He used to go to a stylist who charged him $25 a cut. Because his ideal cut is very close all around, he needed to get a new cut every 4 weeks or so, and those fees really add up quickly. We finally cut the cord with the stylist and bought a home clipper set. The clipper is powerful and does not get too warm. It is easy to use and the included video makes it easy to learn to cut hair. I haven't attempted any of the more complicated cuts, we just use a Number One comb all over my husband's head and clean up the edges without any comb at all. However, we do find all the accessories to be very useful; the brush for cleaning the clippers, the lubricating oil, and the brush for sweeping stray hairs off the neck. Occasionally I use the shears to trim the hair around his ears, too. The kit also has a mirror and a plastic apron, which are helpful to have. You really could use this kit to get started with all kinds of cuts,...Read more 31 of 31 people found the following review helpful: By Mom To Nicky (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews This review is from: Wahl 79524 24-Piece Deluxe Hair Clipper Kit (Health and Beauty) Having never cut a single hair my entire life, I was a bit skeptical of actually giving my 2-year old son a haircut. But I watched the DVD (very helpful) and then went to work. It was really easy, and the results look pretty darn good, despite the fact that I cut his hair WHILE HE WAS ASLEEP! The actual cutter was a lot quieter than I thought it would be. It glided easily thru the hair, with no tugging or pulling. The company has been around for quite some time, so I feel confident that these clippers will also be around for many years to come. Lots of cutting attachments for different lengths, which is really a bonus. One downfall....the "cape" is nothing more than a garbage bag with ties. Totally worthless. Go to your local Sally Beauty Supply and get a real cape for a couple of bucks. 33 of 35 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Wahl 79524 24-Piece Deluxe Hair Clipper Kit (Health and Beauty) Do yourself and your family a favor - stop paying upwards of $30 a shot for your husband's haircut! This wonderful system will pay for itself after its first use, and can be used ad infinitum with little maintenance.
We bought this terrific little clipper kit over a year ago and haven't looked back. My husband always had had longish hair before then, but now prefers his trimmer look. We keep it about 3/4 inch on the sides and 1" on top with it longer in the front to hide his hairline. We didn't even need the DVD to show us how to do that! It's pretty obvious how to use the tools. Okay, I admit it, after the first "mistake" of trimming him to 1/4 inch all over, we learned our lesson, but hey, hair grows back! The right and left ear pieces didn't really work for us, but maybe you can figure them out. For us, they kind of give a ridged look. The scissors and other tools are wonderful, though. It's a very complete set and you won't have to add to it at...Read more |
