I don’t have one so this is just a guess. I think it would depend on the scissors.
It measures bevel angle up to 40°. I’ve seen scissors with angles greater than that.
Reflectivity of the bevel is important. A polished bevel will reflect light with less diffusion than a coarse ground bevel. Many scissors leave a coarse grind on at least one blade to help prevent pushing of the media being cut. I looked at all the scissors in my house and all have coarse ground bevels that would do extremely poorly at maintaining a focused laser beam when it is reflected off the bevel. I don’t know about beautician shears. All of mine are just regular scissors.
I would think that a quick check of how polished the bevels on the scissors you want to measure are would give a pretty good idea of how well it would work.
Hopefully someone who has one or a similar unit will chime in.
