Twirling technique with scissors after you cut? If it's a swivel thumb it might jus tbe changing the direction of the shear. Maybe it's also showing off. :-D Can you describe the technique a little more?

Yes thats it !The flip palmy thing lol~ I know there is a name for it. I know they teach in in beauty schools now. I dont know if Im doing it right. I just flip my shears around. It looks stupid when I do it tho. So I know Im not doing it right.

I YouTubed How to Twirl Hairdressing Shears and found this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAaoWu6qhjY

I didn't watch it however. Good luck, and keep practicing. You'll get it eventually.

Oh I just watched it. It's like old school twirling glowsticks or something. That looks dangerous. Are you planning on doing that in a salon?

I equate the move with bartenders who flip the bottles before they pour a drink. Pretty silly.

I believe bartender juggling is called Flair. They have competitions for flair. But I'm thinking of Office Space and all the Pieces of Flair that Joanne had to wear. Okay I'm being silly now too. :)
