Calming Clipper 10pc Haircutting Kit for Sensory Sensitivity

I loves these having a autistic son hair cuts was anit of a nightmare so with these it took the sound away which he didn’t like so now with no sound and all the different lengths and much safer when using scissors as there is no pointy sharp parts quality is nice and solid. Is it expensive YES is it worth it YES

So happy I went and ordered this product my son always hated getting his hair cut and it got so much worse with age (7/8) ended up with 3 of us having to hold him down at the kids haircut place we went to I’ve been trying everything silent razers (that are never silent) songs and images letting him know where we are going beforehand nothing worked and it just got so bad I couldn’t do it anymore. I finally saw this product and was a bit sceptical to begin with and also the price made me think just because i bought stuff previously and it never worked. This product has completely changed the experience for us I use it in the shower with him so the hair can be washed off him straight away and because I’m not a professional barbers the different attachments are so helpful so I don’t scalp him! I’m still in the learning phase with him and haven’t moved from a blade five attachment because I’m building trust with him before trying different blades for different sections and we are working on getting by his ears and the back of his head slowly I’m not saying he likes it but we count to sixty and I get as much done in that time as I possibly can once a week and he can tolerate it a lot more then the hairdresser setting I will never bring him back to a barbershop again and put him through that distress and trauma.

This haircutting kit was not for me for me , I can completely see that to cut children’s hair this is probably a very good idea I did watch videos on it and I’m sure you could easily get the gist of cutting hair but I bought this kit to cut my own hair and stupidly realised you can do one side but of course you can’t do the other side because you can’t turn the blade around so it’s not for somebody wanting to do their own hair for children’s hair or anybody who needs to cut somebody’s hair who doesn’t like traditional clippers I think this would be a very good idea .

Don't usually write a review although I always read them when buying products. But I would recommend trying these you can always return them if they not for you. I have just finished using these on my three year old. For what ever reason he absolutely hates clippers. On his first visit to my usual barbers for my other son who does have medical and learning difficulties. He got that worked up he was sick all over. I've been back a few more times but it is embarrassing the amount he screams. I have ended up resorting to diy with my husband's clippers. Which would be my son clipped into a chair booster seat with my husband keeping his hands down, him screaming at top note with me holding his head whilst trying to clipper his hair. Today started with him in booster seat no husband to help. He fussed at first but distracted him by giving him some brushes so each time a did a run of cutting I would let him then brush the cut hair away. I thought at first I may have to take two sitting to get it all complete. But to my amazement he settled with a bit of disgruntlement. He certainly didn't spend the whole time screaming. so i think a few more goes he'll be fine and hopefully I'll master the art of getting a perfect cut. Summed up these are a great alternative to clippers and looking forward to trying them again. Only didn't give 5 stars due to a bit strange to use but I image after a few more uses I will get used to them.

Hello everyone.I have been watching these things for a long while now. My son has undiagnosed SPD issues and getting his hair cut, along with many other things was pure hell. i stopped taking him to the hairdressers ( in in UK) and we had someone come to the house. it was a sucess but shes not available now... after months of getting longer and scruffy i had to try... i bought these on a next day delivery with free trial of amazon prime. so ordered and picked up next day.I used a visual timetable ( pec card) to tell him we were going to playgroup and when we got home we would do haircut. He was ok with this it seemed.We cam home and i showed him all the pieces and explained what they did. At first he wanted to wear his star wars mask so no heair went in his eyes, but that didnt really work he couldn't see his ipad. so i gave him a warm drink in a sippy cup so he could lift his head back and i could snip and pull hair away to the floor without going across his face.I used a size 3 at the back and then my plan was to do longer on top. but i truthfully was very nervous so i lifted pieces up on top and just kept the hair on a level 3.One thing that i dont like are the instructions are VERY minimal. i know its easier and it takes practice, but i couldnt get my head around how to "use short upward cuts" - or what ever it is,. he had long sideburns of hair, which i told him i would hold his ear down while i did that , i took the guard off and with nanny holding his ear, ipad on loud , managed to snip around the ears,, then i put on a size 2 cover and then randomly sipped around where it looked like it needed blending.One thing i wasn't sure about was how to hold the guard against the head, flat, angled? it doesn't say so as long as you do it the same all the time it will cut the same length.I did though have to use some thinning scissors around the crown as i was too frightened that i would cut it too short..I think i was so nervous i actually dont think i took a breath the whole hour,, yet he sat there happily. the only time he wince or cried was when i was doing the ears..The only other thing i would say is that the apron needs to be rethought. as it is for sensory kids.. its a very crinkly and very noisy apron.. it is the thing he most disliked about the whole experience.
