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 the distance or give you the same professional look.
The last thing you want is to purchase a cheap pair, only to have to upgrade soon after because the results weren’t good enough. It’s like most things in life, “you get what you pay for” and hair clippers are no different.
Besides, you can buy a decent pair of professional hair clippers for around $50 to $150, which will give you an excellent cut every time and last you a lifetime if you look after them. Having said that, they are pretty low maintenance and the only servicing you’ll need to do is change the blades every couple of years if they start to become worn and regularly oil them – depending on how frequently they are used.
There are 2 types of hair clippers that are used today. The old style manual or hand clippers and the more common, electric type.
The manual or hand clippers were the first type of hair clipper to be invented in the 19th century and were once widely used, especially in the military and prisons and obviously operate without the need for electricity.
You can still see this type of clipper being used today by traditional or ‘old school’ barbers and are still commonly used in India. They can still be purchased at specialist shops or online. Manual hair clippers take a lot longer and more skill to achieve the same results as an electric model, but still produce an effective and professional looking result in the right hands.
Today’s modern, electric, professional hair clippers are a far cry from the manual ones. They are much easier to use by the non-professional stylist or barbers and are far more forgiving! The electric clipper is much more convenient and easier to operate, but they do require getting used to.
They are made from rust resistant titanium metal blades which stay sharp at all times, which is one of the most important features to look for in a clipper.
The prices of electric clippers 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 will provide less power to the cutting blades, which won’t produce as good a quality finish as a more expensive motor.
Other features to consider when purchasing a professional hair clipper, are things like a ‘blade guard’ and ‘comb attachments’. Blade guards will help your blades stay sharper longer and the comb attachments let you cut hair to different lengths.
There are quite a few different makes and models to choose from and you need to decide how much use you will get from your clipper to how much you should spend on one. A barber or stylist should naturally purchase one of the top models like the Oster Classic 76 Professional Hair Clipper which has been a long time favorite of barbers and stylists over the years. Or one of the Andis products that are also widely used in the hair industry.
For someone wanting to purchase a clipper for their own use or for the family, there are lots of good quality models that will do an excellent job for much less. Our top recommendations are the Remington Short Cut Clipper
For a professional hair clipper, Amazon.com is still your best choice to purchase these models at the cheapest price and security of buying online. They also run ‘specials’ and discounts now and again on various models.
