A professional hair clipper differs significantly from a household machine that is used at home and is called mass market or simply mass market. Qualitative professional devices are used in hairdressing salons.
Properties of a professional hair clipper
Machines for professional use have such properties that distinguish them from mass-market:
- the ability to work continuously for several hours. Although they heat longer, but they can be used for a long time, while home appliances can work for about half an hour;
- solid blades, properly sharpened. This allows you to produce a uniform haircut without their "pulling out";
- long service life. A professional machine can last 3 times longer than a domestic one. This fully covers the cost of its acquisition.
Types of professional hair clippers
Depending on the power supply machines are:
- Wireless professional hair clippers. Instruments operate on battery power. Their advantages are the ability to not limit their actions while working. The disadvantage is the risk of rapid discharge, after which the device will have to re-charge or change the battery to another.
- Cars working from an electrical network. They are able to work for a long time. But the wire will limit the freedom of movement and maneuvering when cutting.
- Combined models. They can work from both the battery and the mains. Such machines are the best option. You can start a haircut with a battery-powered machine. In case it is discharged, you will be able to connect to the mains and complete the process.
Depending on the amount of noise produced by the machine at work, the models are divided into:
- Rotary models , which are considered to be the most silent professional hair clippers. They are equipped with a small engine that heats up with prolonged use. Manufacturers make holes in the housing for ventilation or install a cooling system to eliminate this drawback.
- Vibration models that emit a lot of noise. Their basis is an electromagnetic coil. Also a disadvantage is the possibility of the machine operating for only 10-20 minutes.
The choice of a professional hair clipper
When choosing a specific model of a professional machine, it is recommended to pay attention to the following characteristics:
- purpose - some models have their own specific functions, for example, designed for cutting children. Other models are used in professional salons;
- the amount of noise that is produced during operation, which depends on the type of drive used;
- source of power;
- material of blades (stainless steel, ceramic);
- number of nozzles .

Thus, taking into account the properties and characteristics of machines, you can choose for yourself a suitable device.
