Don't get nicked-get Nicky's hair clipper

Advantages: Much Cheaper than the hairdressers!
Disadvantages: DIY! Messy hairs clogging the combs/attachments!

...SHEEEZ......! After spending what was for me, an almighty small fortune in Boots the other day I was handed a nice little free £10.00 voucher to spend from a choice of 4 different electrical products to spend in store -yah only 4.... and guess what was the second cheapest thing on offer? Yep,that's right-a "Nicky Clarke's Mains Hair Cutting set. " For men, naturally. As both my other half and my youngest son have their hairs clipped ultra short I thought it time to update aswell as upgrade our old clapped out clippers that are frankly-worse than nothing. So....INTRO FIRST ...... >>>>>> WHO IS NICKY CLARKE ? <<<<<<<< You would have to be from another planet or living in solitary confinement to not know or hear of Nicky Clarke. He's quite a well known hairdresser both in the media and his...

Review of Nicky Clarke Hair Clippers

WHERE IS MY HAIR

Advantages: There are only a few days between a good and a bad haircut
Disadvantages: There are a few days between a good and a bad haircut

...PLEASE NOTE UPDATED REVIEW I submitted this review under my previous membership name of Karen1203 so please do not r/r/c if you did previously ? short update on product at the end of review. My husband, Denis, spotted a pair of Marks & Spencer hair clippers, when we were out shopping a couple of weeks ago. They were priced at £25. For some unknown reason, (probably his aversion to parting with hard-earned cash to a hairdresser), he is always asking me to trim his hair for him, but this is something I have refused to do since I cut it one year when we were on holiday in Spain and he had to wear a cap until we got home. ?They?d be great for you to use on me, he insisted, you couldn?t go wrong with them; they have different settings to give an even cut all over" he assured me. "Just think they will have paid for themselves in less...

Clipper Organic Tea A Refreshing Change

Advantages: Refreshing
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I drink lots and lots of different types of tea and always try new varieties when I see them available at my local supermarket. I stumbled upon this particular gem however when I was visiting an old friend. It had been a particularly hot day and she decided to have a cup of herbal tea as she thought that it would be a little bit more refreshing. I have tried several types of herbal teas over the years with varied results as I find that some of them smell gorgeous however end up tasting like disinfectant, however I spotted a little green pack in the cupboard which I had not come across before. The name of the product to give it its full title is Clipper pure green tea. I decided that I would give the item a try as I am rather partial to green tea. Apparently it was purchased at Asda for around £1 unfortunately my friend couldn't actually...

Review of Clipper Tea Organic Green Tea Bags

This is the best Hair Clipper on the Market!!

Advantages: The professional looking hair cut you get
Disadvantages: none

...If, like me, you have been searching for those hair clippers that give a professional look and a professional finish well look no more! I have tried various types of clippers over the years, all in an attempt to get away with having to go to the barbers every fortnight and therefore saving some money and some of my free time, not the mention the nagging feeling whenever im in the barber's chair that really I could and should be doing this myself - I mean im only there for about 10 mins at a time yet have to hand over a tenner for the pleasure!! The previous models I have had used in fairness done a decent job, but were never great. You know the situation - you are off out with the lads on a friday night but leave work late so are not able to goto the barbers beforehand. However, this was never going to be a permanent thing and I...

Review of Remington SCC100

Easy and cheap cut at home

Advantages: even easy cut, good value for money
Disadvantages: none to report yet

...I got this for my partner because, quite frankly, I was sick of him stealing the scissors and my razors at home! This clipper is a good product and I would always reccomend something from the babyliss range - call me a sucker for brands but I have never had a problem with the make when buying products before. The overall appearance isn't the typical appearance to clippers, at least not ones I've seen before but just like it says on the tin my partner found them easy to use and hold. Straight from the box the clippers use "Unique circular blade technology for multi directional cutting" which seem to make a massive differents than a pair of scissors giving the cut a nice and even appearance. The product is rechargable and comes with the mains equipment for corded use or uncorded, whichever you prefer! The results look very...

Review of BaByliss For Men Easy Cut hair Rechargeable Clipper 7435U

Possibly the best freeze dried coffee - Clipper Organic Coffee

Advantages: Ethical, good taste, available in all major supermarkets. Doesn't turn into Mud!
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive but worth it!

...Coffee has to be a staple product found in any normal kitchen cupboard. Instant coffee is used the world over and any trip down to your local supermarket will see an aisle full of different varieties giving the buyer far too much choice! Now I am a coffee fiend and I do love my daily freshly ground coffee routine using my espresso machine, however sometimes you just want something quick and easy so this is where my love for Clipper comes in! Clipper Most people will be aware of Nescafe, Gold Blend, Kenco etc but I doubt many of you have heard of Clipper. Part of the Clipper Teas company, Clipper provide a number of coffee varieties including a decaffeinated range. This review shall focus upon the original Clipper organic coffee. Clipper is a fairtrade provider of teas and coffees and all ingredients are fully organic to ensure...

Review of Clipper Organic Fairtrade Freeze-Dried Arabica Coffee

Bowling Ball Sir

Advantages: Quick, Cheerfull and cheap.
Disadvantages: You do not get chatted up in the Hairdressers!

...Nicky Clark is a Professional Hairdresser with more hair than an Afghan, why he would promote these clippers is beyond me. ~~ Hair Yesterday There was a time when a comb got stuck in my hair. Thirteen years old and my Music teacher asked all the boys if they actually owned a comb. In her eyes it was fairly obvious no boy in her class owned one let alone knew how to use one. At least seven Mozart impersonators in class B5 and she was right, although we would never have admitted it. There was a time, when Brylcream shone in my hair and destroyed my Grandmothers old-fashioned chair covers. Well I was 15 and had just watched Grease at the pictures. What a lovely smell that stuff had, especially with a dash of “Old Spice” on the hairless chin! There was a time when my girlfriend (now wife) was overzealous...

Review of Nicky Clarke Hair Clippers

Something For The Weekend Sir.

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Not really any

...A little brush for cleaning cutters 1 small bottle of oil A booklet on the secrets of clipper cutting and finally the all important instruction manual The box also contained a bottle of Nicky Clarke Hair Thickening Shampoo . It was with a little trepidation that my son slid onto the hot seat and let me loose. To be honest I don’t know who was most nervous. I got more confident as I went on and my son was delight with the results. After the first time when I realised I couldn’t remove all their hair by accident I felt a lot happier. Now even my husband who for years had what Lorraine Kelly affectionately refers to as a” pedal bin haircut” you know the kind the lid that blows up in the wind allows me to give him a number 3. Which I have to say is a great improvement. Now that I have been using this product...

Review of Nicky Clarke Hair Clippers

Great for short thin hair

Advantages: Heat very quickly
Disadvantages: Unable to cope with my thick hair

...I bought these recently as I cannot live without my older larger plated GHD's and thought that these would be a handy alternative. They do heat in under 3 seconds and have the same excellent ceramic plates as the larger version, however I found them very time consuming. I have very thick hair about shoulder length and unlike their larger cousins they were unable to straighten as effectively . On saying that they were brilliant on my fringe. I would recommend these to anyone with shorter or thin hair. A fashion conscientious male friend of mine used these and loved them and were perfect for his short hair. I would recommend using the straightening oil with these as they are very hot and I did find a few burnt strands of hair ....
