I don't actually have experience working with junipers, but what I understand is that the leaves/scales will turn brown if you cut them with scissors; thus you need to pinch them--it does less damage. If you just want to cut branches off (as opposed to leaves) scissors are fine. There are several bonsai tools designed for specific types of cuts (none of which have I ever owned, but I have used old toe-nail clippers to get a more flush cut).
I hope this helps; maybe somebody has more or better advice.
