According to archaeological records, the ancient Egyptians began to use bronze scissors as early as the 15th century BC. There are scissors carved on the wall inside the Temple of Kom Ombo.

But the scissors mentioned above are not the crossed style used today. Archaeologist Flinders Petrie believes that the present style of scissors appeared in the 1st century AD.

In the 5th century AD, Isidore of Seville, Spain, described tailors and barbers using the current style of scissors as their main tool.

In ancient times, in any country or tribe that did not have scissors, people would use other tools to trim hair or other items, such as cutting with a knife, burning with fire, and so on.
