Earlier this year, we received a package from a small business who shares our love for the I/DD community. Unsure how we could share this cool kit, we tucked it away & decided to come back to it later.
Fast forward several months, and I was having a conversation with my aunt who cares for her young grandson (3 yo) who has autism. His beautiful curly hair was getting a tad out of control, but the sound of standard clippers terrified him and the thought of free-cutting his strands invoked images of a terrible haircut (or worse!).
I remembered this package and asked her to see if this worked. The idea is simple - same guards but a different (and silent) cutting mechanism.
A few days later, she called me and shared through her tears that it worked, and EVERYONE enjoyed her grandson’s first haircut.

Thank you for making an “ordinary” haircut so special. While struggles are inevitable, this will no longer be one of them for our family!
