Even those little mustache scissors will work as long as you get good ones.
Yes, this is exactly what I do also. Especially laying the scissors horizontal. Use the middle of the blade to cut rather than the ends. That way even if she flinches she won't get poked. I also hold the head by the beard. It helps give me more control.
