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
fingersbut 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 thatit 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'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!

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.
