    Anyone know about cutting hair??

    Recently, I've been having my sister cut my roommate's and my hair. She's actually pretty good, but the clippers we have suck really bad. My roommate and I are willing to spend a little more on some decent clippers so we can get free haircuts. The thing is, I don't know the first thing about finding some good affordable clippers that will do a good job of cutting our hair. Any suggestions?

    We bought a pro set from wallmart. It comes with a bunch of length add ons along with a electric clipper, combs, and scissors. I have forgot what the price was though. I do no it was a good deal or else we wouldn't have it.

      Call a local salon and ask them what kind of clippers they use. That's what I'd do.

        I'd go with Candyman5's advice. If you know or have someone who knows how to give a haircut, the price of the clippers don't really matter.

                You guys are confusing me with your blacks and your whites, lol.

                My roommate is Black, I am White/Iranian, as is my sister (the person cutting).

                I just get my hair clipper cut, don't really mess with scissors. I really don't want to buy two sets of clippers!

                Is this the set you're referring to SoMiss?



                If so, my roommate and I will drop 50 on some good clippers. I'm sure they'll cut my hair fine.

                    You could go my route. I have a set of Andis Styliner II's and a set of Wahl 5-Star balding clippers. I used to bald my head with the Styliner II's until the blades became dull. Now I use the balding clippers for balding my head and the Styliner II's for mustache trimming and beard trimming, when I attempt to grow my psuedo beard.

                        You definitely want to make sure you get something with a guard for blending and a something sort of sharp for defining a nice edge.

                          I cut alot of hair on the side, but I actually have my license......
                          out of the 50+ heads ive cut, ive only cut one white guys head, and he was getting a ceasar so it was no big deal.....

                          IMO, its a big difference.....
                          anyone down for some "practice"? lol

                            I have no doubt that it's different, but we don't do anything too complicated. A fade is the most complicated I'll get.

                            We have this barber shop down the street (black-owned), the guy has this sign saying he "cuts all races". I should just ask him what he uses.
