Underneath your scalp, there a tons of tiny little nerves which are attached to your hair roots. Whenever someone pulls your hair, these little nerves (which happen to be very sensitive) causes to be pulled as well which creates the painful feeling.

Why doesn't a hair cut hurt?

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.

Why does it hurt when you pluck a hair but not when you cut one?

my guess would that because when you pluck a hair it comes out from the root and pulls from your skin/scalp. But when you cut you're not usually cutting from the root. Well, yeah, that seems to be part of it. I would word it this way: It doesn't hurt when you cut hair because hair doesn't have any nerves, but when you pluck hair, you also kind of pull the nerve the hair is attached to.
