Scissorhands

Good hair work starts with recognising what damage looks like and what causes it. Scissorhands stands out because the stylists here understand the difference between a cut that's simply been executed and one that accounts for your hair's actual structure — porosity, density, elasticity, breakage points. In Sandton, where many clients juggle multiple treatments (colour, relaxers, extensions), knowing how to assess cumulative damage and advise honestly — sometimes suggesting rest periods rather than the next expensive service — separates capable stylists from ones flying blind. Experience shows in small choices: how they diagnose why your edges aren't recovering, whether they're using tools that won't snag, how they section hair to minimise tension. These details compound over months and years.
