Hi,

I want to cut my own hair and get an affordable but decent scissors to do it. I'm wondering if I can get something that I could use for both my head hair and my beard? And if so, what would you recommend?

PS is there a better place to post this? Haha

You're probably going to find that hair-specific scissors are going to work fine on beard hairs too, but they'll be comparatively long and ungainly for around your face.

Any brand-name ones are going to be good if you're not planning to be a pro. I do my family hair, but that's with a trimmer!

I think you're right. I've been using a giant kitchen scissors for years so the size will not be an issue 😂
