Hair Cutters

Agape's Cut
Galactic Tracer
Hoarfrost Pass: Centurion -- and other gens.
M's Sketchbook -- and the recolors.
Peace and Long Life
Sainte Ciel: Agape -- and the other gens
Summer Haircut

Notes
Agape's Cut and Sainte Ciel: Agape (Disciple of Sainte Ciel) are the same exact cut. If you're only interested in the scissors pose, check Agape's Cut and all the generations of Sainte Ciel: Agape for the cheapest price.

The Agape Cut and M's Sketchbook Hairpins do most of the hair alterations. I recommend having both. Hair can become shorter, lose extensions, become longer and/or gain extensions. Sometimes Agape and Sketchbook make two different cuts and you need both to attain the look.You never know until you try it out.

The rest of the items trim hair into a specific shape like a cookie cutter cutting out cookies. This can be a guaranteed way to cut hair into a masculine cut. (Sometimes Agape and Sketchbook can make a masculine wig out of a feminine one, but sometimes all the cuts remain feminine.)

✂ Bang/Fringe Cutters ✄

Bad Dad
Cheerful Holly
Hime Bangs Haircut
I Scream -- and the recolors.
Me day -- and the 2nd gen

Luxurious Me Day (Same cut as Me Day, but without the hairpins.)

Paint Whiz




✂ Other ✄

Sweetheart Schoolboy (this item shaves one side of the head) -- and the Endearing Schoolboy recolor.
Princess Less Than Three -- and recolors. (This item affects few hairs.)




✂ Animal ✄
[Animal] Agape's Cut
[Animal] Hime Bangs Haircut (this item cuts bangs)

What are haircut items?

Did you ever like a Gaia hairstyle, but just wish you could lob off that darn ponytail? You're in luck!
Items exist that "cut" your avatar's hair. This is not permanent. These items work just like other items in your dress up screen. They affect your avatar's hair while the item is equipped and do not take effect when they are removed.
You must own (have) the item in your inventory in order to equip and wear it on your saved avatar.

These items work on hairs from the salon hairstyles and on wigs.

Your avatar has a default hairstyle that remains on your avatar base even when no items are equipped. I refer to those hairstyles as salon hairstyles. You can change your hairstyle (or just look at them) at Salon Durem. These hairstyles are not items.
There are items that can be equipped that change your avatar's hairstyle. I refer to these items as wigs. Wigs are items that can be equipped, removed and re-equipped. Many wigs can be found in the Gold Shops and in the Marketplace.


The haircut items affect hairstyles in different ways. Scroll down the page for a list of items and a blurb on what they do.

Why use haircut items?

It's up to you! They're completely optional. Haircut items just allow you to have yet another way to customize the look of your avatar.

Upside:
Love the color of a certain wig or hairstyle, but hate the shape? The haircut items might cut it into a style that you like.
These items "multiply" the amount of hairstyles you own. Say you have 10 wig items. Now say you have a pair of scissors that cut all 10 wigs. You now have 20 different hairstyles to choose from.

Downside:
Currently, most of the items listed in this guide come from the Cash Shop. They can be quite pricey.
These items generally affect salon hairstyles and wigs. And, depending on how the haircut item works, it may possibly have no effect at all on certain hairstyles and wigs.

How can I use this guide?

This guide provides a list of haircut items and some information on how those items affect hairstyles.
The name of the item is listed in this color. The image to the left of the name is the main icon for that item. Click it to be sent to the marketplace listing for that item.
The name of the pose that alters hair is listed in this color. The image to the left of the pose name is the icon of that pose. It is not clickable. That'd be redundant.
Images are provided that show the haircut affect. The names of the example hairstyles are shown. The haircut item used will be denoted by the icon of the pose. You can click each image to see a larger view.
Item prices are not listed since they fluctuate daily. Click the marketplace link to check costs. Be sure to check the graphs to see the average prices so that you can identify a good deal or an artificially inflated price.
Some information is hidden in spoiler tags to keep posts neat and tidy. They're not literally spoilers. Click the spoiler tags for more info. Click the tags again to close them.

You don't show an image of how the item looks with my wig. What would it look like if cut?

I will not make examples for every single salon hairstyle and wig. That would take forever and be a never ending battle. Fear not, you can preview the haircuts using the Marketplace or the Dress Up page. Don't know how? Click the spoiler below.



Gaia has made it very easy to preview item combinations in the Dress Up page. You can try on items that you don't own to see how they'd look with your items. (You just can't save avatars with unowned items.)

Head to your Dress Up page. Type the name of an item that you want to preview into the search bar. Choose the "All Gaia" option. Click search.
Repeat the process for the next item(s).
Have fun!

Can I use tektek to preview the cut wigs?

The Tektek site has a tool that helps people plan Gaia avatar outfits. The Tektek staff must individually prepare every Gaia item that is in the dream avatar tool.
Most of the hair modifiers can be previewed on Tektek -- while not always exact, it can still give you an idea of their look.

Sainte Ciel: Agape
- Some hairstyles have an additional pose called with SC Agape and a small pair of Agape's Scissors in the bottom right corner of their thumbnail; those are the way the hairstyle should look like on Gaia. If it's different, then it got changed at some point after it was added to Tektek.
- Equiping the "Sainte Ciel: Agape (Disciple of Sainte Ciel - Approximative)" or "Agape's Cut - Approximative" poses in the dream avatar will remove the back layer of the hairstyles as they were added to Tektek; depending on the hairstyle, it might gives exactly the same visual as Gaia.
- Keep in mind that you'll also have to add the price of an SC Agape item to the total cost of the outfit.




M's Sketchbook "Hairpins" or any of its recolors
- Choosing a hairstyle or hair extension having the "with Sketchbook Hairpins" as well as the small hairpin in its bottom right corner of its thumbnail should display it as it's supposed to look like on Gaia -- minus the layering of some extensions which might be a little different.
- Choosing any of the Sketchbook's "Hairpins (Approximation - Removes Back)" will do the same thing as the Agape's approximation pose; it will remove the back of the hairstyle as it was added on Tektek.
- Similarly, choosing any of the Sketchbook's "Hairpins (Approximation - Cut Back)" will apply a mask on the back layer of the hairstyles as added on Tektek which should be rather close to how it's looking on Gaia.
- Both approximations were added since both of them are the most common scenarios.

Hoarfrost Pass: Centurion (Cicero's Discipline)
Using the "Hoarfrost Pass: Centurion (Cicero's Discipline (Approximative))" pose should apply a mask fully covering the hairstyle -- that mask should be close to its look on Gaia, with a few exceptions which are acting differently.

Sweetheart Schoolboy (Side Shave)
Like with the others, the "Sweetheart Schoolboy (Side Shave (Approximative))" pose will affect the hairstyle by masking part of it and adding the shaved hairstyle part. Keep in mind that the layering of the shaved part might be wrong when a chunk of hairstyle is overlapping the upper part of the body -- but it should be rather close otherwise. As always, it's only an approximation and there's some exceptions which might not be that close to how it looks on Gaia.

Can I equip multiple haircut items at the same time?

Yep, with some fun results.
If you do not own more than one haircut item, use the method explained above to preview the cuts in your Dress Up page. Looking it up with the marketplace preview won't work as well.
Some possible hairstyles that use multiple haircut items are shown below.

✂ Layer Removers ✄
Post Four

✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄
Some haircut items cut hair by removing specific layers off of the hairstyle. Hairstyles come in a variety of shapes and sizes so the final product will vary with each hairstyle.
The outcome usually can make some hairs shorter and cut off ponytails. Some special wigs will even change color when these items are used.
✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄

Sainte Ciel: Agape

Disciple of Sainte Ciel
This item removes layers from wigs. Hair usually becomes shorter and ponytails may be removed.
The scissors are there only for an icon placeholder. The scissors do not appear on your avatar. Some older wigs might not work well with this item. However, after its release, Gaia artists keep this item in mind when creating wigs. Newer wigs often look very nice with this item and sometimes even change color.

Alternate versions with the exact same effect:

The Ciel Agape item is not released often. The 1st and 2nd gens sold for 499 cash. The item became super popular as it was the first of its kind. When the 3rd gen was finally released, the price was upped to 999c. The 3rd gen does appear in the Cash Shop, rarely.
The item called Agape's Cut was released in the beginning of July 2014 as an exclusive item in the Cut Above the Rest bundle. (The bundle contained Hime Scissors, Summer Cut, and the Agape's Cut.) This item is the scissor pose from the Ciel Agape items without all the other poses. It's the exact same cut.

If you're only concerned with the haircut effect and not the poses, be sure to check the marketplace and buy the cheapest of these items. Other items that should be checked are the Saint Ciel items: first, second and third gens. These items cannot be equipped, but can be opened. You may pick your choice of either the Agape or the Eros variations. Pick Agape if you want the haircut. Eros does not contain a haircut pose.

Sainte Ciel: Agape 2nd Gen.
Sainte Ciel: Agape 3rd Gen.
Agape's Cut

M's Sketchbook

Hairpins
This item removes layers from wigs. Hair usually becomes shorter and ponytails may be removed.
The barrettes are there only for an icon placeholder. The barrettes do not appear on your avatar. The cuts sometimes look just like the cuts from Ciel Agape, but will look different other times.

Alternate versions with the exact same effect:

All of the following items also contain hairpins. Though the hairpins are different colors, they all affect hair the same way. So feel free to buy the cheapest one of these items if you're only concerned with the haircut effect. If you like the other poses, buy the item in the color(s) that you like.

✂ Cookie Cutter Items ✄
Post Five

✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄
Some haircut items will shape hairstyles into a mold. It's as if a cookie cutter of a specific shape was used to cut out the hairstyle.
Unlike the items that just remove layers, these items will consistently make the same shape (as long as there is hair to cut). You're stuck with that shape. However, if you like it, you have the ability to shape any wig you might dislike into the haircut that you do like.
Keep in mind that the shapes are outlined with a thin, gray line. This line does not disappear and is often noticeable on light hair. It is also noticeable when the outline is larger than the wig it's cutting. In those cases, the thin gray line appear to float above the head.
✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄

This item cuts hair into a very short, masculine hairstyle with sideburns.

Alternate versions with the exact same effect:

Be sure to check the marketplace and buy the cheapest of these items. Other items that should be checked are the Hoarfrost Pass items: first and second gens. These items cannot be equipped, but can be opened. You may pick your choice of either the Centurion or the Northman variations. Pick Centurion if you want the haircut. Northman does not contain a haircut pose.
Hoarfrost Pass: Centurion 2nd Gen.

✂ Bang Cutter Items ✄
Post Seven

✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄
Items in this category cut only the bangs and no other part of the hair.

Cheerful Holly

Parted Bangs Haircut
This item creates the effect of a side part in the bangs. To do so, it also adds one eyebrow. Depending on your eye/face mod, you might end up with three eyebrows. Be sure to preview this item. Many hairstyles have bangs that are too short to be affected.
There are items that exist that are bangs that can be added to hairstyles. The Hime Bangs Haircut will also alter bang items.

Alternate versions with the exact same effect: None



Hime Bangs Haircut

Hime Bangs Haircut (default pose)
This item shortens bangs to a length right above the top of the eye. It is most noticeable on hairstyles with long bangs. Many hairstyles have bangs that are too short to be affected.

Many hat items will trim hair so that the hair appears to naturally stick out from under the hat and not sprouting out of the hat's side. Please don't suggest those items unless the cut is unexpected.

✂ Hair Extentions ✄
Post Nine

✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄ ✂✄
These items make the hair longer, not shorter. Why include them here?
I know, I know. But they're a sort of haircut since they chop off the bottom of the hair and then add the extensions. And, heck, these items do shorten the length of some long wigs.

I'm currently not going to add list of bang items to this guide. I'll think about it, but they're are tons of bang items out there. And there are currently very few of these items.

This guide is a huge undertaking to provide images of how the haircut items affect all hairs on Gaia. Huge is an understatement. It's a lot of work to maintain that convenience for us. Check it out!



Make it Short: A Cutting Skirts and Pants Item List
While not a list of scissors, per se, this is an extensive list of clothing/mods that equip above shirts/dresses. This effectively cuts those items and gives them a look of being tucked in.


------------CLOTH MODIFICATION ITEMS ------------
Here's an awesome list of items that cut clothing. Many are scissors.

Updates

Created the thread and had most posts completed. The thread was technically created after midnight on 07-08-14.

07-08-14:
Accidentally loaded images to wrong album. Moved images. Am currently correcting links. Posts fixed: (1,2,3),4,5,6,7,8, 9, (10,11,12). Done!
All items have at least one example image now. There are more that I'd like to make, but that will have to be another time. I added a "how to read guide" example, an example for dress up searches and two examples of layering multiple haircut items. This guide is officially complete until Gaia adds new haircut items.

07-27-14:
I've been making small edits here and there this past week. Full changes will be listed once complete. Major change is that this History and Helpful Links post has been moved down to post 13. Post 12 will now house Extraordinary Cuts.
A tentative banner has been added to the first post. The image was cropped from this announcement.
