The haircut machine in Moon blew my mind, I can't believe it actually exists, and on such a prestigious domain name! www.haircut.com

  "Well, as you can see, it sucks as it cuts!" "It certainly does suck!"

    That was the first thing I thought of as well. "It's sucking my will to live!"

    "The results are a refreshing vacuum haircut."

    I've actually used one of these once. Once. If I cared that little about how my hair looks, I'd just get some clippers.

      I thought Flowbee was just clippers - the thing I hate most about cutting hair is the hair getting everywhere, especially short clippings. That's exactly the pain point being addressed with vacuum haircutting isn't it.

        The one that was used on me was set to do a 2" cut or something. It looked way worse than what you'd get with regular clippers set closer to the head.

        The vacuum also provides suction to pull the hair straight, I think. Notice how a barber pulls your hair out straight with a comb to see the length while cutting? The suction gets you that service.

    They showed this on the UK tv programme "Tomorrow's World". The person receiving the haircut was distressed at the results. TW was great because they demod the tech live and it often failed. Watching someone Getting a terrible haircut, live on tv, and being visibly upset by it was interesting.

    I still cut my hair with a Flowbee! First thing I thought of after reading this section.
