Strange Products: The Haircut Umbrella
February 11th 2010 by Dr.MOZ in Strange Products
Running out of clever ways to humiliate the kids? Fear not parents, the Haircut Umbrella is now available at Taylor Gifts for only $7.98! Features include blue polyester and…um, compact storage. Finally, something that will look almost as dorky as the haircut you’ll give
them while standing over 2 feet away!
Have fun and stay healthy,
Dr.MOZ

Haha, that’s actually pretty neat cause then you would not have to sweep anymore. Might be a little uncomfy though.

This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen since the flowbee, which a friend from Montana actually owns. He actually had the math figured out on how many haircuts it would take to recoup his investment!

Interesting design, but it is also relatively cheap price

Reminds me of those collars they give to dogs to stop them licking their wounds!

This is just too funny. If I tried to put that contraption on my kids before giving them their haircut I might never get the job done. Plus I am too short in the arms to reach around that thing all the time. No thanks I’d rather sweep!

@ Rob and Lucy – I could see how using this with kids would be a lot like trying to take your cat to the vet. You might need a thick beach towel to prevent blood loss.

It really is funny and the picture is hilarious.
To be honest, I like it. It’s cheap and very practical. The kid does not look very good wearing it, but as I said, it gets the job done without much mess. Thanks for letting me know.

Absolutely hilarious product – plus a brilliant idea too – I can’t wait for it to make it to the UK!

Thats hilarious, that kids gonna hate you for the rest of there lives lol. Can you imagine your friends walking in when we were his age and seeing that contraption around your neck? Scarred for life lol…. When they get a little older they might appreciate it more.

It is cool and funny! I cut my son’s hair myself. I always cut his hair and have a shower immediately. This umbrella is useful in a barbershop where boys do not need to have a shower immediately after their hair cut.

That is hilarious but it does actually make sense. I’m sure they will sell a lot of them, especially as they are just $7.98.

Lovely! I had always thought of something like this.
Hey Dr, install the ‘WordPress related posts’ plugin here. That will show some related posts from your blog and it will help you retain visitors. Also the ‘tell a friend’ sharing plugin is boring, there are many better looking ones.
If possible also install the ‘subscribe to comment reply by email’ plugin.

Although this looks like it is a practical and useful product, it also looks like that kid is an alien. When this kid gets older, he is going to hate his parents for making him the poster child for the haircut umbrella.

WOW, THE CHILD LOOKS SCARED

Funny, this is something I could use when I cut my own hair with clippers. I usually just hang upside down over an old towel.

The kid also looks pretty ridiculous – how lazy do people get?
