Anyone use a flowbee to cut their hair?

[fLum0x]

I am thinking about investing in one with the price being $40-70 and a hair cut running up to $14. Any suggestions or words of advice?

my dad bought one of these. he used it on me once and my hair looked terrible. even with the attachments, it's difficult to get a layered look.

LULZ. Just go buy 15 dollar clippers from walmart and shave your head.

I googled for some pics... that thing (vacuum cleaner) looks scary. Go with the traditional buzzer.
Cut your hair outside, or put some newspaper down and vacuum once you're done.

Ditto. We bought a nice set of clippers that comes with the edger trimmer for $40. We easily save that much each time my son and I get a haircut from my wife instead of from a barber.

That's what I do, takes a few tries to get the neck right using two mirrors but it's pretty easy.

A female coworker of mine does. Her hair looks fine.

it doesn't cut short enough for me. I once used a beard trimmer to cut my hair for a couple of months... it looked fine from a distance.. but boy was it a pain in the ass...and up close it was a bit embarrassing, haha

why? because no matter how hard you try you are not going to get a good haircut.

2nd grade 1973, making pinwheels in class: Students noticed that if you sucked in a lot of air next to them, they also spun.

"Hey, if you made a pinwheel out of razor blades, and put it in a vacuum cleaner hose, you could suck up your hair and cut it all to the same length".
"Don't be silly, Thomas. Sit down."

It's a shame my 2nd grade teacher (actually, I think it was a student teacher) didn't recognize the genius of my ideas back then. Perhaps it was because I was the first in the class to point out THE difference between boys and girls. (The question was "name differences between boys and girls.") "I'm ashamed of you, Thomas. Sit down." I probably would have invented [?] by now, something none of you would have thought you could live without had you been living with it right now. But, it's all because my teacher stifled my creativity.

Sheesh...young whippersnapper!


Judging by the pics in the mugshot thread here, I'd say half of ATOT uses a flowbee to cut their own hair...
