Professional Hair ClippersYou can expect to enjoy long term cost savings and reliability with most professional grade hair clippers. If you are unfamiliar with what is available or what may be appropriate for your needs then consider the following tips and suggestions. 
Hair Clipper Motors Blades on hair clippers move in two directions driven by an electric motor. Magnetic, pivot and rotary motors are the three most common types of motors utilized by most hair clippers. A magnetic motor drives the clipper blade one direction while a compression spring powers the return stroke. Clippers with magnetic motors would be ideal for smooth, general purpose cutting. Pivot motors provide up to twice as much cutting power as magnetic motors with a power stroke in both directions. Pivot motor enabled clippers could be used for thick, course or event wet hair. Rotary motors offer good speed and usually the most power. Hair clippers with integrated rotary motors are a good choice for bulk hair removal. The cutting action is gear driven and in most cases can easily cut through any type of hair whether dry or wet. Fixed Adjustable vs. Detachable Blades Hair clippers with fixed adjustable blades offer good versatility by incorporating the ability to adjust the cutting length on the fly. Optional attachment combs provide even greater flexibility. These types of clippers tend to utilize magnetic and pivot style motors. Detachable blade systems are typically used on rotary motor driven hair clippers. A wide variety of blade and accessory options are made available by manufacturers for their respective rotary motor featured hair clipper models. What to Buy Most barbers and professional hair stylists tend to have an arsenal of hair clippers in order to cater to the wide variety of hair, styling preferences and special needs of their patrons. For the home barber who cuts hair maybe once or twice a month the choice will most likely depend on cost vs. features. Impressions and opinions from user reviews are a great resource when undecided about which clipper to choose.
