While there are multiple ways to proceed, most hairstylists adopt a simple method where hair is divided into equal sections to ensure a systematic approach. Salon owner Benjamin Mohapi cautioned in particular against models with flexible or too-few combs: “Sometimes you’ll find combs that won’t properly fasten parallel to the razor edge, or have extra bits that cause the lines to be crooked—and so you’ll never get clean results, and may get nicks or gouges. Comb quality is crucially important in distinguishing among clippers, since combs significantly affect the cutting experience and are expensive to upgrade or replace. If the blade isn’t replaceable, recycle or toss the clipper, and be sure to cut the power cord to ensure that someone else who might find it doesn’t use it unknowingly.

RAZOR HANDLES: A quality razor handle is important to getting a great hair cut or shave as well as maximizing the longevity of the razor. This clipper provides a similar experience to cutting with our pick, but the Color Pro Plus comes with less-rigid guide combs, which some testers found a bit flimsy. The clipper’s distinctive hum is instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever sat in a barber’s chair. Although the Color Pro Plus’s housing is slightly larger than the Elite Pro’s, the Color Pro Plus weighs a touch less than our pick.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Depending upon the nature of the haircut, the hairstylist either uses a disposable blade or a guarded blade to razor cut hair. Whether in the hands of seasoned professionals or skilled barbers, these shears play a pivotal role in fashioning hairstyles of unparalleled neatness and uniformity.

Many clippers with magnetic motors (as opposed to pivot or rotary motors) have a large adjustment screw located on the side.The Wahl Elite Pro High Performance Hair Clipper Kit met or exceeded the quality or performance of all the other models we considered in nearly every way.

The Wahl Elite Pro lacks a T-blade attachment, or companion trimmer, which allows for close cutting around the ear, in the back, and around facial hair without accidentally nicking an ear or creating a bald patch. Razor cutting isn’t suitable for frizzy, curly hair, over-processed hair with split ends, or easily damaged hair. Every expert we spoke with repeated the same basic mantra: Oil your clipper’s blade, and it will last years, even decades. As is true of blades, when it comes to motors, most home users wouldn’t notice much difference between types—other than their loudness. We found it even easier to grab the combs we wanted while using the Wahl Color Pro Plus kit, which has color-coded combs.Our pick comes with a useful assortment of 10 combs that are clearly labeled and easier to sort than those of most competing models; most have combs with impossible-to-read, raised black-plastic numbers on black plastic. A great idea to complement and show off your razor touched tresses is to get highlights or balayage.
