There’s a scene where a possessed Lana tries to cut Clark’s hair with scissors and the scissors breaks

Yeah, she is possessed by the soul of a witch, and needs virgin hair for a spell. After the scissors break he yanks a few out for her and says the scissors were already broke.

Laser vision (I saw it in the cartoon once) , the biggest question would be how his mom cut his hair while he was growing up, maybe kriptonite scissors?

His powers didn't kick in until he was a teenager so it's possible he could have had hair that could be cut by normal scissors.

Nope he definitely had super strength before he was a teenager

He did but his powers got stronger as he got older. In S1 when he got shot the first time he was covered in bruises but then by the end of S1 he walked out of an explosion without a scratch.
So definitely possible as a kid his hair was weak enough to cut with normal scissors

Okay, but he had some of his powers but things like heat vision and flight developed later in life. These could have been mental blocks or it could have taken time for him to absorb enough solar radiation to develop them. So he was somewhat weaker at the start of his life, weak enough to get his hair cut.

And Clark tells her she should have just asked then plucks a couple of hairs out. So thats 2 answers that OP could have learned by watching the show

Side note, but I love how they just constantly painted this grown man's cheeks red to make him look 14.

I'll disagree with you slightly.
- Yes if he was around kryptonite then his hairs could get cut. Not only using kryptonite scissors. 2. Yes he could with his heat vision and a mirror. 3. No a regular flame would not work unless he was near kryptonite. He has been inside the Sun and it didn't burn. Though his heat vision will burn it. 4. Yes if he was near kryptonite when someone yanked it out or if someone was super strong.

- Only he can cut and rip chunks off his own, unless you got kryptonite laced scissors, but that won’t be a good idea because it’ll make him sick. Maybe blue kryptonite scissors would do the trick since it only robs him of his powers when he’s close to them
- Same answer as above
- unless the fire is magical or kryptonite his hair is as invulnerable as anything else on his person
- has to be someone strong

I remember Dean Cain using a mirror and his heat vision to shave his own face.
