Choose a hair clipper based on technical specifications and common sense. For example, why do you need 2-4 nozzles if you plan to cut your child’s hair at home? But in a professional beauty salon, everything is important: nozzles, quality of blades, choice of length.

How to choose a hair clipper
Models for home and barbershop are different. In the abstract, the former are easier, simpler and more accessible. The latter are heavier and more complicated due to the mechanisms – but they allow you to achieve spectacular haircuts, shaved temples, and a neat beard. What to look for when choosing?
- Internal device — technical knowledge makes work more comfortable! Rotary models (with a motor) are heavier than vibration ones; your hand may get tired. Rechargeable – the most convenient, but quickly lose charge, may not be able to cope with a large amount of hair.
Helpful advice: in order not to get tired during the day and not make the client wait (especially a child), keep 2 cars on hand. A good combination of rotary + battery models. The first copes with any type of hair and performs the main haircut, the second is convenient to cut the hair above the ears and perform minor actions (like alignment).
- Blade quality – the sharper the better! The blades are made of stainless steel, ceramic, titanium or an alloy with the addition of diamond grit. The first are inexpensive, but wear out very quickly – it takes more time to cut, pain is possible (the hairs are not cut, but pulled out). Ceramic is the best option: it lasts a long time, suitable for sensitive scalp. Minus fragility, one careless movement, and the part breaks. Titanium is considered a premium option, such blades go to professional models. The material is durable, withstands the “check” with water (you can cut your hair when wet), suitable for allergy sufferers. Diamond spraying, in addition to the above, also copes with hard hair. But you need to understand that professional models are much more expensive.
Helpful advice: children’s hair clippers should not overheat. It is desirable that the blades have rounded ends, so you do not injure delicate skin. The most successful choice is a cordless model with ceramic knives.
- Add. accessories – the more attachments, the more interesting the haircut variations! Useful and container for collecting hair. Professional brands like Moser or Braun have a wet-clean blade feature for convenience.
Helpful advice: beards and mustaches require a special blade. This nozzle is 32-35mm, it corrects the length of the hair, trims the mustache, and allows you to get rid of unwanted stubble.
