20 Best Barber Clippers For Black Hair (2022 Updated)

Always stuck to Wahl for thirty years. It’s either that or Andis or maybe Oster but after buying these it makes you realise that the professional stalwarts have been resting on their laurels a little too much.

The power of a cordless is phenomenonal compared to what I’ve ever used before. for bulk removal and clipper over comb they have not snagged once in the week I’ve been using them, even on very thick, coarse hair.

They are more powerful that my Wahl Icons with the V9000 motor. At last I can cut hair at my speed and not what’s dictated by underpowered cordless clippers and not get the hassle of wires snagging on your chair.

I can’t emphasise how happy I am with these clippers.

My husband needed a new trimmer and it’s always been my job to pick out the best for the price. But this time I actually got more than I bargained for. It cuts hair effortlessly and silently. I have never seen hair that clean cut in so little time.

I absolutely recommend this for private as pro use. Worth every penny!.

The Wahl i purchased is absolutely brilliant. Strong,sturdy,well made and cuts very well. Lots of different size guards to choose from. Good length cable. The only reason i did not give it 5 stars is because i have not had it very long and longevity is key for me when buying a good product!.

This thing is a beast. I bought this to trim body hair. It’s a professional grade tool, took me half the time. Wow. Pay attention, this thing is sharp with a very powerful motor. It vibrates and is noisy compared to the usual retail toys.

Definitely a man’s pro tool. 5 stars all the way. You too can look like a man again instead of a bear, in half the time! But wait, if you order in the next 15 minutes, they’ll throw in. Haha. I’m impressed.

The product is well designed, heavy but usable. It holds well in the hand (being left handed) and glides seemlessly over the hair. The blades are sturdy with a solid feel and to honest are the best I’ve used – the numbers are clear which also helps.

It is a little loud when operating but havent tried them in the salon yet due to CV-19. As with any product maintance is key to keeping it spit and span. The package came with the usual lubrication oil and duster attachement.

A little pricey but definately worth the investment. Arrived well before the estimated time. My only issue, which is minor is that it doesnt come with a storage case.

Amazing clipper! It is lighter than the corded Andis Master (which is known for being a heavyweight) and it doesn’t jam up the way the corded version occasionally does. It is quite a bit louder than the corded version (but no louder than most cordless clippers, the corded masters are well known for being nearly silent).

It does heat up a little with extended use, but not nearly as much as the corded Master. It is still a Master, so it doesn’t remove bulk or cut through wet hair, I use a separate clipper for bulk removal.

Bottom line, if you like the classic Andis Master, this gives you a little more freedom in a lighter package that retains the classic heavy duty look.

I bought this electric shaver as a Xmas present for my husband to replace his old one. He is absolutely delighted with it and says it gives a wonderful smooth shave. It’s easy to use, quick to charge up and has a pop up trimmer for sideburns.

He hasn’t used it for a wet shave yet so I’m afraid I’m unable to comment on that aspect of the shaver. All in all, it’s a terrific shaver at a reasonable price.

I bought this to replace my old Panasonic which I have had for many years and has been very good. However this one is not a patch on my old one. After a couple of days of growth it is useless. I have tried it wet and dry, but no good either way.

So I have had to go back to my old one. A waste of money.

Pros: provides an excellent close shave – great piece of kit. Sideburns trimmer very accurate and easy to use. Easily cleaned, I always use it and clean it dry. Brilliant !! Cons: The shape / angle of the shaver head in relation to the handle requires getting used to.

As does the movement up under the chin – minor point.

it is very light and precise. it is very comfortable to use and accurate, the adjustment for the length is an excellent feature. the battery lasts for about 1 hour so you dont have to keep it on the plug all the time.

this is a perfect professional use mahcine.

After 15 years of use, I dropped my old trimmer on a hard surface. So careless. Having purchased the new one, this is my opinion: Just as efficient and always guaranteed to give a great cut. The old one was made in the USA, this one in Hungary I believe.

The only difference seems to be a slight reduction in quality of the plastic casing. It feels less substantial. Hence only 4 stars. The motor, blades and performance are as good as ever. I sincerely hope, barring carelessness, that this one will last as long, if not longer.

You can’t go wrong with these, whether you’re a pro or a home cutter. These are like the Technics 1210 vinyl players, you’ll never need another one because they are the industry standard across the planet.

The clippers are well designed and built, the weight is just right and they’re not loud when in operation. I payed around 45 for mine (brand new boxed accessories etc) they’re worth twice that easily.

Fantastic tool and a must have.

The ShortCut Pro Self-Haircut kit changes everything with my shaving routine! It’s easy to use and easy to clean, and incredibly quick! What used to take me up to an hour with simple shaving razors now takes me only up to 20 minutes at most! The charging time seemed long, but the shaving time was so quick, so waiting isn’t an issue.

Cleaning the razor was a breeze too; the instructions given were clear as day, and I don’t see a problem in taking care of this great product for the foreseeable future.

As a first time user, indeed first time* cutting my own hair, I found this product easy and painless to use. No snagging or nipping was encountered, just a smooth and successful cut with each pass of the clipper.

You do need to go over the same area a couple of time from different directions to ensure all the strands are cut evenly but this only takes a few minutes. Wish Id bought this years ago now *Background: I have attempted to cut my own hair with scissors and a mirror once before and nearly taken my ear off, never again!.

I’ve always loved Wahl clippers and this clipper will save you time for cutting a one length haircut. Great power, can be used with various lengths, and is great for fading as well. The only thing I’m critical about are the zero gapping the blades are set at.

When I first received the clipper, I tried it on my neck and the clipper tore up my neck pretty good. It also cut my hand as I was checking it’s sharpness. I wanted to return them but decided to see if I could readjust the blades.

I did adjust them and it made a huge difference. So I decided to keep them and they work to my expectations. If you buy these clippers, make sure the blades are set properly or you will cut your client or yourself.

Zero gapping is important but these blades are very sharp. I mean sharp!.

Ive been shaving my head for the past 35 years with a hand razor. I was looking for an easier way to keep the bald look that was almost as good as shaving but more convenient to do. The wahl balding clipper is a good solution for this.

It provides a very close cut without irritation providing the blades are properly aligned.

I have used a Wahl trimmer for the past 15 years to cut my own hair whenever I may feel it necessary. At least once a week! As there is not that much there and I truly like to keep myself cleaned up and very presentable as I am an insurance professional and working good is important to me not only in the way I dress but also of course in my personal grooming.

This is the best of the best! I am so glad that this product has been produced and that I was able to find it! Thank you for all of your efforts to bring a product to market that is truly made for those that need to take care of them selves and a regular basis!.

I have given this a 5 * rating as have found that there are very little cons to these cordless hair clippers. The packaging is attractive and gives / shows you a brief outline of the features this has.

It was very easy to open and everything inside was individually wrapped and secured in place so nothing rattled around. Once I checked everything was complete, I dis-guarded the packaging as it comes with a handy pouch that everything fits into.

To charge you simply plug the cable in to the base of the clippers and into the socket. You will notice a green light flashing to let you know it is charging correctly. After around an hour, the light stopped flashing to show they are fully charged and ready to go! Before starting i took another look at all of the different pieces and searched for the instructions.

These are a small booklet with pictures showing you what to do. I found that these did not give me all of the answers I wished to know so this did make the initial process slower. The clippers are quite smart looking with that modern touch to them.

The on / off button is very easy to press and I found holding the clippers very comfortable. Being extremely lightweight was also a huge bonus to these, both for using and for travel. I actually tried out each of the combs, starting with the long hair one but ended up needing the shorter comb.

These are so easy to change over by gently pulling out the comb from the clippers and slotting in the desired one you want. The zoom wheel where you select the length is in a perfect place for you to use.

You can turn this with your thumb and I like the fact that you can help to control the wheel from the back also with your finger, making it really easy to turn. Also I noticed that these were not that loud when in use so I could still listen to my music at the same time! I certainly got to try out all of the features as my hair is quite thick so on went the turbo mode which sped things up a fair bit.

These clippers are quite powerful so do make sure you have the correct setting on as they do not take long at all to give you a fast and even hair cut which I was very pleased with! I have a few days a stubble which I like to keep trimmed and as this set comes with a 2 mm comb for stubble / beards, I gave this a go! Again, so easy to change over the combs and soon I was looking smart with my nicely trimmed even stubble and hair cut.

I had no issues with pulling hair or catching my skin throughout all of this and the blades did not clog once! Loving the way you can just take all of the pieces and run them under a tap for cleaning! When I first took off the main base of the clippers I found there was a fair amount of hair in there which easily came out when rinsed.

I let this all dry and attempted to put the silver base back on but found this really fiddly the first time with one side clipping in but not the other. The next time I tried this I had no issues at all so maybe I was doing it incorrectly, I’m not sure.

These seem quite robust so I think they will last me quite a while, especially as they are self sharpening so no blunt blades. All in all, I thoroughly recommend these to anyone who likes to trim their own hair or beard themselves as it is so easy to use and to keep up the maintenance on them.

Wow what can I say; the Philips hairclipper series 5000 washable hair clipper has revolutionised the hair trimming game for me personally. I thought my previous trimmers were good, but after getting these you will not be disappointed.

The stylish and attractive design is lightweight and easy to hold while cutting the hair. It is very versatile, allowing for trims corded or cordlessly, which allows you to glide through hair effortlessly without the need for cables getting in the way.

The hair cutter is very, very quiet compared to any other clippers I’ve used in the past and it creates neat lines and cuts, with adjustable cutting lengths like if you were a professional barber. You can cut hair in one swoop instead of doing multiple sweeps in one area, getting all the hairs first time.

Which is perfect for my disabled father who can not sit for very long. The trimmers glided through his hair and It took a lot less time to cut and style his hair than previously before. The blades glide effortlessly and do not snag or dig in the scalp, with him stating that it “didn’t feel like I was cutting his hair at all”.

Which is also a great feature for kids who hate having there hair cut. There is no need to oil or to treat the blades, which I had to do on my previous clippers. Which gives the Philips hairclipper series 5000 washable hair clipper a much more versatile and advantage to other clippers about, making them a lot more easier to maintain.

Especially when it comes to cleaning them. Running the blades under a tap to get rid of all the fine hair that seemed impossible to get rid of in the past, was weird at first, but now I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It feels and looks like you are using a brand new clipper each time you trim your hair, as washing the blades in water allows for a easier clean process to hair cutting. Convert! You will not be disappointed.

Not only for the quiet, easy and cordless free trimming that lasts up to 90 minutes. The cleaning process will save you time and money.

here is my review of the Philips Series 5000 Hair Clipper which it says its designed to be more durable, it’s built to last and aims to save time with it’s use compared to other brands/products, so I put it to the test.

The cutting element, is made from titanium blades and adjustable beard and hair combs which means they are designed to give you a fast, sharp cut, time after time – plus they are made to last and from my use via my beard/chest/hair I can confirm they are much quicker than my old clippers! It’s also great to have the option of being corded or not-I had no problem with charge length-managed to do beard/chest and hair and still had ‘juice left in the tank’.

I liked the length setting on the Philips Series 5000 Hair Clipper-easy to use/change to suit your needs, easy to clean, and durable. Combs are super easy to clean under the tap. When I found my last set of clippers I managed to get one which doesn’t ‘anger’ my skin on my face-these clippers have been designed to work with your face/hair because they have rounded combs and blade tips which move smoothly over the skin so it’s a better experience with less irritation.

Overall it has exceeded my expectation I have been using my old clippers for year-old faithful, know what you’re getting and was dubious of trying something new and whether it would live up to its claim-surprisingly they did and would highly recommend giving them a go! No adverse effects super easy to use, does what it says on the box!.

My first impression with this hair clipper is that is so light. But do not worry, it is made only by two major components and they seem strong. It feels very light so for people who are working with this product for long periods of time it could just be very good.

You have different heights for hair cuts, from 0,5 mm up to 21 mm. But the jump in between 0,5 and 3 mm could be improved, I wish it had more options in between. You must be close to a power source if you want to use the hair clipper as the cord is not very long.

Just long enough for a household but I don’t think for a hair saloon (you might have to adapt to it). My skin didn’t feel irritated at all which is very important to me. It did very well its purpose to cut my hair, so in the overall I recommend this product, but I would suggest it for households.

Love this hair clipper! Extremely easy to use. No confusing details to learn to start using. My husband has used it both with and without the guard, for a short trim and then went shorter without the guard for a 0.

5mm cut. My daughter also used it on an undercut on 3mm. It has lovely Smooth movement and a decent length power cord! Love this hair clipper! Extremely easy to use. No confusing details to learn to start using.

My husband has used it both with and without the guard, for a short trim and then went shorter without the guard for a 0. 5mm cut. My daughter also used it on an undercut on 3mm. It has lovely Smooth movement and a decent length power cord! Not too bulky of heavy foot smaller hands.

Would recommend.

This product is great for all the family! It is so easy to use and gives a really good cut. I was surprised how light weight it was and found it to be a little noisy but nothing that would put me off using.

The game changer for me was the one attachment that gives so many different settings. Ideal as I have lost these attachments over the years and also get fed up looking for the right attachment. It did feel as though there should have been one more setting from the guard to the blade as the lowest guard was not quite enough but the direct blade was too much.

Also I am not a fan of cords if it can be helped as they get in the way, so cordless would have been even better. Overall very easy to use in the home.

I’ve really liked this product so far. It’s very sleek and easy to use, and the packaging is minimal which I love. I’ve used it 2-3 times and it’s done a nice job. I was really happy to find a metal one without a million attachments.

I was reluctant on purchasing my 5 star Senior, there were some mixed reviews, it did take a long time to arrive, however when it did I unpackaged it, and unlike me I actually read the instructions. When it came time to use it, as I had not cut my hair in neatly 6 weeks, from the person who cuts his hair every 10 days without fail, as you can.

See I am not a fan of long hair, usual a number one with a number two on top. The. Machine felt really nice in your hand so sleek, and well made, and when my wife cut my hair she said it felt really good and the cut very smooth.

Then when I looked in the mirror I was so surprised with my new look. I attempted to clean the machine and the spring jumped out, lucky for me there was a black barber who gave a great tutorial, thank you very much.

I am so glad I went for the 5 star Senior, I was looking at the new 2020, but decided on the senior, and Wahl has a great name anyway. Regards Daniel Bonner.

Due to CV19 I had to try to cut my hair and my kids hair at home. Theres way cheaper clippers out there that Im sure can do the trick but the quality on this machine is amazing. I have a 2 year old and normally he hates the noisy clippers at the salons and I could not afford to have the clippers pinch or pull his hair even once.

He didnt even flinch or move with these. My six year old had not cut his hair in so long and these clippers handle bulk hair with no issue. The cordless features make this way easier to use specially since were not in a salon.

Overall, I did my research and found this machine is very recommend by pros and after using 4 times Im so happy with my purchase. It was kinda pricey but a few more hair cuts and it will pay itself off!.

The online images show the 1st generation clipper with black button/lever, but I received the 2nd generation clipper with beige button/level. However the annoying part is that I suspected this might occur, so I called and spoke to AMR prior to placing my order, to clarify which colour version I would receive.

AMR repeatedly reassured me that I would receive the black version, and hence I subsequently placed my order, and then received the beige version. Other than that, no issues, quick delivery, good condition etc.

I actually bought this to use as a shaver, as I am sick of cheaper ones having rubbish batteries that die after a few short years. This one has a lithium ion battery and when running, although louder, it has a much stronger sound about it and the trimmer itself feels solid and weighty in the hand.

It is only just about suitable for a trim to stubble, but I don’t care if it is slightly more awkward to use for that, if it is better built and will last that’s what matters. It glides through longer hair without a problem.

The trimmer came in a handy mini flight case and has a few attachments and some cleaning items. You can also use it whilst plugged in if you want to. I haven’t found out how many shaves I can get before another charge is needed, but so far it has had about 15-20 mins use and the tone of the buzz hasn’t weakened at all.

Just be aware that the battery doesn’t slowly and steadily lose power when in use like NiMh ones do. The trimmer just immediately cuts off when the battery is exhausted. I did notice the tone of the buzz drops very slightly though so that is a clue, but it is quite subtle.

I have a positive feeling about this product. Hopefully I won’t be back in a few years to say that the battery has packed up! The only thing isn’t quite so good is that the cutting height adjustment lever is rather bendy, I really hope it won’t snap.

Lastly, not a huge deal, but Just My Look, where I got this from, sent me a black trimmer and not the white one as shown in my order. Rather irritating, but I couldn’t be bothered to faff about and send back and wait for another one.

Purchased as a more convenient replacement for a Model 10 Oster Clippers. Powerful enough for my needs. No messing with leads, which is a big bonus and looks like a well made product. Spend a little time on Blade Set Up when you need to remove it as it is not exactly just fit and go, but it is simple enough when you find a clear Instructional Video.

Blade is sharp, but I invested in a Surgical Grade Arkansas Stone, which allows you to easily sharpen your blade as well as anyone can without having to send it away, or pay ever again. All in all, very pleased with the Product, the Price and the Delivery.

This is my 2nd one, having had my 1st one permanently ‘borrowed’ by my son. We’ve both been using the 1st one for years, & it’s been brilliant, especially when compared to the numerous ‘budget’ ones I’d tried beforehand.

Have now gone cordless & that’s definitely the way forward. Wahl are clearly a cut above the rest….

I struggle with trying to maintain my beard. Every few days my face looks a mess and I spend at leat 30 minutes doing my beard. This is better than my current trimmer already. My current one is wired which can be annoying at times.

I hate having to change the heads to change size, I’ve also lost a few of them. This trimmer has a dial which lets you change the the size and it has 20 different length settings and it’s wireless. It’s made everything so simple.

I can get a perfect shape up with ease. No wires and no extra parts to fiddle with. It’s light and it looks good. What more do we men want. Battery life is decent it has roughly 50 mins usage on a 10 hours charge.

So I need to remember to charge it after every use as I do spend about 30 minutes doing my beard every few days. I also like this little pouch it comes with, handy for my travels.

Having used this over Christmas I found it really good for shaving my hair every couple of days. But I found the first use of it to be not so good. I hadn’t shaved my hair for a few weeks, my hair was still very short though but the trimmer struggled a bit to start with.

It kept getting clogged up. The trimmer was easy to unclog the blades though as the plastic guard slid off easily. Over the next few days I would shave my hair every couple of days and the trimmer had no issues.

It’s cordless and battery operated which makes it so much easier than a corded one. It’s light too so it doesn’t weigh my hands down as I use it. Good trimmer for everyday use but not the occasional trim though.

This is great quality trimmer with everything you need to maintain designer stubble or keep your beard looking sharp. It’s shape, size and weight make it a pleasure to hold and the dial adjustable length control is super simple to use.

This trimmer makes short work of my beard, trimming the thick hair with ease, even if I leave it quite long. A full charge lasts me through so many uses that I forget the last time I charged it. It’s perfect for travel or to pack in my gym bag.

My wife has used it to neaten up my hairstyle too and it worked great. This Braun beard trimmer is excellent value for money and easily recommended.
