CombPal Scissor Clipper Over Comb Hair Cutting Tool Barber Haircutting Comb Set (Classic Set, Black)

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!

It may take a while to get the hang of using this product. I'm on my third self-do and it's getting better each time. Just make sure you use when unhurried, with good light, and patience. Some reviews objected to the price, but anyone who has had the brainstorm, done the research, developed, and brought the product to fruition deserves credit and the satisfaction of making a profit. I am happy to pay a bit more for a North American made product. Bravo!!

Ordered this yesterday, and it arrived TODAY~! I couldn't be happier....just tried it out on myself, and was able to go from shoulder length hair to a really cute A line bob....I need more practice....but it came out really cute for a first try~!! Tomorrow will be hubby's turn~! I give this gadget an A+++++++++**UPDATE** Over the past few months, I've given my husband (hater of haircuts) 2 AMAZING cuts 100% using this tool and his hair cuts came out PERFECT both times. I sectioned the top of his hair off and clipped, used the 1.5 inch guide to cut all around the sides and back, then used the 2" guide to do the top.... I just kept combing hair up, and snipping anything that stuck through the comb until I couldn't find any more hair to snip~!! HE LOVES IT~!! Next time I'll try and get a little fancier and use a smaller guide to go around the nape of his neck, but with only 2 guides his hair looks perfectly cut with beautiful layers and a perfect blend from the top to the sides~!! AGAIN....A+++++ TOTALLY WORTH THE $$

I almost panicked when I cut more than 3 inches off the back of my head, but just 10 minutes later I had a proper haircut. My husband thought I went to the salon, it looks that clean.I recommend watching a couple YouTube videos to see the technique. Then follow the picture guidelines posted on Amazon. Also, buy a color that contrasts with your hair so you can see clearly where your hair is being cut.I'm in a town with ZERO stylists that will cut black hair. So I took matters into my own hands, and I did the big chop. Shoulder length to pixie cut, and I couldn't be happier. I even got some compliments from people that saw me with that awful ponytail everyday. Good luck!

What a neat invention. I have become disabled and its hard to get out, so I started cutting my own hair. This comb system makes it easy. My friends are amazed that I can cut my own hair and it looks good. Because of my disability, I cannot use scissors very well, so I use my electric clippers and it works just fine. It's fun to use!

With COVID, my husband has not been able to go to his normal hair place. We decided to give the Combpal Scissor Clipper over Comb a chance and were surprised at well it worked. I watched the online video on the products website and it really helped. I also started conservatively because I was afraid to cut too much off. It took way longer than 10 minutes, but that was because I took off a little at a time. Overall, I am so pleased at the ease of use and the design of the product and already recommended it to my friends. This is a before/after picture of my first time using this product. I assume I’ll get better with more practice.

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.

I have been snipping my hair during these crazy times but I felt it needed a bit more than a snip. Bought the combpal and I must say I was impressed. A little tricky when doing your own but practice makes perfect. Follow their video on you tube and you can’t go wrong. I would recommend it.

A well made product but I couldn't get on with it, trying to use it on my own hair. A friend also purchased it, her husband was able to cut her hair successfully but this item is not for me.

I have never taken the time to write a review but this product warrants one. Because we can not go to a salon due to the pandemic, I ordered this hoping to buy some time until Salons open. My 14 year old daughter cut my hair with it after watching the YouTube video. The cut is perfect. Maybe even better than the salon. I am so impressed with how easy it was to use and how well it worked. Highly recommended!!!

A brilliant product. I'm not a hairdresser and have never cut hair before I purchased this to cut my moms hair and all I can say is wow. My moms hair hadnt been cut in 8months, there was no previous style . I followed the video tutorial and I achieved the same result. Very happy and definatly recommended
