Flowbee Hoover Haircut

What will they think of next? Forget your average shaver kit that you thought was good enough. I’m here to tell you that it’s not because I have found a vacuum that hoovers your hair to cut it.

I can’t think of a better or more comical way to cut your hair. All you have to do is select which spacers you wish to use depending on the length of your hair, and then attach the spacer to your Flowbee. Hair longer that 6inches is possible with the addition of more spacers available. It can be attached to 90% of hoovers, although you can buy a special Flowbee hoover called the Super Vac that will work perfectly with the Flowbee.

The idea of this hair cutter is hilarious. I think it would make a great gift for dads and granddads as they usually cut their own hair. Watching someone using the Flowbee would be quite funny, definitely one for Christmas.

Cutting hair used to be a hassle. You need to sit the person on a chair, put a towel around their shoulders, cut hair and spray water occasionally. Finally all that needs done is for you to brush up all the hair. With the Flowbee, the hair goes straight into the hoover or super vac, saving you a lot of time and energy or a more precise hair cut!

You may be wondering if it can be used on animals. The answer is yes, only if you purchase a special pet groomer attachment. All pet hair must be washed and brushed before use so it is not matted. Please make sure your pet likes the hoover and also is not smaller than the hoover nozzle. Safety first!

Uh, the flowbee has been around since the mid 80’s, and was heavily advertised right next to the likes of chia-pets and the hair-club for men.

Thanks, now you mention it I do recall seeing adverts for it years ago. I’m pleased to say I don’t think it ever took off here in the UK.

I’ll add it to the retro section

I bought a flowbee back in the 80’s and I am still using it today. I haven’t paid for a hair cut in over 20 years.

I have been using my Flowbee for over 20 years and the only
parts that I have had to replace were the plastic spacers at less than ten bucks. Ibe saved thousands on haircuts…

I’ll probably be a closet Flowbee user because they seem to be the butt of jokes on the web. I’ve heard about them for years, just ordered one from their website today. There are some on Ebay too. My spike haircut is one length and it takes a while but I manage to cut it myself. I hope the flowbee makes cutting my hair simpler and faster. There I have said it out-loud.

Al are you still scared? Come sit by me and hold my hand (kidding Al).
Got my Flowbee and used it. It compares to the electric razor without the mess, with length options. If you used it correctly, you should be pleased.
I read horror stories, one got hair tangled, another looked like the mange. I surmise these unfortunate users didn’t follow directions. Put a couple of drops of their oil on the blades before each use. Barbers do that. Never cut off more than recommended (I think 1/4 or 1/2 inch at a time). You just can’t put a 5 inch pony tail in the thing and expect it to cut a perfect 2 in length, without some serious problems. Cut it several inches long, then cut it a little shorter until you get to the desired length. If you have really long hair to start with, cut some off first with shears.
I love my haircut, it trimmed those few hairs that I didn’t get perfectly cut with shears. And fast, I can keep my hair looking perfectly trimmed by using it every couple of weeks. It was well worth the money.
Hey Flowbee, do you need a spokes person?

Hey, I’m the same way. I have been using one for twenty years mainly ’cause I’m too cheap to pay for haircuts. One nice thing is that when you give it a go, it does not look radically different, like you just had a haircut or something. Just a little shorter and smoother. From time to time when I hear people making fun of Flowbee, I don’t defend it, I just keep my mouth shut and have the last laugh. If my hair looks ragged from time to time, it’s because I was too lazy to cut it, not due to the haircut. The knack is to do it in steps, like the other guy said, and know which length spacer to use, and use the tapered ones on the right sides. You can’t mess it up because it doesn’t let you, really. I can’t imagine the thousands of dollars I’ve saved over the years.

Used 18 years and still going.
$89.00 initial investment
Avoided paying $30 per haircut since then. I figure about 216 of them which would equate to $6480.00. Do the math!!!

Been using the Flowbee for over 20 years and have had no problems other than getting new spacers, just recently. Everyone thinks I go to a girl named Flo. It never looks like I just got a hair cut as I cut it every two weeks. Being in entertainment, I need to always look my best and hair stylists are constantly in and out of the business. That is how it all started, couldn’t get my hair cut when I needed to before a show. Problem solved.

I’ve been using the flowbee for 16 years now and I haven’t had a problem with it at all. I have cut My parents, Sisters, Brothers, Sons, Nephews, Well, My entire family’s hair, And have done so, in many many different styles. Everyone has saved lots of time and Money. I know people that havent used it Make Jokes about the Flowbee. But I dont know what I would do without mine!.

I bought a Flowbee years ago for $70 - which really hurt. But it really has paid for itself many times over. I get a decent haircut every time, I don’t have to drive to and pay a barber, and I get a predictable haircut every time. But I am a closet Flowbee-ist.
