I'm considering doing my own haircuts for a classicly top-balding head. Will these work ok? Also, can I finsh with a sharp edge trim at sideburn, etc?

Being challenged in the hair dept. I can tell you these work great. By far the best pair of clippers I have ever owned and that includes corded models. It does not have anything for a sharp edge I just use my regular razor for that.

I am going bald as well and I have been cutting my own hair for a long-time. I like Conair because I can use it with cord or without cord. Also, it works for me--I don't have much hair to cut. It gives me a nice and even cut. As far as sideburns go, It may work, although I have not use it for that purpose.

Please, do yourself a favor and just use scissors, a single blade personal trimmer, or something of that nature to trim your eyebrows. While this could possibly have the potential to trim eyebrow hair, I doubt that it would be easy, let alone quick. I would also think you would have to try and work each hair into the blades as they are slanted and you just might grab a few more than you intended to. Seems like it would be too time consuming and unpredictable, but that's just my opinion. Use your best judgment...

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work.Thanks,Aaron

ok, i just went and bought one at target and when you take the adjustable attachment off, you can trim pretty low. you shouldn't be able to cut yourself doing this unless you are REALLY dumb. i want to stress that you can't cut yourself doing this unless you try to actually cut yourself. you will get a nice low trim, like a 5 o'clock shadow look/ low stubble.

It won't cut as close as a good shaver, but it cuts closer than any trimmer that I've ever owned. Note that it will take more passes to trim your entire head since the cutting area is only 1-1/8" wide, and will not follow the contours of your head since it will not flex (as will a shaver). I don't shave my head, but it does a great job around sideburns and around the neckline. I would buy this trimmer again for my uses.

These are professional trimmers that are use by many barbers. They are very good for trimming the shape ups and outlines on a persons head. That being said if he has the skills for shaping up then yes. But these are not for beginners you must know he to use them.

They are good for fades but I still use my osters for tight fade. They come with standard 1-8 size guards but not blend guard. I have so many old sets it didn't matter. Clippers a smooth and quiet. Worth the money.

yes it will be decent for balding his head. if you want to get super skin tight i suggest the wahl 5 star balding clipper. These designers wont be to great at lining up a beard either , you should get the wahl detailers for lining up his beard.

No problems with sharpness of edges...I would definitely return them if someone would get cut!!!

When I bought the curlers my hair was down to my shoulders and they worked fine. Since then I had my hair layer-cut to my chin area and they still work on the sides but must carefully put on prongs to hold all the hair in. It gives a bouffant look but then I finish my hair off with my curling iron and it's perfect.

I have long hair, however, I believe they will work well on shorter hair. I use them on my bangs and they work well to add some fullness to them.

Definitely,I been wearing a bald head for 16 yrs and that's the only way I can shave is with clippers due to sensitive skin, The Andis GTX, cuts smooth, precise and clean, due to the powerful motor it's even quick, highly recommended

I didn't use them. I threw it away, the quality of the hair was horrible. ...but to answer your QA, u start with the 2 clips on the bottom the 3...3...the the longest in the middle.

These will give the close shave bald look. I don't have a bald head but I've cut a few and these clippers made my job a lot easier

Yes, these are useful for men's grooming. In fact, when I cut my husband's hair I always trim his eyebrows. These are a safe way to do this because of the safety tips. And they are sharp enough to use on people hair.

Hi Idlewood, I too am a non professional home groomer. After reading many blogs and watching many videos I think using combs is in many ways safer than a bare blade which heats up and burns the skin if not cooled often. If your clipper comes with combs, try to not buy a set which has all the sizes you get with the clipper. Ive used these combs and like them very much. They are put on opposite from the combs I'd used in the past.
