8 year old loved it, but isn't quite as nice as pictured
I bought this as a present for my 8 year old niece, who loved it PACKAGING / CONTENTS What you see in the pictures is what you get - the purple tool with the jewels in it, plus a few extra jewels. I was I guess expecting it to come in a box or something, but it came in a blister pack style package with a big "AS SEEN ON TV" emblem on the top. For me, that emblem doesn't make me think quality. Not that I thought this was going to be amazing quality for the price, but as a gift it kinda gave off a 'I bought this on my way over at Walgreens' feel. HOW IT WORKS You take a lock of hair, place it in the groove that is sticking off the circle and pull the trigger. It puts the jewel in the lock of hair. My niece had absolutely no problems operating it and within 10 minutes the entire family was bejeweled. REMOVAL I've seen other reviews that say they were hard to get out, but they didn't seem to be for us. My daughter, my SIL and my niece all put them in and removed them without any complaint. The jewels are then reusable for another application. They are small though and can easily get lost, but you can buy replacements by themselves:Conair HJ3RP Replacement Pack, 0.033 Pound (although the price on them as I write this is outrageous) QUALITY The picture of the jewels is a bit misleading. This is why I am taking off one star. It looks like they are made of metal when in fact the 'settings' are plastic painted silver. Like many things made like this for this kind of price point they aren't made terribly well and the black plastic often shows through the silver, etc. The children hardly care about this and for the price it is to be expected. However, they definitely didn't take a picture of the jewels we got in the package, which is very misleading. OVERALL This is a very fun toy, my niece and daughter really liked it. The quality isn't great and the packaging leaves something to be desired, but overall I am very happy with the purchase.

GREAT PRODUCT!
I nearly didn't buy this product because someone here on amazon stated "ouch" that it was spring loaded and will pull hair out when removing. Well, my comment on that is BRUSH YOUR HAIR! If your hair is brushed you should have no issues removing this product. All you do is pull the gems apart and slowly pull to take them out. You can't tell me you've never had a hair pin tug at your hair once in awhile when trying to remove, or even a hair tie at that. Now this product is a bit annoying in the beginning. It doesn't come with the batteries installed you will need your own batteries. The annoying part is the compartment to put the batteries in are closed with a screw. Which ok no biggie right? Wrong...the screw is sooooo tiny a regular Phillips will not do the job. You need a very thin tipped Philips to get the job done. If you do not have this handy you will not be able to use your product right away. This is why I take away 1 star. If it wasn't for this I would've given it a 5 star rating. Once you get past that part the product is very simple and easy to use. The jewels come preloaded, however the extra jewels does not come with a case so you will need something to put them in. All you do is take a small strand of hair and place it in the hook area. You need to hold your hair into the compartment and simply push the button and release once the jewel is in place. You don't want to take the strand out till after you let go of the button and the thing that pushes the jewel into the hair goes back into place. I notice if you take the hair out before hand the jewel doesn't really get pushed into place properly. Hope this was helpful!

Easy to use and it works!!!!
I bought this for my daughters 6th birthday. She requested it two days before her party and Amazon delivered on time!! It is the best product I have tried for hair jewelry. My 6 yr old used it easily and loves it! The replacement packs seem to be unavailable but I will keep checking. Great product!!!!

Conair hair jeweler. A great Christmas gift!
I am so glad I ordered this for my 9 year old Granddaughter for Christmas. This was a big hit, she loved it. It's very sturdy and I think will hold up. Simple to operate. The jewels go onto the hair easily, my granddaughter very quickly was using it on her own hair and then, her Aunts hair and her big sisters hair????. The jewels stay in without falling out, yet when you want to take them out of your hair they come out easily, with no pulling or any hair damage. What more could you ask? They look nice in the hair too. It takes 2 AAA battery's to operate and does not come with battery's. The jewels are very simple to load into the machine. The price is reasonable. The 9 year old got many other gifts Christmas Day, but the Conair HJ3BC Quick Gems Hair Jeweler was the big hit, with her. I have been asked by the 9 year old to please order more gems for her, which thankfully Amazon carrys as well. So I am happy to order some more. I ordered this a bit late for Christmas, but happily it was shipped quickly and got to me in time for Christmas. In conclusion, if any one is sitting on the sidelines wondering if this is a good item for a young girl, I would urge you to order one. It's good quality, easy to use , does not damage the hair at all, very easy to take out of the hair, yet stays in well when applied and the price is reasonable. I am so happy I got it for my Granddaughter and was so happy to see how much fun she had with it. I know she is going to wear some "jewels "in her hair, the first day back to school after Christmas, and best of all, she will be telling her friends her Nona bought it for her????
