Children's hair grows incredibly fast, and when you've got two or more kids, it can feel like you're spending half your budget on haircuts. When you decide you're done paying someone else to cut your family's hair, invest in Wahl's 15-piece haircutting kit. For about the cost of one haircut at a nice salon, you'll get everything you need to do basic cuts on any length of hair.

Before you even start, you can sit down and watch the accompanying 20-minute how-to video and get a crash course in haircutting techniques. Then, using the clippers, styling shears, and combs, you can give your family contemporary cuts, buzz cuts, flattops, and fades. You'll also find everything you need to maintain your clippers, including a cleaning brush and clipper oil. Two-year warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

5.0 out of 5 stars A barber knows, November 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Wahl 9243-517N HomePro 22-Piece Complete Haircut Kit (Health and Beauty)

I cut hair for years with this wahl set before I became a barber. The wahl clippers cut almost as good as the tools I use in the shop. The only disadvantage of these clippers is that they are not designed to do more than a few haircuts at a time (they get hot quickly), and in general they are not designed for the continual use of a barber shop (keep the blades oiled or they'll dull quickly). For doing a few occasional haircuts at home, these are definately the best clippers you'll get for less than [X], and for the average family, they should definately last at least several years if properly cared for. I've also tried a conair set, and I was very disappointed with the low quality of the accessories and they way the blades fed- they didn't cut very well.

Be sure to keep in mind that these are not completely foolproof, and they do require a certain ammount of skill and intuition to achieve good results.

This review is from: Wahl 9243-517N HomePro 22-Piece Complete Haircut Kit (Health and Beauty)

Wahl is perhaps the best all-round clipper set. I was soooo satisfied with this set that I ended up buying three of them. I really hate going to barbers as they can be quite inconsistent, so I bought this set. The Wahl set has been so comfortable to use that I have been cutting my hair at home for the past few years. This set really, really does last that long.

I have also tried a Conair clipper set and have been tremendously dissapointed with that one. Do not buy that if you are contemplating between Wahl and Conair....make sure you buy the Wahl instead. The Wahl gives you a clean cut that is very smooth, whereas the Conair feels like it's pulling your hair rather than cutting it. Also, the Wahl comes with many pieces and additions/attachments you can add to it or purchase from the Wahl site. I would recommend Wahl to all first-time users as well as those who have been cutting their own hair for ages.

For about the past 12 years, my wife has been cutting my hair. Normally, I keep my hair short in a crew cut, which makes cutting it a snap.

We had an older Wahl clipper which did the job quickly and painlessly. But, it's getting on in years, so when this turned up in my gold box, I jumped on it.

What a horrible mistake.

These clippers simply don't clip. What they do is pull on the hair. They rip the hair out. They hurt! I wind up flinching with each pass as my wife cuts my hair. In the past, haircuts simply weren't a big deal. Now, we both dread them.

My wife has to move so slowly with these clippers (so that the hair gets clipped and not yanked out) that what normally takes about 5 minutes now takes 20+.

If you're looking for a good set of hair clippers, pass on these.
