Rating of the best hair clippers for professional hairdressers 2024

The hair clipper is chosen depending on where it will be used. To get a haircut at home, simple machines with a small number of attachments are suitable, not necessarily professional... They simply and quickly perform haircuts on short hair, which are so popular with men. The devices are notable for their low price and low performance.

Most often, such devices work from the network or autonomously. Professional hair clippers are more sophisticated. They have many functions. The rating of the most popular devices in 2024 points to well-known brands of manufacturers Panasonic, Philips, Moser, Braun. These are the best hair clippers in 2024!

What characteristics are important when choosing cars for the salon or for home use? All this is further in the article!

Type of electric motor of the machine

By the type of blade drive, all machines are classified into 2 groups: rotary and vibration. What is their difference?

Rotary machines contain a rotary motor. It spins and moves the blades. The motor power is 20–45 W. To prevent it from overheating, there is a cooling mechanism in the device.

Main advantages:

• minimum noise level;
• low vibration;
• high reliability: in the event of a malfunction, it is easy to repair;
• power allows you to work with a machine for a long time;
• the devices are designed for a large flow of customers;
• easy maintenance.

Among the shortcomings, experts note: the heavy weight of the apparatus, the hand of the master quickly gets tired. The cost of rotary machines is high.

The rating of professional rotary hair clippers, according to independent experts, is as follows:

• "Moser";
• "Harisma";
• "Dewal";
• "Hairway".

Vibration machines have an induction coil instead of a motor. The blades are powered by a magnet. Electric motor power - up to 15 W. Among the advantages are: light weight and low cost. Specialists do not use vibration devices in salons.

They have obvious disadvantages:

• strong vibration complicates work;
• low power does not allow using it for more than 20 minutes; an automatic shutdown is triggered in the device;
• some models do not have removable blades: it is difficult to achieve straight cut lines;
• the machine is designed for ordinary people who prefer to get their hair cut at home.

Among vibration devices, users distinguish the following models:

• Babyliss;
• "Harisma";
• "Oster";
• "Polaris".

Note! The type of electric motor must be indicated in the technical passport of the hair clipper: rotary or induction coil.

If the passport indicates a power of more than 15 W with the type of engine - an induction coil, then you should not trust the manufacturer.

Self-powered or networked?

The machine should be comfortable to use. When choosing a device, it will not be the last to pay attention to the type of power supply. There are only 3 of them:

• Batteries - the machine must be charged after 1 hour, it is convenient to use when traveling. The operating hours are indicated in the instructions for the device. The leaders are Philips, Braun, Polaris.
• Network - if the machine is powered by electricity, then the master's workspace is limited the length of the cord, which is inconvenient. Bestsellers: Philips, Remington.
• Hybrid food: the equipment can operate both from electricity and from a battery, devices with 2 types of power are professional hair clippers. The rating is headed by rotary electric motors: "Oster", "Valera", "Dewal", designed for a large flow of customers.

The type of machine power supply can be key when choosing equipment. The efficiency of the salon's customer service depends on this.

Professional hairdresser tips: what to look for when choosing a hair dryer

Professionals recommend considering the material from which the blades and attachments are made when choosing a machine.
Usually the material for knives is steel.

In some models, the material of the blades is sprayed:

• Ceramics - the material does not allow strong heating of the blades. With ceramic-coated knives, you can cut both wet and dry hair.
• Titanium - is considered a hypoallergenic metal. The coating does not irritate the skin, which is important when cutting children and people with sensitive scalp. Spraying makes the blade wear resistant.
• Diamond - the material is solid. Blades with this coating are used for cutting thick, coarse hair. The diamond allows you to make a high cutting precision.

Note! Coated blades cannot be cheap. If a manufacturer offers a model of a machine with a diamond or titanium coating, setting a low cost, then this is a dubious compromise.

The speed of the blades is independent of their coverage. The parameter is related to the power of the device. The more power the machine has, the faster the knives move.

For the convenience of performing a haircut and ease of maintenance of the machine, manufacturers offer devices with special blades.

• Self-sharpening: extends the life of the machine.
• Changing the angle of the blades: allows you to make precise cutting geometry.
• Retractable knives: enable the master to cut hair of different lengths. No time wasted on changing attachments.

Rating of manufacturers by quality of blades

Experts determine the rating of professional hair clippers depending on the quality of the blades:

• "Philips";
• "Moser";
• "Panasonic";
• "Rowenta".

The machine comes with a blade care product: a brush, a lint-free napkin, knife lubricant. It is recommended to clean the blades after a haircut of 4-5 clients.

Attachments are used to adjust the length of the haircut. Depending on the attachment, they can be fixed or removable. Fixed attachments are convenient for home use.

In salons, craftsmen prefer to use removable models. The attachments are included with the hair clipper. Their number is different for each manufacturer - 3–8 pcs. Each attachment is designed for a specific type of work.

• Clipper attachments allow you to adjust the length hair: from 3 to 25 mm.
• If you need to make a pattern on your hair, then use curly nozzles.
• At the final stage, haircuts are often thinned.... For such work, a specific nozzle is intended. With its help, the hairstyle will look more natural.
• Fine blades and short teeth are used to trim coarse mustache and beard hair.
• Cone Models eliminate small hairs in unwanted areas. The attachments are used to get rid of hair in the ears and nose.
• Separate nozzle set to correct the length of the ends of the hair and to straighten the strands. This is a polishing pad. After using it, the hairstyle looks well-groomed, and the line along the length of the hair is perfectly even.

It is important to know! The attachment can be made of metal, plastic or silicone.

Professionals prefer silicone. He gently touches the scalp, massaging it. The material is expensive. Metal and plastic are too tough, but they will last longer and are easier to care for.

For complex work: polishing strands, making ornaments, only professional hair clippers are used. The rating of models is not the main criterion when choosing a device, but its level depends on the positive feedback from specialists and ordinary people.

Professional machines have a variety of characteristics that affect the quality of their work. Hair clipper manufacturers, confident in their products, indicate a trouble-free service life of professional hair clippers of 3 years.

The device will last longer if the workload on the machine is observed, the blades are cleaned as indicated in the technical data sheet, and preventive measures are taken.
