=>>  Overall Top Choice – Oster Classic 76  <<=

Are you a professional hairdresser or barber looking for a quality and reliable clipper? Or do you simply want to purchase one, to trim your own hair at home and save some money?

Either way, it is ultimately more cost-effective in the long run to buy a good quality pair of clippers, than to get poor results with a cheap pair that won’t last very long or give you the same professional look. It’s like most things in life, “you get what you pay for” and hair clippers are no different.

So what are the criteria when looking for professional hair clippers?

1. Reliability

If you’ve previously bought a cheap pair of clippers from Wal-Mart or similar, you’ll probably know that doing so was a false economy. These type of clippers are far inferior to good quality brand named ones. They tend to be made of cheap plastic, have an average to poor motor and a blade that ‘hacks’ rather than smoothly cuts your hair. Plus you’ll be lucky if they last you more than 12 to 18 months.

The 3 leading manufacturers of hair clippers are Oster, Andis and Wahl. Other brands vary from half decent to very poor. With the leading brands you get the reassurance of solid, reliable professional hair clippers that will last you a lot longer – years longer.

2. Quality

Every clipper is different and so is the quality. What I mean is, you need to think about things such as; what the clipper housing is made of. Is it cheap plastic, or made from valox, a toughened hard-wearing plastic resin? Are the blades guaranteed to stay sharp and strong?

It’s always worth checking out customer reviews on a product. Amazon has a great system of providing real customer feedback on every product it sells. If the clipper you want is sold through Amazon, a quick check of the reviews will soon tell you if you’ve got yourself a winner or a dud.

3. The Motor Makes All the Difference

The size and power of a hair clipper’s motor is generally what sorts the top of the range models from the poor imitations. As long as you have a decent blade in your clipper a good, powerful motor will ensure the hair is smoothly and cleanly without grabbing or pulling it.

Prices are usually dictated by the quality of the blades and the motor that drives them. It is these elements that you should pay particular attention to when making your purchase. Cheaper motors will burn out quicker and provide less power to the cutting blades.

Blades need to be strong and sharp that will last you at least a couple of years without dropping in performance. Check what they are made from and if you can easily get replacement blades. Blades can damage if you drop the clipper and it’s always handy to have a spare one to hand.

4. Ease and Frequency of Use

The right hair clipper for you may depend on your previous experience with using them.

For someone wanting to purchase a clipper for their own use or for the family, there are lots of good quality, mid-ranged priced models that will do an excellent job. The Oster Fast Feed and the Wahl Peanut Clipper are both quality clippers that produce an excellent finish.

If you’ve been using clippers for a while or you are an industry professional who cuts hair on a regular basis, then the Oster Classic 76 professional hair clippers will be all you need, and has been a long time favorite (including mine) over the years.

It has been described as the “Rolls Royce” of professional hair clippers and has an unsurpassed reputation.

5. Accessories

Most professional hair clippers should include the following when you purchase them: Blade guard – to keep your blades sharper for longer, clipper oil and grease, instructions/manual, a warranty and comb attachments (although this depends on the model).

I recommend you take some time before buying your clipper. Read my hair clipper reviews and based on how much you want to spend and how often you intend to use it, you should be able to find the right model for you.

I hope you find my reviews useful. They should save you a lot of time when choosing a new pair of professional hair clippers.
