hair clippers

[furbymac]

i am looking at getting my first set of hair clippers. (i feel so growed up) i was looking at getting this setup. ( Wahl Home Products | Deluxe Chrome Pro 79524-1001 ) are the little trimmers necessary, or will the big set trim the sideburns off and trim the back? any other suggestions?

I bought a Wahl 15 - 20 years ago at Sally Beauty Supply in Indy, commercial model and it's Still running strong. For me the battery job in that kit would be useless.

Little ones aren't necessary for sideburns. (Mustaches/beards might be a different story though.) I've been cutting my husband's hair with a Wahl trimmer--the same one--for the last 10 years or so. Never needed naught but the big trimmer.

i noticed that too but i didn't know if it was more of an comfort thing or if it is necessary

No need for the small trimmer. I have been trimming my own hair for years with a large trimmer. Small one is for facial hair.

don't waste money on the cordless. I have went through 2 of them. I am on my second corded, which is a wahl & it seems to be working great so far. I cut my own hari & have a flat top or buzz cut. the wife cuts my son's with it. definately a great investment.

Get the cheap ones. I have had my cheapos circa 1990, oil 'em every time they will last forever. My girlfriend, also circa 1990 is a professional hairdresser, I still rock my cheapos. Mine like remoil btw..

Andis brand products. Top of the line products. I purchased the t-outliner for shaving etc. I wouldnt trade it for any other clippers ever.

Depends on how you want to cut your hair. I personally use the Wahl corded clippers, with a #2 comb on top, no comb on the sides, then fade it in with the #1 comb. But I go back to the sides and skin them with a Norelco cordless beard trimmer. Gets it nice and high and tight!! Old habits die hard.

The Not So Great Clips I've been to you're almost better off letting a drunk, blind person with Parkinson's cut your hair. I went because I had a $4.99 coupon and I paid about $10 too much and walked out with a little less blood.
