Professional Clippers

By charlie reese

Because I shave my head, I use hair clippers a lot. I have always bought them at the drugstore. Usually, I can get a cheap one for 20 or 30 dollars. They all work well for a while, but they soon wear out. Although many of them claim to be professional clippers, I am definitely not convinced. I have seen the professional clipper at the barber shop. It is heavy, ugly, industrial, and straightforward. It never seems to choke on hair, always rings with a loud and powerful buzz, and works dependably.

The so-called professional clipper that I was using, however, was as different from this as night and day. First of all, it had this very slick, modern design. This isn't something to complain about per se, but it shows that appearance features prominently in the design of this professional hair clipper. It was slimmer, longer, and more curvy than the hair clippers in the barbershop. It was also quieter.

It did have some features that you couldn't get on a professional clipper. There were several different attachments to get different hairstyles. Some of them would allow you to cut your hair at a certain set angle or a certain distance from the scalp. On first appearance, they seemed like useful functions. I used the attachments all the time, and I knew if I tried a professional clipper, I wouldn't be able to anymore.

Nevertheless, when my hair clippers wore out, was finally fed up for good. I decided to look at real professional grade hair clippers. When I went to the barbershop supply store, I was a little bit disappointed at first. Every professional clipper was huge. The hair clipper set that I had last bought came with two appliances: a large clippers for doing the head and a smaller one for details. The smaller one was battery-powered and portable, a big convenience. By contrast, every professional clipper that I could find was big and clunky. I had seen people do extremely detailed work with professional clippers, but I couldn't figure out how. I supposed that I would just have to learn.

Looking back, getting a professional hair clipper was one of the best purchases I made in the past year. It forced me to depend on my own skills rather than a bunch of unnecessary attachments. I can now style my own hair quite attractively, and have even started giving haircuts to friends. Best of all, it still works! - 17273
