Product Description

Amazon.com Review

No bigger than your average tube of mascara, the Emjoi AP-91 facial-care tool gets rid of unwanted facial hair painlessly and quickly. Featuring a 5/8-inch trimming head on the end of a wand-shaped handle, the pearly blue device is easy to use and makes about as much noise as a tiny pair of clippers might. Try it by itself to trim right down to the skin or pop on the two-sided attachment to thin or sculpt your eyebrows and neckline. Measuring 5-3/8 inches long, it's small enough to slip into a purse or overnight bag. As a safety feature, the power switch shuts off automatically when you put the cap on. --Emily Bedard

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware causes stubble, April 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Emjoi AP-91 Petite Facial Two-in-One Facial Care Tool (Health and Beauty)

I bought this from QVC after I had to send back a Braun Silk Epil. The epilator really irritated by skin caused major bumps and redness. Waxing just hurts too much and is really messy. This sounded ideal I just wanted to have a smoother look on my cheeks, and upper lip. It trims down your facial hair however, the next day you will notice stubble. You have to really look close to see it, but you can really feel it. You might as well shave. I have not used the brow attachment, I saw the demo on QVC but am afraid I will shave my brows off. Would love to know what others think of this item.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like it!, December 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Emjoi AP-91 Petite Facial Two-in-One Facial Care Tool (Health and Beauty)

I haven't noticed stubble, and I do like having smoother skin. Makeup adheres better. I have used the eyebrow attachment on my husband's bushy eyebrows, and it works well. My only complaint is that this facial care tool does not come with a replacement blade, and nowhere in the instructions is there information for ordering a replacement blade. It does come with the necessary battery.

3.0 out of 5 stars There are identical products out there for less., November 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Emjoi AP-91 Petite Facial Two-in-One Facial Care Tool (Health and Beauty)

Hm, you can get the exact same thing sold under another name for less than 1/3 what they are currently selling it here for at major retailers like wal-mart and bed bath and beyond and many other places including catalogs. In fact, I used a 20% off bed bath & beyond coupon & got it even cheaper. It's called "Finishing Touch". It's the same thing down to the little eyebrow attachment and little brush. The only difference appears to be the coloring scheme, but the main body is still a brushed aluminum color.

I like mine, but I'm glad I paid as little as I did. This is a unique product which should not be unique, and I expect more trimmers like this to come on the market. It's not terribly well-made, but it does do the job. It's much safer, easier, and more comfortable than a blade. It doesn't get as close as a blade, but it does get as close as you can expect a trimmer to, and that's *closer* than the trimmer parts of more expensive electric shavers. It's a closeness somewhere between a blade and the trimmer part of electric razors, if you've ever used those.

It does use a AAA battery, and use a fresh one. It's not loud, but it does have kind of a cheap sound when it goes. Going against the grain of the hair helps a lot, as does slowing down; it's not for huge areas. The 'penlike' shape of it helps you do a good job in difficult sensitive areas and folds in the body, especially where you don't have a good view or easy reach and might otherwise hurt yourself.

These things are increasingly popular as people for men and women enjoy a different intimate look and feel. I'm a guy and I like it and use it for myself just as much as my girlfriend does for herself. They are now marketing an incarnation of this gizmo to men, making the color gray and black to seem macho and not girly, and including an expanded and confusing male-oriented "accessory kit", but even those are being sold for less than half of what this is being sold for on national commercials.

This is also helpful medically. If you are constantly using medical tape or sticky bandages, such as people using silicone patch scar therapy, or circumcised men participating in non-surgical restoration using medical tape (as I am; do an internet search on it), this thing is like a godsend, and, yes, had I not been able to get it for the price I did, I would have paid more for it, knowing what I know now.
