Original: Combs, scissors and hairdryers help this person do hair.

Corrected: Combs, scissors, and hairdryers help a hairdresser style hair.

Why: I added a comma after "scissors" to separate the items in the list (the Oxford comma). I changed "this person" to "a hairdresser" so it is clearer who you mean. I also changed "do hair" to "style hair," which sounds more natural.
