Choosing Hair Trimmers
Why do I need trimmers as well as clippers for beard and hair?
The main difference between hair clippers and trimmers is the blade size. Clippers are used for long hair and a trimmer is meant for short hair. If you want to get a closer shave, you want to use your trimmer to get that next level of detail and precision. If your client is looking for something like a buzz cut you would want to use both a clipper and a trimmer. The clipper to remove the majority of the hair, and the trimmer to get a close shave. For the most polished haircut we would recommend you have both a clipper and a trimmer to hand, one to shorten the hair, the other to work on details.
What are the benefits of using a hair trimmer?
- If used properly trimmers have lots of uses. Made with thinner blades, they are designed for a closer cut, meaning you can replace your shaver with a trimmer.
- Styling a beard can be made easier by using trimmers, this type of styling would be difficult when using clippers.
- Many trimmers come with hypoallergenic blades, so may be preferable for clients with sensitive skin.
