our guys can also cut our lengths (not to be reproduced at home at the risk of ending up bald).
What is clipper cutting?
Just as its name suggests, cutting with a lawnmower is a cutting method where the electric clipper will cut the hair, regardless of its length. “This technique allows you to achieve all cutting styles: graphic, geometric, gradient, and all of this more precisely than with a pair of scissors.” specifies the expert. You can, with the clipper, lighten, create movement, structure, destructure, maintain a cut, cut the ends or transform a look without going to extremes.
What is the difference between a clipper cut and a scissor cut?
The clipper is a real Swiss army knife! All the cutting styles and all material effects can be achieved with a clipper. The clipper makes it easy to make precise cuts on dry hair, unlike a pair of scissors between which the latter tends to slip. The effect of volume and density is assured, in addition to incomparable ease of replacement afterwards. “And what’s more, it’s a secure instrument: neither the hairdresser nor the client can be cut!” continues Vanessa Giani.
Is the clipper recommended for a certain hair type?
The good news is that everyone can try cutting with clippers! “The mower is suitable for All hair types, from the smoothest to textured hair and from the longest hair to the shortest hair. You can create structure, lines, shapes, movement, texture and all this on dry hair or on wet hair.” concludes the expert, specifying that cutting with clippers is only practiced by trained hairdressers, such as at Jean Louis David. All you have to do is make an appointment!
