Original CombPal Scissor Clipper Over Comb Hair Cutting Tool Barber Haircutting Comb Set (Jumbo Guide Black)

I bought this product because of lockdown and hairdressers/barbers being closed. I watched the videos online and practiced on my own fringe before starting on my husband's, by now, very long hair. He prefaced the haircut with, 'I'm not going anywhere and I can always wear a hat.' When I had finished, he said, 'Oh my God! That's a proper haircut! All that money I've wasted at the barbers'...' I found the tools a little awkward to use but I am sure that I will improve with more practice. I am delighted with the results. I recommend watching the videos as they are much easier to understand than the drawings and the written instructions.

This is a brilliant tool! I’m 76, husband 77, he’s never done anything like this before but managed to cut my hair following the video of the lady with short hair. My hair hasn’t been cut since last March (it’s now Feb 2021) so it was quite long and all over the place. Although I’m in my 70’s I still have a good head of hair but it’s quite fine so he had to wet it every so often which helped tremendously and the result is amazing! It’s just like the lady in the video and is just as good, if not better, than some professional hair cuts I’ve had. Can highly recommend.

Interesting concept and does a fairly good job once you have had a few tries. Still need a steady hand to use scissors, which are not included, but will give a good result. Worth watching the online video tutorials produced by manufacturer to see how its done.

A good idea - ok as a emergency DIY cut as you need to spend a bit of time to just used to it etc.

The comb and clip on guides are sturdy and guides clip on securely. Took a while to develop techique in using it but once mastered easy to use. I cut my husband's hair with it and he was pleased with the result. I also cut my own hair using it. The back of my hair was more difficult, but using mirrors, I was able to position comb correctly and my husband did the cutting. Easier to manage an overall evenness when cutting . Perfectly reasonable haircuts achieved. Good variety of lengths in the guides to cater for different styles.Easy

Earlier in lockdown I cut my own hair - quite short and it was a bit uneven but as I have curly hair it didn't show too badly until it started to grow. While I was doing it I wished for something that would allow me to cut it the same length all over. I have now found that thing! This is very clever - you use the normal toothed comb through your hair, twist it up until the long prongs sit on your scalp. Your hair that is in the comb is held however far away from your scalp you want it (depending on which set of prongs you choose). You then trim your hair along the top of the comb. I didn't look at the video - the photos on the short instructions were quite clear. It can be a bit more tricky on one side of your head than the other at first, and I found it was sometimes easier to hold the non-handle end of the thing, but it worked! Even doing the back of my head was fine. Even though I couldn't see it, I was able to move the comb into place as above, then clamp my hair between two fingers either above or below the comb, depending on reach, remove the comb and cut where the comb had been, and know it was the right length. I went for the 2.5 inch guide - that's the longest - and it looks great. I've been asking hairdressers just to cut my hair the same length all over for years and they've never quite believed that was what I wanted. It was a bit fiddly but I reckon I'll get better at it each time. I think if you used it on someone else (do ask permission first!) it would be very very easy.

Cutting your own hair isn't easy - this product makes it even harder. Overpriced plastic rubbish.

This fabulous comb has enabled my wife and I to cut each other's hair with confidence whilst hairdressers have been closed. Our friends are impressed, although I'm sure our hairdresser wouldn't be! Currently continuing to cut each other's hair but not ruling out not going to a professional in the future. Would recommend this comb, but probably easier to use on someone else rather than trying to cut your own hair with it.

Cet outil de coupe de cheveux est un peu cher mais il faut se dire qu'on paie pour l'idée, le concept. Assez facile à utiliser, il suffit de quelques fois pour acquérir de la vitesse. C'est un outil étonnant, très efficace et bien pratique lorsqu'on voyage sur une longue période. Le vidéo est bien fait pour montrer les différentes techniques. Je l'utilise depuis environ un an et je réussi à présent à faire une coupe en 20 minutes environ.

need a bit of practice but excellent little tool which makes my life a lot easier

La desideravo da anni e finalmente l'ho trovata su Amazon e l'ho comprata. Premetto che non andrò più da un parrucchiere e ne farò la tinta per problemi di salute. Mi serviva un qualcosa per avere un taglio diverso dalla solita rasatura in quanto il pettinino più grande arriva a 3 cm. Questa è perfetta, facile da usare e con altri accessori, il taglio sarà perfetto.

Enkelt och bra redskap som löser många problem.

This is a review for cutting someone else’s hair. I did not use it to cut my own hair. My husband has very thick, salt and pepper hair. It had grown pretty long and really needed to be cut. I have never cut anyone else’s hair with the exception of trimming my own bangs—or when I trimmed bangs and cut long hair straight across the bottom for our daughters when they were small. We looked for clippers first...way too expensive and the shipping was well into next month. I watched lots of videos on YouTube about scissor cutting men’s hair. Nothing looked easy. By chance, I found this on Amazon. I watched the demo a couple of times and showed the demo to my husband. He told me to order it because the cost seemed reasonable and it was advertised to arrive in about 5 days. It arrived 2 days later. I ordered the yellow colored guides because my husband’s hair is too close in color to the gray and black sets that were also offered. I’m really glad I ordered the yellow set because the bright color makes it much easier to see his hair while cutting it. I wanted him to wet his hair first but he didn’t want to. So....I watched the demo a couple more times before I had him sit down on a kitchen chair and began cutting his dry hair. Because I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I started with the 2 inch guide. Using everyday, basic (inexpensive) 4 inch scissors, I just went for it. I did a quick trim all over his head then switched to the 1.5 inch guide and concentrated on the back of his head and the sides. I kept using gradually smaller guides on the sides and the back of his head until I got the lengths he liked. I kept the hair at the front and the top of his head longer so he could gel and spike it a little. We were both amazed. His layers blended extremely well. It looked perfect. Really. I don’t think he’ll ever need to go back to a salon or barber shop again. If we use this set of tools twice, it will pay for itself. The set comes in a sturdy, reusable, transparent, zip-slide closure bag with a pamphlet that offers some basic instructions and pictures. Each guide has the size imprinted into the plastic. Kind of hard to see but definitely readable and the numbers will not rub off. The (included) comb is large and easy to hold and use. There is a row of openings (like a ladder) that run down part of the comb. The guides have nubbins with hooks on one end that you fit into the openings. Then you slide the guide up ever so slightly upwards in the holes until you hear a locking “click.” Now you’re ready to start cutting. It’s really that easy. Before you cut, make sure that the bottom of the guide rests upright against the scalp and be sure to only cut the hair that is sticking between the teeth of the comb. You start by “scooping” the hair upwards with the comb (like you’re combing your hair against the flow), then you twist your wrist until you align the guide upright against the scalp. Then cut. Repeat process over and over again all over the areas of the head you want to cut. The guides are for placing the comb at an equal distance from the head before every cut you make. You don’t cut hair through the guide itself, you cut the ends of the hair that stick through the teeth of the comb. Watch the demo on Amazon. It was brief and very helpful. I was very nervous before I started my husband’s haircut. After I actually began cutting and I saw how easy it was to do and how accurately the cutting was actually going, I relaxed a lot and cut away. I will have absolutely no hesitation using these guides in the future. Next time I’ll know what guides work best and I won’t have to experiment. Wonderful product: This kit offers a really good selection of sizes. We found it great for cutting hair short as well as for leaving up to 2.5 inch length layers. It’s easy to use. Easy to assemble and to clean (we washed it in the sink). The guides and comb are made of sturdy, heavy plastic and have soft edges. The comb and guides didn’t scratch my husband’s scalp. Everything comes packaged in a thick, transparent reusable pouch with a zip-glide opening. You can take it anywhere...toss it into a suitcase, briefcase or purse, etc. It seems expensive at first glance but (for us) it will definitely pay for itself. I paid full price for this item and I’m offering my own opinions and review after actually using it. Good luck and fearless hair cutting!
