Scissors Sound Effects

Scissors sound effects for cutting paper and hair. Paper gets cut and torn as foley, with office and stationery tools right next to it. The salon and barbershop recordings put the scissors where they work hardest. They turn up in odder places too. Surgical kit and sewing machines, for a start.

What's between the blades changes the sound, so it helps that these recordings cut different things. The Paper foley covers cutting and tearing across books, newspapers and glossy sheets, and the barbershop and salon libraries have scissors at work on hair. On a desk, scissors sit with the Stapler, pens and the rest of the stationery from the office and school sets. Surgical tools cover the hospital version. It all suits a haircut in close-up as much as a busy office.
