Customer Reviews of Wahl 79524-500 Chrome Pro 24-Piece Complete Haircut Kit
Customer Review: Better than I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
The kit features a handy set of accessories which make taking a haircut easy. I didn't really pay much attention to each of the 24 pieces when I ordered it. Some of them were new to me and I didn't know what they were for by name. But once I received the kit I realized their usefulness.
The clipper feels of good quality. It's a bit heavy, but I suppose this helps counteract vibration (more inertia to stay still). It comes with a quick haircut guide that has proven useful for typical haircuts.
It's easy to use. My mom takes my haircuts and so far the quality of the haircuts has been very similar to going to the barber. My mom is no professional taking haircuts. In fact, the 1st time she tried taking one with "scissors only" I had to go to the barber immediately just to get my hair fixed.
So that gives you an idea of how simple it is to use. But don't expect good results without work. Remember to take your time and don't rush it, always plan what you will do. You will also have to use the scissors at the end to patch it up here and there, this is normal.
Remember the barber does all this too, but usually we are distracted doing something else (like reading/talking) instead of actually paying attention to the whole process.
Cons: Cleaning the hair from the trimmer and floor when I'm done.
Customer Review: A Barber I Ain't, Until Now!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really got tired of the hassel of going for a hair cut, sitting around in the barber shop waiting for your turn, just to have the guy spend 10 minutes with clippers and $18 plus tip later, you're done, until next month. My haircuts are pretty simple, the barber put on a #4 comb for the sides and #6 comb for the top and then did a little sissors work around the ears to make me feel like I was getting my monies worth. I decided to buy the best professional clippers I could find and have my wife do the deed. This has worked fantastically. I have even taken over the job of giving myself a haircut. Once you know which combs to attached for your length desired, zip zip you are done! This Wahl ChromePro is the same unit my Barber has and it works great, it has more accessories than you could ever use. I was pleasently surprised at how inexpensive this clippers was ($31). This clipper has paid for itself many times over. It is a little heavy, but I think that gives you more control, very quiet with minimal vibration. The quality is outstanding and the performance is even more impressive. This ChromePro was a great investment.Customer Review: Great product, good buy, pays for itself in 2-3 cuts
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember my father cutting my hair when I was young. I vaguely remember if he had a clipper. With an electric clipper like this, life is so much easier and it saves money too. I do know now, that it is great for fathers to cut the hairs of their sons. I now cut my two sons hair and my wife cuts mine. It takes awhile getting use to. Put it this way, "Every cut is an adventure!" More importantly, every cut is a well cherished bonding time with your family. Oh, buy a different comb. The ones that comes with the kit are ok but you'll need a wider one, preferably lighter color so you can tell which is hair vs comb bristle. Also, buy a better pair of hair shears. Expect to spend more for good quality scissors. Lastly, I recommend a better barber's cape, neck tissue, and horse tail brush to get the pesky hair off your child's face. The brush is a good tool to apply powder afterwards. I know my sons love the powder part of the haircut. I did too when I was their age.Customer Review: Great clippers, just be sure to read the instructions

These clippers will handle anything a home user will need...and more. It has the power and machining for a clean and fast cut.
MADE IN THE U.S.A. - which is getting harder to come by these days.
For the user who mentioned the clipper is too loud, it probably just needs to be adjusted. From the Wahl website: "...To adjust power (tune), turn the power screw in a clockwise direction until you hear a noise. Then, slowly turn the power screw out (counter-clockwise) until the noise stops...."
Being able to adjust a trimmer is a benefit: Clippers that can't be adjusted probably won't hold up to long term use and won't perform as well as those can be be tuned. So, when you get your clipper, follow the relatively simple instructions for cleaning, oiling, and adjustment and your clippers will last for years with professional results.
Customer Review: Great Value

I read some of the other reviews prior to purchasing this item.I am unsure of why someone would complain about these clippers. I realize that the type of hair people have varies and may make a difference in performance. However,I am very pleased with the performance of these clippers and glad that I bought them.For $30 bucks including delivery you can't really beat that deal.The same clippers at Sally's Beauty Supply were $54.99 + tax.I am glad that I bought them and would buy them again.
