Wahl Color Pro Clipper Review and Giveaway (BTSC-Day 39)

As a child growing up, my dad would cut,trim and level my hair. He would spend a long time doing it but in the end I always felt the end result was tres professional! Years down the line I find myself preferring to cut Hubby and Bunny girl's hair (well...atleast when she was younger!) than spend over 10$ a head to get a basic cut,trim or level. (Is it just me or do you also find the price of haircuts crazy most times!)

One side of my Hubby's family has receding hairlines and premature balding. Hubby has inherited the latter so a trip to get a haircut is a waste of money when there really isn't much to cut. Thus he prefers that his beloved wife take to the shears!

In our family cutting Hubby's hair is a family affair. I do the clipping and Bunny girl stands near her Daddy with a tissue to wipe every lock that falls onto his lap. (This is so cute. We never asked her to do this.It's something she thought of doing as a 2 year old and the little ritual continues!) Since Hubby's hair is close cropped I've always found it a struggle to make sure all levels are the same especially while using scissors. I've never used electric clippers though in my heart I knew they were my solution for a perfect haircut. Maybe I was too scared (suppose I shaved off a line of hair...eek!) and for me, scissors were in my comfort zone.

Last month I received an email from a company called Wahl. Personally I didn't know much about the company till I researched it on the Web. Wahl Clipper Corporation
was started in 1911 by high school junior, Leo Wahl. The first product created was an electromagnetic vibrating motor. Since then Wahl has extended its product line to include a strong host of hair cutting products (Any hair cutter's dream come true!):
Wahl sent us a Wahl Color Pro Color Coded Hair Cutting Kit to review....my answer to an unspoken prayer!

Isn't this just the best!

Here's what I love about the Wahl Color Pro:
  • It's a clipper that any person can used. You don't need a trained hand to use these. It's easy-peasy!
  • The guide combs that attach to the clipper are color coded. This makes it easy to identify the comb you need to use, based on how much you actually need to cut. Hubby wanted a short crop, so I used #2, a 1/4th inch cut
  • To shape the hairline around the ears, this clipper has a dedicated comb for each ear- this made the shaping so easy. This has always been one of my struggles-making sure the hairline behind each ear is of equal length and similar shape. I have to confess till the Wahl Color Pro it has never been equal but Hubby has always been forgiving and consoled me that it stays hidden behind his ear!
  • It even has an eyebrow trim guide comb...I'm not bold enough to try this one yet...maybe sometime Hubby has a long holiday...just incase I make a mistake!
  • Thanks to the taper control on the main clipper, you can also customize your cuts.
  • Plus have you seen what all the Wahl Color Pro includes? It's a mini Hair Salon kit literally! My kit includes the Main Clipper, a total of 13 guide combs, a cape to drape around the 'customer' (heh,heh!), hair clips, 3 combs, scissors, a cleaning brush and blade oil.
  • The main clipper has self-sharpening, high carbon steel blades that stay sharp longer.
  • The clipper has a powerdrive cutting system which means you receive 35% more power while cutting. Thereby making the cuts smoother.
  • The Wahl Color Pro comes with a 5 year limited warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee. (I always say a company that is confident about its products will give you a 30 day Money Back guarantee. They know once you try their product, you'll be sold on how well it works for you!)
I wanted to do a 'Before' and 'After' picture but Hubby is not one to pose for the same....so you just have to take my word for it that he has the neatest, well cropped head of hair right now! (wink!)

It sounds crazy but honestly when the Wahl Color Pro came in the mail the first thing I thought was JACKPOT!! I soooo needed this to fuel my love for hair cutting! My Wahl Color Pro is now positively my friend for life...my poor scissors have been given quick premature retirement for good!


Buy it:

The Wahl Color Pro kit (26 pieces) can be bought from the Wahl store for 34.95$ and from Amazon for 29.99$ but here's a deal I found, with a little research....you can buy a 20 piece kit at Target for 19.99$ (Not sure which 6 pieces are missing from the kit.) PLUS you can avail of a 5$ rebate on the kit! (I checked the model number on my box and it is 79300-1001. This model is included in the rebate.)

I would like the Healthy Infusion 2" Straghtner for my hair.
It looks like it would do a great job straightening.
