I've never cut my own hair before so needless to say, I was concerned about how it would come out. I used this kit the other day for the first time and I was very pleased with the results. My haircut came out balanced, very decent actually, although a bit short and it took some time because I was unfamiliar with the process. Yet it looks as good as the cuts I've been getting at Great Clips; the hairs are cut cleanly, not having jagged ends. I'm sure with practice I'll get a lot better, so along with saving money and time on cuts, I'll be able to get (and more importantly maintain) the look I want.

Highlights: This product is an EXCELLENT value at $40. The clipper is powerful yet amazingly quiet, a lot quieter than the clipper I'm used to when I frequented professionals. The thumb-adjustable taper control on the clipper is a big plus. The 2 AA trimmer works great and is more powerful than my Norelco beard trimmer which I've been using that uses 3 AA's. The personal trimmer works great and you shouldn't be afraid to use it in delicate areas because it does indeed cut, not pull, and it is indeed safe. You can change heads on the trimmer easily, and the fact that it uses only 1 AA battery is a plus as well.

I recommend getting the 1.25" and 1.5" guide combs along with this kit. Sold separately.

Hair Cutting Tip (for do it yourself guys): For a finishing touch, place a long piece of thin masking tape on the back of your hair, at the bottom where you want to **square off** your hairline. Use mirrors to help with the positioning, making sure the tape is perfectly horizontal. Then using the trimmer you can go right up to the tape while trimming away the unwanted hair. This will remove all your neck hair and will square off your hairline without even having to use any mirrors at this point. It works great!

Now, I'll address some of the concerns about the kit that I've read here on Amazon:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Who cares if reflective plastic is used? The clippers work great and to get actual chrome the kit would cost a LOT more.
- The product description DOES tell you that you get guide combs up to 1". Somebody didn't read that obviously.
- OK, the scissors are not great. That's not a good enough reason to downgrade the review to 4 stars.
- Somebody mentioned that they would like rechargeable batteries and awarded a 4 star review because of that. LOL I guess they never heard of rechargeable AA batteries.
- The cape works just fine and if the velcro detaches there's a simple fix: Crazy glue
- So what if the bottle of oil included is small? Any regular all purpose tool oil will work just fine, there's nothing special about the oil.
- Somebody complained that they couldn't register the kit online. That's funny, I had NO PROBLEM registering the kit, Product #79524-3001 which will register the clipper, trimmer, and personal trimmer all at once.
- Somebody wanted videos. You can watch instructional videos on the Wahl website, as well as download their instructional and supplemental pdf's.

UPDATE June 15, 2012: I've been using this kit for four months now. My haircuts are actually *better* and more *consistent* than what I was paying $15 for at Great Clips. I would tell them "rounded and full up top, short and tapering on the sides". What I usually got was an uneven top which wasn't blended well with the sides. Now I can do that myself with this kit and I can do the entire cut in less than 40 minutes (total time including cleanup).

Bottom line: Using this kit is just like combing your hair. That's the only skill. The trick is to know *how* to do this effectively. Just take notes and refer/update them with every cut. Once you get the hang of this you'll be amazed at how well your cuts turn out.

Finally, the kit is holding up well, with no problems.
