The scissor haircut is European Barber’s signature: a bespoke cut sculpted by hand with fine shears rather than clipper guards, by Ahmet, a barber with more than 33 years of experience. It takes about 30 minutes and costs $50, in a private suite inside Spectra Apartments in Redmond’s Marymoor Village.
What is included
- A short consultation about what you want to keep and what you want changed
- A full cut with scissors, blended to follow how your hair naturally grows
- Detailing around the ears and neckline
- A styled finish so you leave ready to go
Why choose a scissor cut
Scissors let the barber adjust length and texture section by section, so the cut blends without hard lines and keeps a natural shape. Scissor cuts suit medium and longer styles, textured or wavy hair, and anyone who wants a softer, more tailored finish than a clipper cut gives. Because the shape follows your growth pattern, it also grows out more evenly between visits.
Price and time

Common questions
How often should I get a scissor haircut?
Most short and medium scissor cuts hold their shape for 3 to 5 weeks. Longer styles can go 6 to 8 weeks between visits.
Can a scissor cut be short?
Yes. Scissor over comb can take hair quite short while keeping a soft finish. If you want the sides down to the skin, a skin fade is the better choice.
