When George Clooney mentioned on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that he'd been cutting his own hair during the COVID-19 pandemic with a device called a Flowbee, many didn't believe it. But Clooney’s shoutout has made the 1980s hair appliance hot again. The device is a hair trimmer that hooks up to a vacuum cleaner. It’a popularity peaked during the 1980s, but it’s now making a comeback. With so many barbers and hair salons closed during the pandemic, people are turning to the Flowbee to cut their own hair. #InsideEdition

I'm here because my original Flowbee just broke down! I see Clooney's got the original Flowbee like the one I have. My son is now 14, and he's been Flowbeed all of his life. He's gone to the barber twice as far as I can remember. Saved thousands of dollars.

I've had a FB since they originally came out and I'm on my third one. I still remember the infomercial selling them. I've had so many people make fun of me for using it but if you look at the roughly $800 I've saved a year over the last 30+ years of cutting my hair and my kids that's over $24,000 and probably over $30K now. It has more than paid for itself. When we built our new house I put in a FB haircutting station with a central vacuum connection. My kids bring the grandkids over now for a new generation of FB haircuts.

George Clooney..Hi I'm a Hollywood star. Drunk, a cocaine addict, and often divorced, an egotist and elitist, totally oblivious to the rest of America. You must listen to my political views cause I know what's best for you. "for all of his immense problems as a human being, is a charismatic carnival barker." Coming from a Guy that makes a living as a side show, a Carnival Clown and obviously the court Jester... this is gold.. Hollywood puts these clowns out there to project... it is what it is... they don't live real life..they just play it on TV.. But don't forget.. the "people" put him there with all his hollyweird riches to do so.. make sure who you watch and support with your pennies...

I haven't been to a barber in 20 years, and rarely for 10 years before that, ever since I got a Flowbee in 1990. I'm still using the original head, but I imagine I'll need to replace that soon because even the best blades won't last forever. I apply a little clipper oil to the blades before every third or fourth session and it just keeps purring. I did replace the spacers/tubes/guides things, whatever they're called, because the originals got brittle and broke, but they're not expensive.

Back around 2010, there was an original style Flowbee, complete, barely used, in the original box. At Goodwill for $2.99. I remembered the commercials as a kid, and figured it would be fun to try someday, so I picked it up. Well in 2020 that someday came. I learned to use it, and since then I've never paid for a haircut again. I've never had a disaster with it, but every time I get better and faster at it. I think it's cool to be proficient at something that hardly anyone else does or seems to know about. It's no louder than standard hair clippers, any additional noise just depends on the vacuum you use. I use my upright, disconnect the hose and lay it down so the beater brush doesn't wear a spot in the floor.
