First haircut without tears
My son screams at the sight of clippers — always has. He barely flinched with this one. Genuinely quiet, and the rounded blades mean I'm not terrified of nicking him.

The most helpful reviews
The vacuum is the whole point
I bought it for the quiet motor and stayed for the vacuum. Every other time I cut his hair I spent twenty minutes finding clippings in the carpet. This caught everything.
2-year-old, monthly trims
He sat still. That has never happened.
We tried two other clippers and both ended in tears within thirty seconds. This one he let us finish. The noise really is the difference.
8-month-old, first trim
Great, wish the wrap was bigger
Does exactly what it says. Quiet, no mess, easy to clean. The barber wrap is a snug fit with all three combs in it, but otherwise we're genuinely happy.
3-year-old, every 6 weeks
Actually waterproof
Rinsed it under the tap after the first cut and it came up like new. The chamber empties properly too — no hair stuck in the corners.
18-month-old, fortnightly
Worth it for the anxiety alone
I used to dread haircuts for days beforehand. Now it's just a five minute job on the kitchen stool. Should have bought this a year ago.
2-year-old, monthly

What arrives in the box

The shortest guide, for a newborn tidy-up.

06

07
Cleaning brush

09

Made for small heads
Sized for little hands and wriggly mornings
QuietClip is 23cm long and weighs about as much as an apple — light enough to hold one-handed while you steady your baby with the other. The rounded blade stays comfortably below body temperature, so it feels gentle on their skin rather than cold or sharp.
Light in the hand
About 150g — roughly an apple. Easy to control while your baby wriggles.
Gentle on skin
Rounded 25-tooth ceramic blade warmed to 33–36°C — never cold, never sharp.
Quiet as a hush
Under 50dB at cutting speed — softer than a normal conversation.
Combs by age
Three combs — 0–3mm, 6–9mm and 9–12mm — so you choose the length, not the guesswork.
Everything you'd want to know
We're happy to share the full detail — we just don't think a spec sheet is the first thing a tired parent needs at 6am.

A closer look
Three colours, one very quiet shape
Soft Sky Blue, calm Mint and clean White — chosen to sit quietly in a nursery rather than shout from a shelf. Whichever you pick, the shape stays the same: slim, rounded, and comfortable to hold one-handed.
Three steps
A haircut in under ten minutes
01
Pick your length
Snap on one of the three guide combs. 0–3mm for a newborn tidy-up, 6–9mm for a toddler, 9–12mm to keep some length.
02
Trim gently
The rounded blade glides around ears and necklines. The ceramic-coated blade stays cool on the skin, so you can hold it one-handed while you steady a wriggling baby with the other.
03
Rinse and done
The vacuum caught the clippings while you cut. Pop the chamber off, tip it out, and rinse the whole body under the tap.
Real families
What it actually looks like on a Tuesday
Not a studio. A highchair, a couch, a nursery floor and a cup of tea going cold. This is where QuietClip earns its place — in the ten minutes before bath time.

Questions
Everything parents ask us
How quiet is it, really?
Under 50 decibels at cutting speed — quieter than a normal conversation. For context, most adult clippers and cheap baby clippers measure between 65 and 75 decibels, which is why babies flinch at them.
Is it safe for a newborn?
Designed from about three months onward and works through to preschool. Rounded blade teeth and guide combs hold the blade at a fixed distance from the scalp. Always supervise, and keep the blade away from the eyes.
Will it work on thick or curly hair?
Yes. The motor holds its speed under load, which is the usual failure point on cheaper clippers. For very thick or curly hair, start with the 9–12mm comb and take it in two passes rather than one.
Does the vacuum really catch everything?
It catches the large majority of clippings as you cut, which is what keeps hair off their neck and your floor. You'll still want the included barber wrap underneath for a completely clean finish. The chamber empties from the top and rinses out.
How do I clean it?
The whole machine is IPX7 waterproof with no dead corners, so you can rinse the body and blade straight under the tap. Empty the vacuum chamber after each use and let everything air dry. Add a drop of the included oil to the blade every few months.
How long does the battery last?
60 minutes of cutting from a full charge, which is roughly eight to twelve baby haircuts. It charges over USB in about two hours from any port or wall adapter.
What's in the box?
The QuietClip clipper, three interchangeable positioning combs, a USB charging cable, a barber wrap, a cleaning brush, lubricating oil, a powder puff, and a barber wrap. All included in the price.
Is it loud enough to scare a toddler?
That's the whole point of the design. It runs under 50dB, which is quieter than a normal conversation and dramatically quieter than the clippers most families already own. In practice, the sound is the reason babies who previously screamed will now sit through a cut.
What if my baby still hates it?
Then send it back. You have 100 nights to try it. If it doesn't make haircuts easier, we refund the full amount including return postage within Australia.
How fast is shipping?
Free within Australia on orders over $99, dispatched same-day if you order before 2pm AEST. Most Australian orders arrive within 3–6 business days. International delivery is 7–13 business days with tracking.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, worldwide, with tracking on every order. International delivery is typically 7–13 business days and duties are calculated at checkout.
Is it covered by warranty?
24 months, covering manufacturing faults and battery failure. If something goes wrong we repair or replace it free of charge, including return shipping.
Can I buy replacement combs or parts?
Yes. Replacement guide combs, blades and charging cables are all available separately, so a lost comb doesn't mean replacing the whole unit.
What if I just want a professional to do it?
Then that's genuinely a good choice, especially for a first haircut. We'd rather you knew that than bought something you didn't need. QuietClip is for the trims in between — and for the parents who'd rather not book an appointment every six weeks.
