I had a beautiful female barber pull one of those out on me, many many years ago. It was a bit shocking, but she convinced me that many of her clients never let her go back after she convinced them to try it.
She was right, I loved it.
P.S. There is no reason to combine the shooting with the editing. Based on our PM discussion, I would focus on just doing the shooting, then hand it off to a pro for the editing.
