Product Description

My name is Joshua Esnard, and I am a Black inventor of haircut and grooming tools. I was born in the tiny but beautiful Caribbean country named Saint Lucia. My first patent idea came along when I was just 13 years old. After many attempts to cut my own hair and as an untrained teenager, I was highly unsuccessful! Given this problem, I tapped into my creative side and invented a lining stencil guide which later became The Cut Buddy Hair and Beard Shaping Tool.
The Cut Buddy went viral in 2016 and is currently in over a million homes. It has been featured in Black Enterprise, HGTV, Forbes, GQ, NPR: How I Built This, HGTV Self Made, we even got to pitch our idea on Shark Tank in Season 9.
For too long the haircut industry has needed innovation around the multicultural consumer! We all have different hair and different needs!
As a company, The Cut Buddy aims to address the wider issue of creating affordable products and kits that make cutting and styling your hair or a family members hair easy. I understand your struggle. I have had braids, waves, afro, ingrown hairs, facial hair and bald hair styles! I have tested and used almost every product out there for hair and skin. That is why my heart is close to your experience and to your particular struggle. I was you at one point in my life.
Our products will include shaping guides, clippers, trimmers, shavers, and other accessories to make a home haircut easy! We also look to release body butters, oils, and washes in the near future.
We are very much still that struggling teenage inventor at heart, but we are quickly growing into a research company for the multicultural haircut industry.

The Cut Buddy Shaping Tool - The first patented shaping tool

Joshua Esnard is the original inventor and patent holder of the “Hair Grooming Guide.” Since early 2016, this industry has really exploded! I was actually only 13 years old when I originally invented The Cut Buddy by accident since I was sick of my father’s haircuts and couldn’t afford to go to the barbershop. Fifteen years later I patented my idea and here we are!
Why is The Cut Buddy the great? It is PATENTED with MULTIPLE expertly-designed and tested curves and lines to give you maximum possibilities to achieve the best cut possible. It also minimizes and eliminates beard and hair shaping mistakes!
I worked with an engineer for NASA and the Air Force to provide you with three specially-designed and patented curves that MORE THAN 1 MILLION CUSTOMERS have LOVED.
I invented this tool because I was YOU! When I was 13 years old, I didn’t have the money or the time to get to my barber or salon as often as I would like. I had to cut my own hair if I wanted to look as great as my friends who had the money and time for the barber!
You can follow my story the story of The Cut Buddy in GQ, Forbes, Black Enterprise, NPR's How I Made This podcast, Heavy and on NBC’s Today Show and on ABC’s Shark Tank!

How To Use The Cut Buddy Original or The Cut Buddy PLUS+ Edition

Troubleshooting
If you have trouble holding the product while trimming or shaving, try out our Speed Tracer Barber Pencils to trace the lines before cutting your hair. Many of our customers find this to be easier since it frees up their hands and they can simply cut along the lines they have drawn rather than having to hold the product steady against their face.

The cut buddy will save you money in the long run but you have to be patient to get over the learning curve. Lol
What I struggled with was holding the cut buddy as it was a little hard to bend. Also, it was difficult to get behind my ears and back of head. So I ended up cutting those spots by free-hand.
With more practise, I hope to get better at it and provide an update.

The cut buddy will save you money in the long run but you have to be patient to get over the learning curve. Lol
What I struggled with was holding the cut buddy as it was a little hard to bend. Also, it was difficult to get behind my ears and back of head. So I ended up cutting those spots by free-hand.
With more practise, I hope to get better at it and provide an update.

Pros:
- *most* of the body is transparent, which allows to see where the cut line will be and the amount of hair beneath the line.
- White pencil included (although it's not that useful as the whole idea is to use the plastic as a guide for the razor/shaver).
- Several cutting guides offered.
Cons:
- Flimsy design. The acrylic plastic is really thin and not very sturdy (mine came cracked out of the box).
- The black handle is not completely bonded to the transparent part, its just screwed in (2 screws) which allows for hair to get in between.
- Not clear instructions on how to use some of the guides (some seem a bit unnecessary).
There are similar options on Amazon made out of thicker plastic and at a *third* of the price of this item.
Then its confusing as hell which side am I using for what. Hairline. Beard line, mustache, etc. Its literally trial and error with this thing. I even went to the supplied website and the instructions and videos were minimally helpful. Would be better if they numbered the edges like clipper guards and then supplied a print out on what number to use on which area of the face.
Im industrious so I've made it kinda work but it is not user friendly to non professional barbers.

Poor build quality. Awkward To use.
As I only wanted a straight edge, I dug wan ole 6inch plastic rule out of the draw. Does the Job far better.

Save your money, do it yourself or see a barber.
