Today’s barbers are more mobile than ever before, making house calls and working at multiple salons across the city. With that extra movement comes the increased potential for damage to your expensive blades— which is where Clipper Condom comes in to save the day. Clipper Condom utilizes existing technology to create streamlined individual carrying cases for trimmers and clippers to solve a common problem for barbers and groomers. This product is long overdue.
You may be wondering why we call ourselves Clipper Condom… the answer is quite simple! The word condom is synonymous with protection, which is exactly what we provide by protecting clipper and trimmer blades from accidental damage, breakage, and misalignment.
Clipper Condom comes with a 0.5mm form-fitted neoprene sleeve for ultimate protection so your clippers can withstand accidental drops and blundered handling.
Misaligned blades can be a serious issue, leading to a lack of precision, leading to unhappy customers who are unlikely to repeat business with you. This can cause massive loss of clientele over time, especially since word of mouth is huge in the hair care world. With Clipper Condom, you can travel freely without fear of misaligning your blades.
In the past, the only option to keep your blades sharp and protected was using a clunky multi-unit storage case much larger than you’d ever need — not great for portability or style. Clipper Condom solves this problem with its contoured individual cases that cradle your clippers perfectly without the extra bulk.
Instead of being forced to buy a giant case to protect your clippers and trimmers, Clipper Condoms are each sold individually in two different sizes – one for clippers and one for trimmers — for a reasonable price. This way, you can customize your blade protection solution without purchasing unnecessary, oversize products or wasting money.
Ever spend too much time trying to find the right clippers in your arsenal? Clipper Condom comes in a rainbow of color options, so it’s super easy for you to visually organize your collection and grab the right tool the first time, every time.
Not interested in color coding your clipper collection? You can still enjoy Clipper Condom’s wide variety of colors, choosing the colors that best fit your personal or professional aesthetic.
With the busy schedules of pet owners’, it’s no surprise that mobile pet grooming is a booming business. With Clipper Condom, your blades are always sharp and protected no matter where duty calls, so that your canine customers can have a beautiful cut every time.
Non-professional hair care enthusiasts know the value of sharp, precise blades — but maintaining their tools can be a real hassle. Clipper Condom’s compact cases keep blades from becoming damaged without heavily investing in equipment or time.
Clipper Condom is individualized and customizable, which means that you can easily select the perfect gift for any barber or hair care enthusiast in your life. Plus, our colorful designs come with a quirky, irreverent slogan that’ll be sure to put a smile on their face.
Each Clipper Condom will retail for $7.95–12.95, depending on the piece’s size, material, and style. Considering that the cost of replacement blades can soar as high as $25, each Clipper Condom will easily pay for itself in time! Get in on the Early Bird offer to get an even better deal.
Clipper Condom offers three different high-quality external material options, all with a Form-fitted neoprene interior and drawstring and zipper fasteners. The base model exterior is made of lightweight, waterproof nylon. The next level up is made of luxe nylon-plush velvet, which is a thicker material with an old-school charm and texture. Our banner product is quilted nylon, which provides the highest level of protection and padding while still maintaining a streamlined, water-resistant aesthetic.
Whenever I traveled with my clippers, I’d always end up with broken or misaligned blades. In one 6-month period, I spent north of $100 just to replace the blades and another $100 to pay a barber to align the new blades.
I looked everywhere for a solution to this problem, to no avail. When I realized just how many people had encountered the same problem, I decided to create a solution myself. I’ve introduced Clipper Condom to some of the most prominent barbers and pet groomers in their respective industries and I’m more confident than ever that anyone who owns clippers and trimmers will agree — Clipper Condom is the best way to protect your tools.
Bringing Clipper Condom from concept to production has been an incredibly amazing experience thus far. I have learned a great deal about product development, marketing and promotion; all critical skills for entrepreneurs in any industry. Throughout this process, I was careful to take heed of the insights from our product focus groups and directly manage the quality control process. Clipper Condom has been “shop-tested and approved” by the professionals who have influenced its development most. The enthusiasm and support of barbers, stylists and groomers have reinforced my belief that Clipper Condom has a rightful place in the storage bins and compartments of personal groomers everywhere. I am highly encouraged to bring the Clipper Condom to the Indiegogo Community. With your support and feedback, the rigors of branding, packaging, testing, manufacturing, marketing, focus groups will be all worthwhile. Your support will help to position Clipper Condom for mass production in far greater quantities and international distribution.
The only foreseeable risks are delays in Customs but even those can be mitigated with contract shipping of higher quantities. Please know, we’ll take every proactive measure with our suppliers to ensure timely delivery of holiday orders.
I’m committed to delivering you the highest quality product, on time. Each backer can expect complete transparency every step of the way.
Finally, a generous, ‘Thank you,’ from the Clipper Condom team for your enthusiasm and continued support. Together, we are bringing this clever, niche product to a vibrant consumer community.
