Anywhere to buy hair clippers?

lcstress2012

With all barbers shut, I need my haircut so need to buy a hair clippers. Argos closed so can’t go there. Anyone know of anywhere else that sells them at a reasonable price?

Aldi and Lidl have them (?) or will soon if they have any commercial sense.

Tesco have the Wahl clippers for 15 euro, the ones Argos had for 13.

My partner was rather enthusiastic in trying them out and now I am glad I am locked in for a while.

A decent sized chemist shop would sell them.

Any recommendations for a cordless one?

AllForIt

I cut my own hair all the time. Unless you buy an expensive Whal product the blade become useless after a just a few uses. Even with the expensive ones you have to oil it or the the blade will fail eventually.

I bought a Braun one with ceramic blades that don't need oiling for about 20 quid I think in either Argos or TKMAX, I don't remember, and I've been using it about 3 years and never failed me.

For those that have never did this before, it takes some time to build up skill to give yourself a haircut.

My advice is don't be adventurous. Just pick a length fairly short your happy with and cut it the same length all over. It's very difficult to graduate your hair and even if you can do it takes much much longer to do.

You don't need to do it all in front of a mirror. The way I do it is sit on a chair and bend over resting my elbow on my leg and go over the head as much as you can. The reason for that is your arm will get quite fatigued quite quickly when you're doing it yourself in an awkward position.

Then when you feel you've most of it cut use a mirror to find the bits you've missed.

edit: you will find it a bit difficult to do the bits around the ear. Leave that till last with mirror. Decrease the length of the blade a bit to get them.

edit 2: It's much easier to get an even looking cut if you keep it fairly short, so if you don't want a completely 'skint' look use the comb attachment one above the shortest one.

I got a Remington one in power city for €25!

I got one of these a while back and find it fairly good, Remington hc4250 hair clippers. A good wide trim but you need a small trimmer as well for awkward parts. Lasts about 2ish cuts before charge and can be used plugged in.
