“Impressed with this Clipper/ trimmer set. Student barber💈 that has been cutting for years. Trimmers are very sharp and arrived zero-gapped. Same as clippers. Did not adjust because they were already set to my liking. Feel great in the hands. Compatible with Wahl guards but the guard set that it comes with feel premium. Price for this set is about 20% of the cost for the “name brand” ones that they replicate. Battery life was great. Used them for 4 haircuts and battery only went down to 78%. Personally, I would charge them in between cuts while they’re being disinfected. Highly recommend for home or professional use. Only concern is the longevity of the blades and which ones to replace them with. I’m assuming a Wahl fade blade for the Clipper but not sure for the trimmer. Maybe a babyliss pro. Not completely sure though. Will update my post when I do replace them. Really hope Novah continues to make more products like these.”
“I have been a barber for over 35 years. I chose these clippers because I’m familiar with the brand and liked that these have a rotary motor, not magnetic side to side. Believe me this is an upgrade much like the Oster 76’s. Oster is the gold standard though. I read a review that said they received a different box and better attachments. That was good news to me. Unfortunately mine came with the cheap ones. This does not reflect poorly on the clippers, just bad information. For people who want an extra clipper for travel or a back up these are perfect.”
“Very happy with it order it yesterday got it today. And i gotta say i love these magic clips they cut so smooth im a barber i have different wahls but i only sticked with my oster fast speedsters but this wahl are going to be used alot they do an awesome job.. really recommend it, i suggest before buying you have a little experience cutting hair where to the blades are super sharp and can cut if wrong handled, Overall very satisfied.”
“As a licensed barber and cosmetologist, I can honestly say while hair is hair, there are many textures which makes choosing the right tools essential to get the desires results. I found this tool excellent for all textures of hair! The blades are of excellent quality on both clippers and edger’s. No more aggravating cords! Whether you are creating a clean tape, temple fade, crisp lines, or crew cut; this tool is awesome. Guards are made of good quality and height adjustment for blending.”
“I AM a professional, and I come from a family of barbers…. Literally my dad, mom, brothers, uncles… We all use these to clipper over comb, beards, fades, fros, and me personally i use them to fade my designs. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THEM.
If you cut your own kids hair, slapping a guard on your kids head and calling it good is still going to look unclean, but these are better then any Walmart brand clipper. THESE CLIPPERS DO GET HOT, ONLY IF YOU ARE SLOW AND OR. ROOKIE AT CUTTING HAIR. I use these for 5-10 min per haircut I cut about 15-30 people’s heads a day, they do not get warm with the use that I do. If your sitting in the mirror for 35 mins cutting your own hair, then yes don’t get these.
Hands down these are some of the best out there for barbers who can clipper over comb, and freehand fades, correcting lines mistakes and adding polish.
BEARDS- for personal use, if you have the extra cash it’s a must have to take it off fast and efficiently with no pulling or clogging. For professional use, these are a must have for freehanding beards, fros, flat tops, fades, and designs.
NOTE!!!!!! If they make a horridly loud buzzing noise, there is a flathead screw on the side that you want to tighten ONLY JUST ENOUGH TO GET RID OF THE SOUND! Over tightening results in lack of movement in the blades and you will find clogging much more frequent even to the point of the blades stopping all together.
KEEP BLADES OILED REGULARLY. In my professional use, I usually oil them about every 3-5 haircuts. I hope you found this review helpful.”
“I have been cutting hair as a professional barber since 2002 and I own my own barbershop. I have allways used the whal senior clippers also know as an adjustable clipper for all of my clipper haircutting. These clippers (the oster) is know as a detachable blade clipper because the actual blade comes on and off. I will try to breack down the differences between the two. Well first off the oster Is defenitly louder however it’s not overly loud. If you compare the number 3,2, and 1 guards between the two clippers you will notice that the oster numbers are actually a little bit longer than the plastic guards, however because they cut so smoothly the hair actually looks a little shorter. It doesn’t miss anything. It takes a little getting used to when you switch. But it’s worth learning. When doing skin length fades it’s better to work longer to shorter. One thing I miss is the adjustable lever of the whal clipper. I end up still using both. The one 1 blade and the triple 000 blade are equivalent to the adjustable clipper in the opend and closed position respectfully. Your def. going to want to pick up the 3 and a half blade, the 2 blade and the one and a half blade for the oster. The one and a half blade is perfect for clipper over comb work. Even the thickest hair is no match for the oster. Even if it’s a little wet. I took off a huge thick beard the either day and it went threw it like a hot knife threw butter. Very powerfull like I said. The other advantage to the oster Is that it cuts the hair while you pull the clipper away from the head so blending the hair is easier then the plastic attachments of the whal. I don’t think you need anything higher than the 3/4’s inch blade cause after that you can just use sissor over comb and it comes out mint. All in all I’m very happy. Worth the money. But I recommend using both clippers. The adjustable clipper is still good for around the ears tapering. So let’s say after you use the one and a half blade on the oster. You can switch to the wahl clipper and open the lever up and it basically the next size down. Enjoy.”
