Flowbee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Flowbee is a vacuum-powered device made for cutting hair invented by San Diego carpenter Rick Hunts in the late 1980s. The product was touted as being capable of performing "hundreds of precision layered haircuts" and was frequently displayed on late-night television infomercials.
Reference to the Flowbee has been made in both film and television, such as the movie Wayne's World (in which a similar product called the "Suck-Cut" is touted, and which Wayne says "It certainly does suck"), drama television series Party of Five and sitcoms Home Improvement and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
The flowbee can also be used to groom dogs with long hair such as Maltese or Bichon Frisee.
