But among pros with the technical capability, a taper lever is an essential element for blending and fading between different lengths of hair, especially on the side of the head.

We found it was very important to have a nice set of stiff, well-labeled guide combs that attached securely. Thinning shears are particularly useful for reducing hair volume, eliminating bulkiness, and creating seamless transitions between different lengths of hair.The Color Pro Plus’s storage box is a little smaller than the Elite Pro’s, and it’s not quite as sturdy. This Remington also has a thick but pliable 8-foot power cord that seems tough enough to last years but also wraps easily for storage. It’s a great way to play with your style and introduce some hipster vibes if your wardrobe is more eclectic.

In 2021, before narrowing down the options, we recruited Simon He at Techni Salon NY to similarly test contenders. One of our experts suggested that advances in magnetic motors are making pivot motors effectively obsolete.In our testing, the taper lever on the clipper’s side didn’t slip from vibration (something we’ve experienced with other clippers). During our at-home testing, we were able to try out clippers on a wide range of hair types, from extra-fine to thick, from straight to kinky, and from thin (or thinning) to dense.
