Move over Johnny Depp – there’s a new Edward Scissorhands in town! Valentino LoSauro, a London-native operating a salon in Florida, has created devices that he says cut hair twice as fast as normal scissors. The device: little shears that attach to his hands making him look like a real-life Edward Scissorhands. The ‘CLAWZ‘ were born as a simple idea to bring a certain type of musicality to his hair styling.
Being a pianist, LoSauro wasn’t foreign to using his fingers. Now he’s just using them to cut hair instead of replicating piano masters like Beethoven or Bach. The music that inspired him is still important to his new hair cutting process. When he styles and cuts hair, some of the methods are named after famous works, like Flight of the Bumble Bee and Zap.
The prototype took years to develop and cost nearly $250,000 but eventually the CLAWZ became a reality and he was able to market them to other stylists. LoSauro patented these CLAWZ in 2001 and has sold 30,000 units so far. He cuts and styles with them, and has even done some celebrities’ hair with the CLAWZ, like Ritchie Sambora from the band Jon Bovi.
They might look funny but they get the job done! What do think? Would you like to have your hair cut by a real-life Edward Scissorhands? Hairstylists and hair design school students – would you give these CLAWZ a shot?
