Trips to the hair stylist can really add up. This 24-piece home haircutting kit from Wahl gives the whole family professional-looking haircuts for a fraction of the cost. The powerful clippers are useful for giving crew cuts and maintaining shorter haircuts. The clippers have a high-speed PowerDrive motor, which gives a smoother cut on thick hair. However, for the extent of its power, the motor is fairly quiet and lightweight. A comfortable grip makes the clippers easy to hold for a long period of time and a "Dura Chrome" finish gives them that retro-barber-shop look. The clippers’ high-carbon steel blades are permanently aligned so you never need to adjust them, and are detachable for thorough cleaning. The clippers come with 10 adjustable guide combs and a sliding thumb-operated switch on the clippers lets you easily adjust the combs to the proper height. Besides the clippers and guide combs, other accessories in the kit include a barber comb; small flattop comb; pocket comb; barber scissors for trimming bangs or stray hairs; two hair clips; a cape; neck duster; instructional video; and a blade guard, a cleaning brush, and extra oil for the electric clippers. The entire kit fits in a zippered storage pouch. Wahl covers the clippers in this haircutting set under a five-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars This clipper pays for itself, February 20, 2004

I use this clipper set to trim my husband's very short hair. 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, and Wahl is a good brand for clippers. If you are looking to get started even just occasionally, this is a great kit to have. With what we've saved in hair styling fees, this kit paid for itself a long time ago.

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.

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 all in the future. I even use the scissors to trim my daughter's hair. We keep hers shoulder length, but it's important to have good barber's shears for cutting hair.

Overall, I give this clipper set highest ratings.
