m...@aol.com (Melanie) wailed loudly and vomited the words:
Up late last night and watching a "fun things around town" sort of show
produced by a local news channel, I saw a piece on a new haircutting product
that is supposedly the greatest new thing in the industry. Frankly, it scared
me a little bit. Okay, a lot.
This gadget (or set of gadgets!) is called "the clawz" if memory serves, and it
consists of eight plastic tips that are worn on the tips of the stylist's
fingers––but not thumbs–– and there are razors on the end of each tip. There
is a plastic casing around the edges so they aren't deadly!
They showed the stylist running her hands through the brave client's hair at
top speed and all I could think of was Edward Scissorhands. There didn't seem
to be any method to it other than that–––it was totally messy and random and
incredibly fast, but they said the whole staff was trained for two weeks on how
to use these things. I suppose that really all it does is texturize but it
looked awfully scary.
i'd never heard of them til now: http://www.lyko.se/clawz.htm

Wow, a whole two weeks of training on how to swish razor blade fingers around
someone's head!
I've never heard of these. They sound scary to me too, Melanie! –– Beckie

first cut can look great but when you love it, these types of devices make
it impossible to repeat what you did last time.....so there is no second cut
same as the first.......just think about it........but if you like thinned
out hair and different results each time you get a cut they can be
great....just no way to take a 1/2 inch (a month's worth) off all the same
hair as last time......

Very good point! I am going for hair closer to all one length and my hair
doesn't need to be thinned out, so I won't be trying them anytime soon anyway.
I just was curious about 'em!

I'm almost done with growing out my layers so I can't imagine that they'd work
on me, but I'm curious to know if anyone has seen these used or gone under the
Clawz themselves!

Sounds almost as bad as the guy I saw years ago on "What's My Line"; he
"cut" hair using fire. He even demonstrated it. Thank God there was no
smellovision.

I saw this on TV a couple weeks ago, too. I assumed everyone already knew
about it except me, because I generally stay away from razors (even though
they're used pretty often now) and my stylist knows it. I see what Robert
means about it. Seems very haphazard.
