With an autistic child and a boyfriend that has practically no hair (he often shaves his head) it seems pointless to pay for haircuts. CT has a hard time dealing with the salon environment and has short hair and Dominick usually just needs a shave, which I can handle without a problem. Shopping for professional hair care items can be a daunting task though. If you’re not a beautician you will notice that most brands claim to be the top of the heap and it’s hard for the average consumer to know the difference between what’s good and what’s substandard.

While I may not have known the best of the best, I did know that Wahl was a respected name in professional hair products. When they approached us about this holiday review, I was thrilled to accept because my latest set of clippers didn’t work out as well as I would have hoped.

The Wahl Deluxe Chrome Pro set comes in a nice case with all of the tools needed to cut hair properly. All in all, the set offers 27 pieces including clippers, a mirror, combs, clips, scissors, cordless trimmer, and the main corded clipper. This is just a small sample of what you receive in the case. In addition to this there is an instruction manual in case you are confused or need some extra help getting things going. Best of all, the instruction manual offers instructions on how to cut hair, allowing you to provide stylish cuts at home.
Where the clippers are concerned, one of my favorite features is the contoured grip. With past clippers I have found that my hand occasionally cramps up. This isn’t a problem with the Wahl clippers because the clippers form more to the hand and make it easier to cut hair for longer periods of time. This is especially nice if you have more than one person to cut. You can just line them up and go at.

The corded clippers offer Wahl’s PowerDrive Cutting System. If you’re cutting thick hair this system will come in handy because it cuts thick hair with ease compared to other clippers. In the past, when cutting thick hair I’ve noticed pulling and tugging can be a problem. With the Wahl I haven’t noticed this problem and the overall cutting process with thick hair also seems to go faster and smoother, leaving little complaints for the person cutting hair and the person getting a haircut.

The clippers are perfect for cutting hair of various lengths and thickness, but when it comes to trimming the back of the neck or doing anything related to facial hair, the mini-trimmer is perfect. This little trimmer is almost a smaller mirror image of the clippers, but without a cord. It gets the job done nicely without any fuss.

For the $40 price tag I would have easily recommended this if it just included the corded clippers and the mini-trimmer. The inclusion of all of the other products and gadgets just ice the cake. Prior to receiving this for review, I would have never considered recommending this for a gift, but after using it, if you know someone that would like it, the Wahl is definitely worth every penny.

You can pick one of these up at most local retailers, including Target and Wal-Mart or you can check for it online at Amazon.com.
