Long Scissor Cut Haircut

Flowing Layered Timeless

The long scissor haircut is cut so the bottom falls somewhere between the shoulders and the ears. Then layers are added to create texture, volume, and movement. This is a good option if you prefer a versatile, stylish look that allows you to maintain a polished appearance while keeping your hair length. It works for all hair types.
