Your hair and fingernails do not have nerves, so you can cut or clip them without pain. If you clip your nails back too far, there are nerves in the flesh underneath the nails that can cause pain. The top layers of the epidermis can take shallow cuts and scratches with little to no pain. This layer is very thin. It is what peels off when you get a sunburn.
The hair and nails are the only parts of the body that do not contain nerves that can feel pain. This is because neither hair nor nails have a blood supply or nerve endings.
Finger nails like hair constantly grow it is part of our lifestyle to cut them both in order to be considered well groomed. Even after death our hair and finger and toe nails continue growing for an undetermined period of time.
Hair does not feel pain when cut, as it lacks a nervous system. However, the hair follicle and surrounding skin may experience pain if cut during the process.

The hair does not hurt when cut
why does it hurt to pull your hair but not cut it?
The hair that shows above your skin is composed of dead cells made up of a tough protein called keratin; toenails and fingernails are also made of keratin. So hair and nails have no feeling above the surface of your skin. They are alive below the skin, though, where their roots are attached to nerves. That is why it hurts when someone pulls your hair: they are tugging at live roots. But having your hair and nails cut doesn't hurt at all.
