good enough for sip cuts [SEP] this haircutting set came in a handy zippered case with all the tools that you would need for a decent haircut at home including a haircutting gown however the design of the gown did not allow for easy adjustments the cut out was too big for any of our family members and the strings were only about inches long so they were hard to tie any knot so i could not use the gown at allthe thinning shears worked fine for my sons hair but they sometimes grabbed the hair so maybe i need more practice with these the straight scissors were better than ordinary scissors but sharper scissors were better for thick straight hair i like the utopia care professional scissors the clips that came with the kit were good and strong the haircutting set was useful and good enough for casual stay at home no special occasion cuts
