The Guard Labs Fresh Cut Hair Clipper was quick to use for the sides and back, but going around the ears can be tricky if you want to create a fade. The attachments were good, not great because they'd pull the hair if you go too quickly. Overall, it's great for a quick buzz cut, but for style cuts, I'll stick to my Wahl as it's more versatile and offers a greater range of lengths.

The Guard Labs Fresh Cut Hair Clippers are genuinely impressive and have made home haircuts so much easier for our family. I used them on myself and on my son, and with a bit of help from my wife for the harder-to-reach areas on my own head, the results turned out clean and professional-looking. The clippers are extremely easy to operate, even if… Read more

you’re not experienced with cutting hair. Adjusting the settings and swapping between guards is smooth and intuitive, which makes it simple to get the exact length you want without any frustration. The build quality feels solid, the motor runs smoothly, and the blades cut evenly without pulling or tugging. They’re also lightweight enough to use comfortably for longer sessions. Overall, these clippers offer excellent performance, great value, and the convenience of reliable at-home grooming. I would happily recommend them to anyone wanting to save time and money on haircuts.

The ergonomic design is easy to hold on to while I cut my son’s hair. The curved shape allows for a close cut, while also allowing a larger than normal area to be trimmed at one time. This made it quicker and easier to use than standard clippers. So happy with how this cut my sons hair. Show details

The Guard Lab clippers are a very convenient and a great quality little device. I tested it on my sons hair, placing the 12mm comb on first and then I went to town! It didnt 'grab' at any hairs and went through very smoothly, my son has very thick hair and a lot if it! I then tapered down trying to use all combs and then 'neatened' the edges up… Read more

with just the clippers. Now, I am no hairdresser but it looks pretty darn good, if I say so myself. The design of the clippers is what I believe made the job so easy. It fits comfortably in the hand and gives you ultimate control over it, it is easy to clean and small enough that it takes up very little space. It is so easy to use that I even let my 8 year old run it through his own hair!

My husband was sceptical about using Guard Labs Fresh Cut Hair Clipper but after he used it he was 100% convinced! He liked the way it fit into his hand, the smoothness of the overall cut. He was very Impressed and he has already used it twice to freshen up his hair. Highly recommended! Show details

With three males in our household this clipper was exactly what we needed for quick home haircuts. The clipper heads are really easy to swap, which makes changing lengths fast and hassle free.

my son’s hair grows quite fast, so to be given the opportunity to test out the Guard Labs Fresh Cut Hair Clipper for free was a chance i jumped at! the fact that it’s wireless is such an advantage, i don’t have to worry about the cord getting tangled or being close to a power point when i’m using it to cut his hair. it fits comfortably in my… Read more

hand and it’s not as heavy as traditional clippers, so it’s very easy to use. the different length clip-ons allowed me to cut the sides of his hair short, but kept the length on top!

my only issue was the blades are curved so trying to get a precise cut around his ears meant i missed a few hairs, but in the scheme of things, it wasn’t a deal breaker.

it’s quick to charge and has a nice modern look and feel. i would definitely recommend this as an option compared to the traditional corded clippers. this is a solid investment that i will be using for many years to come!

I found the new guard labs product was amazing to use. The piece is curved and wide so it moulds around your head to make the shave extra easy and faster compared to regular clippers. It was very easy to complete by myself and it looked line I had been to the barbers. I will definitely be recommending this product to others. Show details

This Guard Labs Fresh Cut Hair Clipper is fantastic. It is light weight, the battery lasts ages, the blades are sharp and don't clip the skin, the blade is broad and curved which meant a quicker and easier cut and it was so easy to clean.

hand well, he was able to cut his own hair easily. His current clippers are not like that and he can't do his hair himself, so this is a Christmas present to me. The blades are sharp, so we didn't have to go over the area. Even though they are sharp, my partner didn't knick his skin at all. It is a fantastic product that I would highly recommend to anyone.

We were kindly given this set to try in return for our honest review. My husband and I gave these Guard Labs Fresh Cut hair clippers a try, on both my husbands and my son's hair. The unit fits nicely in the hand and is really easy to manouvre. It doesn't pull the hair and the curved blade follows the head contours nicely. It took a bit of getting… Read more

used to but after one cut we were fine with the next. The set comes with 4 different length combs which are enough for the main lengths you could want. Our only negative is that it doesn't come with a bag to keep it all in, but you could just use any pouch lying around the house for it.

I am extremely impressed with Guard Labs fresh Cut hair clipper. I like to have a zero fade on the sides and felt like I needed to visit the barber every two weeks. With the fresh cut clipper I can keep my sides at the perfect length at home with a weekly trim just following the lines. It’s simple and easy to use. The blades are amazing and… Read more

provide a clean cut with ease, no going over the same sections repeatedly.

I was a bit sceptical about a DIY haircut but with a little practice and an extra mirror I could get the perfect cut all round. My son also lets me cut his hair after he saw the amazing results…

Now we always have a fresh cut thanks to Guard labs. I highly recommend this product to anyone that feels they are visiting the barber too often for a clean look.

These clippers come in a very unique curved shape and I was a bit sceptical about it to begin with. When I started using it to cut my husband's hair, he mentioned straight away it felt very smooth. I also noticed that it glided along the hair very well because of the shape and the hair was cut quite evenly. Usually with other devices I have to do… Read more

some touch ups but it was not necessary with this device. As it was curved, it also cuts the hair above the ear very nicely. I was even able to cut my husband's beard to a nice length and the contoured shape fits very well around the jaw line.

I also found that with this device my husband didn't have as much hair on him afterwards. As you're cutting, the hair clumps up together quite well then falls off the clippers, rather than fly off as you're cutting. This definitely made clean up easier!

Only cons were that it doesn't come with a case and the power button is a bit hard to press. But otherwise it's a great product and I'd recommend it!

easy soft glide and its ergonomic design makes it simple to clip hair. I especially like the rounded clipping edge and all of the attachment comb lengths are very useful and completely appropriate for trimming my hair. It seemed to last a long time before needing another charge so I didn’t have to worry about running out off battery. Overall it gives a barber quality finish and even though I don’t have any skills when it comes to cutting hair I was very impressed with how stylish it looks. These clippers have already become part of my regular personal maintenance schedule and are better than any other set that I have bought before. I received the Guard Labs Fresh Cut hair clippers for free from the Home Tester Club, and I have to say that they definitely get my highest recommendation.

home use or travelling. They’re compact, lightweight, and don’t take up much space in the bathroom cupboard.

I used them to shave my 3 year old son’s head, and we all know how tricky haircuts with little ones can be! These clippers were quiet, so he wasn’t scared, and they were really easy to handle. They fit comfortably in the hand and weren’t awkward to use at all.

For his cut, I used a number 2, then switched to a number 1 to tidy around the ears, forehead, and back of the neck. The finish was clean and even.

I highly recommend these clippers,they’re a fantastic, reliable shaver that we’ll definitely keep using. Please see the attached video and photos for the results!

I just gave myself the quickest haircut of my life with the Fresh Cut Hair Clipper (having received it as a member of Home Tester Club), and it genuinely felt like I was running a very confident, slightly overcaffeinated lawnmower across my head. The curved design actually helps it slide around the noggin, even if my first attempt landed somewhere… Read more

between “respectable” and “mate, you missed a spot”. The curve does take a moment to figure out, but once you do, it zips along so fast you wonder if you should’ve worn a seatbelt.

Precision isn’t its strongest suit on day one, but the speed is outrageous in the best way. It chews through the thicker bits without a hiccup, which is more than I can say for a few expensive clippers that nearly tapped out on me. Cleanup is quick, handling becomes second nature, and the whole thing feels so efficient it’s almost suspicious. With a bit more practice, I can see it becoming the go to tool for anyone who wants a tidy, low effort cut without booking an appointment or engaging in mandatory barber small talk.

​I recently used the Guard Labs Fresh Cut Clipper on my husband and son, and while it took a second to get used to the unique grip, I didn't enjoy how small and convenient it is. It practically fits in your palm, making the whole process much easier. Plus, the rechargeability and great attachments are a bonus for quick, tidy cuts. … Read more

​Performance-wise, the clippers worked really well; they glided smoothly without any snagging, and the battery easily handled both haircuts, so no complaints there. My main takeaway is that this clipper is best for simple, all-over, one-length cuts. My husband has a more complex style, and trying to use this for detail or intricate work was a struggle, particualrly for him to try and do it himself. But for anyone needing a super compact, powerful tool for basic trims or buzz cuts, this is a winner

Not a bad little unit at all. The hand-feel is nice and comfortable and it functions pretty well, giving a smooth and clean shave. Time will tell if it holds up, but I would recommend it aside from the oiling up of the blades, which is a little annoying. Overall, I'm a fan and will continue using. Show details

The Guard Labs Fresh Cut Hair Clipper performs the basics very well. With the aid of the included combs it can trim hair in 4 different lengths, and it does this pretty easily.

found the round shape a bit jarring compared to a more traditional design, but was able to get used to it quickly and, to tell the truth, it does feel more comfortable and ergonomic in the hand. It also has a nice weight to it

It executes the basics well. Yes, I'd love a couple of extra guard combs for longer hair, and yes it does miss that little "half step" adjustment that many other clippers have - but if you're after an easy, quick and comfortable clip, and are willing to trade a bit more customisability for ease of use, then you should take a good look at this product

Hubs hasn't been to a hairdresser in years and was able to to run over his head by himself without leaving too many patches. Once a week I give what little hair he has left a 'fade' and that's where these clippers lose a star: there is no 'zero' comb and for men who are not quite ready for a skin shave (i.e. no guard great for neck trim) the absence of this comb would be a deal breaker.

They are though, perfect for boys cut as they plow through the hair and don't cut the skin

When i first went to use this on my kids, I found it felt quite junky but upon using, it is actually a very sharp little cutter. My kids liked it because it was very quiet and didnt freak them out like the big clippers do. They gave a beautiful hair cut and this will definitely be the only clippers I use on them going forward. Show details

Serviceable Clippers I really liked the clippers from Guard Labs, the design felt good to hold ergonomically and had a decent cut. I really liked the curved blade and how easy it was to clean, and that it felt powerful. However, I wish it was a bit more universal in how you can use it, and wish it gave a better cut.

both of us. The size of the blade is big and curved because of which this makes the entire hair cutting process quick and easy.

Only the down side I observed was when I was cleaning the blade after the cut. Small hairs get stuck in between blade and the body which do not get off easily just by running water. You have to use a brush to clean properly. But other than that, I am very happy with the clipper and ai would highly recommend it.
