Getting a haircut can be a hassle. Afterall, have you seen the prices lately? And then there is always a chance it won’t turn out the way we think it should. My thoughts come back to the saying, if you want to do it right, do it yourself.

SPECTRUM BRANDS offers many haircutting kits to achieve great results at home.

The REMINGTON PRECISION 200 (HC-8017B) is a corded model that comes with an 18 piece kit including a left/right taper combs, 6 guide combs, blade cover, salon styled scissors, styling comb, 3 sectioning clips, neck brush, cleaning brush, storage case and instruction book. I like the fact that the motor is very quiet and that the blades never need oiling. I have had good results with this unit and with the durable hard shell case it comes with, it should last for many years.

I also tried the REMINGTON NO-MESS HKVAC-2000 18 piece Haircut Kit. This unique corded model features a built-in vacuum with a hair collection compartment. No more messy haircuts with this machine. It does a pretty good job collecting hair as it cuts and empties easily. This unit comes with long lasting titanium-coated blades that do not require oiling.

I had an associate try the REMINGTON PRECISION PRO 300 (HC-921) with a 21 piece haircutting kit. He dreaded cutting his hair because of uneven cutting and inefficiency of his previous machine. This corded unit did such a great job that he actually enjoyed giving himself a haircut. It came out even and just the way he wanted. 
The precision-ground titanium blades provide a smoother cut with less pulling. It has an ergonomic design for easy handling. The motor produces 3600 cuts per minute with reduced noise and vibration. The extra long 10 foot cord makes it easy to use. (800) 736-4648; www.spectrumbrands.com
