clippered

Cut with blades

Clippered means cut or trimmed with clippers—electric or manual cutting tools with oscillating blades.

Hair is the most common object: freshly clippered sides, a clippered neckline.

The word suggests a close, clean cut rather than scissor work.

Hedges and lawns can also be clippered, though this usage is less common.
