A vacuum apparatus for collecting fallen cut hair from a floor during hair grooming is disclosed. The vacuum apparatus has a base, a suction unit mounted on the base and a shroud removably disposed about the base. The base being separable and having a female portion and a male portion for receiving a post of a chair therebetween the base portions and the portions each having a baffle therein. The shroud being separable and having a plurality of inlet openings throughwhich the cut hair initially passes while being directed by the baffle through the suction unit enroute to a receptacle removably disposed on the suction unit for collection and for subsequent disposal of the cut hair. The female and male portions are engaged in a mating relationship and are maintained therein by a sealant. The shroud, being separable, expandably fits over the base and is kept in place about the base with a hook and a loop type fastener disposed on the shroud. The vacuum apparatus can be readily adapted to fit onto an existing barber and salon chair without modification to the chair so that a floor of a hair grooming shop may be kept clean during hair cutting.
