The Silent Haircutting Kit for Children with Autism and Sensory Sensitivity, Right-Handed

I’ve added two “before” pics to show how wild my son’s hair was before his cut and then his after pic! By no means was it perfect and I definitely cut it shorter on top than I had planned, but it was so effortless for me to do this haircut and so easy for my little guy. The hardest part was getting him to sit still at the end to do the final “edge” around ears, back of neck, etc. I ended up just doing that another day when he would sit better. Overall this cut took me probably less than 30 mins and that was with cleanup. I actually doubled the guard length for the top of his hair but somehow it still came out almost as short as the sides. It may have been the way I was holding the scissors when cutting so next time I will try to go a little slower with the top so I can keep it a little longer. This is a great product though and perfect for little ones with sound sensitivities or anxiety over hair salons!Also want to add, when I received the order a guard was broken so I emailed the company. They got back to me the same day and said they would mail a replacement guard along with an extra pair of scissors as a gift. Great customer service!

My order of these clippers came today and I have already used them! That being said, if anything changes with the clippers I will edit my review. These clippers are more quiet than the larger, standard clippers. They are smaller and more lightweight which makes it easier to cut my son’s hair. The fact that they don’t have a cord is also a huge pro. My son threw them on the ground and they didn’t break or anything. They only come with a few size guards. The longest being a little less than 1/2” so if you like your kids hair longer than that these probably aren’t for you. The scissors have longer guards but I haven’t tried those yet. I just wanted to let you in on my super hack for kids that struggle with hair cuts. I put my son in the bathtub and ran the water while cutting. He couldn’t hear the clippers over the water and he was busy playing with the water faucet to notice what I was doing. Complete game changer! Also the clean up was a breeze. It says you can use them on wet hair but I will only use them dry. So far great product!

Purchased these so I could cut my son’s hair myself. We’ve tried going to a salon and getting a professional haircut but he did not want to sit still. These give me the opportunity to cut his hair effectively while he is still comfortable. No noise. Lightweight. Very good quality.

They seem to work just fine. There is a learning curve for sure as it is easier to get the hair stuck in these guards if kiddo pulls away than when using a razor. My kiddo is VERY sensitive and even hates having his hair combed. I was hoping this would solve all of our haircut problems, but it definitely didn’t. Honestly, I think his first cut with these was worse because it was different and therefore scary. However, I’m hoping that if we keep easing into them, eventually it will become easier. Also, my kiddo is a fighter and continually tries to push the scissors away. I accidentally cut his finger when it got in the way and felt absolutely terrible. If you have a very sensitive kiddo, definitely take LOTS of time easing them into the change.

The scissors work really well and allowed us to finish cutting our sound sensitive sons hair easily after using the electric clipper.

They are awesome with cutting hair for kids and the noise level doesn’t even bother or scare the little one while cutting hair. It’s smooth and don’t pull when shaving the little one’s hair to we’re they feel comfortable while cutting their hair. The shaver is really easy to clean but the oil was a little hard to open and the oil doesn’t have no lid to close the oil. Very durable tho

My son has 4C African-American hair and has a fade. The calming scissors combo thing is a non-starter for us. That simply does not work with 4C hair. However, the clippers were not bad at all. It doesn’t make a loud buzzing sound but it does vibrate which my kid didn’t like. If your kid has a fade you’ll still need additional assistance for example a straight razor and/or more professional clippers. So if your barber is as skillful as mine is (if you don’t know what you’re doing you’re child can get cut badly with the straight razor), you can start with a straight razor and then use these clippers to assist. We still needed to use a professional grade clipper (we use the JRL brand because it is MUCH quieter than all the professional brands) but my barber said these she’d continue to use these calming clippers with my son. We begin with the straight razor because there’s no sound at all and it keeps him calm then graduate to these calming clippers then finish off with the professional clippers. The combination seems to get a good fade and a calmer child.

I love the idea of these. They are easy to assemble and very straightforward. However, the scissors were very dull. They would pull the hair and cause my son pain rather than cutting. Also, the guards have the name “scaredy cat” on them. I find that name to be somewhat offensive to people that struggle with getting haircuts due to ASD (I’m not taking that into account in my review- I know there is a pet version. But maybe it would be smart to rebrand the guards for humans?)The customer service team has been wonderful to work with!
