PERFECT clipper set for beginners but also works great and gives professional results!
My husband wanted me to buy this mostly so he could use it for "manscaping" purposes and for me to touch up his neck between real hair cuts, but now that I have this and see how well it works and how easy it is to use, I'm considering attempting cutting my sons hair even though I have no experience cutting hair WHATSOEVER! The clippers come with everything you need to do home haircuts, including a full color, step by step instruction guide with tips and techniques etc. for cutting hair, trimming brows, going around the edges, blending etc. All in all I'm really pleased with this kit and the actual clipper itself!
For starters, using it is pretty much idiot proof, which I really appreciate (assuming you can follow directions with pictures and know your colors). Also it's very quiet when it's on! Some clippers we've had in the past are SUPER loud when they're on. My son is autistic and if I have any hope of cutting his hair myself, the volume of the clippers is going to be a big factor. I think these are the quietest I've heard. The guide attachments are really easy to snap on and take off and again are idiot proof. I LOVE the different colors and how you don't have to rifle through the whole box looking for the right ones. It's also very handy that they have the color guide printed on the body of the clippers so you don't have to reference the manual every time once you know how to use them. Just reference the handle, grab the right color and off you go! If you're color blind, no need to fear, the numbers are also imprinted on each guide. :)
Additionally, the case that it all comes in is very handy and I can confirm that it all fits nicely back in there once you open all the packaging! My only quibble with this kit is that in the instructions it shows a 1/8" burgundy guide but that is not included. The instructions say that some kits will not have all the guides. I think that's a little weird/lame, but whatever. There are certainly plenty that it came with to choose from. Also, I wish the cord was a little longer for more ease of use, but again these are minor things.
I really am very pleased with the quality and function of this product, especially for the low price! I have used the kit a few times now and everything works REALLY well! I feel like a professional! All in all this is a great product from Wahl and I highly recommend it, especially for beginners like me! Hope this helps someone else!
