Cut Your Children's Hair & Save Money! Philips Norelco Kids Clipper and 180 Clipper {Review & Giveaway}
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 Posted by Jolly Mom
In this economy, I am always looking for ways to save money and one way I do that is by cutting Lucas' hair myself. Kids' haircuts are expensive and they add up considering they need a trim every few weeks or so! The only problem is that I am definitely not a "pro" and as he has gotten older, his haircuts have gotten harder for me to pull off. When Lucas was a baby, his hair was so fine that cutting his hair was really a few snips and that was it. Now, he has so much more hair and I feel like it needs a "style" or something. That's why I was more than excited when I got the opportunity to try out the Philips Norelco Kids Clipper!
The Philips Norelco Kids Clipper is designed with both moms and kids in mind. They are very quiet so kids don't get scared of the sound. Plus, they have some great safety features like rounded tips that protect the skin from scratches and cuts. The clipper is also a very compact and lightweight design and made especially for women's hands. My favorite feature--by far--is that they are cordless. This is a must when it comes to cutting a child's hair because it means you can cut their hair anywhere--in their favorite chair watching their favorite show, in the kitchen, bathroom--wherever. Not to mention the maneuverability it gives you while cutting your child's hair--you have access to all 360 degrees around your child's head. The clipper has a powerful Lithium Ion battery that charges in 8 hours and delivers enough power for over 3 haircuts (45 minutes of running time). Even if the battery is drained, the clipper can still be used corded.
The Philips Norelco Kids Clipper comes with two guide combs, scissors, cape, pouch, and an awesome How To DVD that shows you how to actually do three different haircuts--buzz cut, long sports cut, and the fade. After watching the DVD, I can honestly say that for the first time I felt confident about cutting Lucas' hair and it actually looking good as well. I am really happy to report that his hair looks great and it kind of looks like it was done by a professional {not at the "pro" level yet LOL}! I also love that the clippers don't come with a bunch of guide combs, but instead has only two integrated guide combs. All you do is slide to the hair length you want and it locks into place. This does mean that you will have to use a little strength to move the guide comb to a different position, but I like that since it ensures that it will stay in place during the cut--which is important. The guide combs adjust to cover all hair lengths up to 1.65 in. I started out using one of the longest until I got the hang of it. That way I could "practice" without Lucas' hair paying for it LOL.
Here's his before and after {sorry for the terrible picture quality}:
For men and adults, you also have to check out the Philips Norelco 180 Clipper, which are designed for you to cut your own hair.
Mike has been using them keep his hair trimmed and neat until his next haircut. This way he can wait longer in between cuts and we can save a little bit of money! Basically, these clippers have a unique 180-degree pivoting cutting unit that allow them to reach your entire head--even the hard to reach areas in the back. Plus, they are ergonomically designed and cordless--the battery lasts for a full hour! Of course, just like the kid's clipper--these can also be used with a cord and don't come with a bunch of loose combs. These have two integrated guide combs that adjust to cover all hair lengths up to 7/8in. Once a length is selected, the guide comb is locked to ensure a clean and even haircut. It also comes with a click-on precision trimmer for finishing up the neckline, sideburns and fine edges.

This would be so great to win My sons hair is long and he does not like going in for hair cuts. Maybe he'll like them at home.

I would like the 215°C Straightener. You really do get what you pay for with straighteners, and it looks like a good one.
It's funny that you're having this giveaway right now. I just used borrowed clippers to cut my son's hair for the first time today, and got online to see if I could find a good deal on one. I hope I win!

Great review. I added it to my Amazon wish list. I do cut my son's hair and wish I could do a better job of it--hard with a wiggly 3 year old. The wake up light looks interesting. I wonder how well it actually works.
