My first set of clippers, 32 years ago, were WAHL clippers — starting with a corded Designer and a corded Peanut. It’s incredible how much has changed, not only in the innovation of WAHL tools but also in education. I’ve been fortunate to be part of WAHL Professional’s education and product development teams for the past 17 years, witnessing firsthand the evolution of the brand that has stood at the pinnacle of excellence in barbering, styling, and grooming tools for over a century.
In the beginning, we had the original V5000 Electromagnetic corded clippers, which later upgraded to the V9000 motor, boosting power and speed — most notably in our corded WAHL Senior. But thanks to innovation, we now have the most powerful cordless clippers on the market. WAHL’s difference comes down to durability, performance, and that signature blade. My entire lineup is now cordless — not just for the freedom from cords, but because the performance is unmatched. My personal favorite is the Gold Cordless Magic Clip, although WAHL’s newest clipper, the 5-Star Vapor™ might just take its place soon.
Let’s dive into this incredible tool:
- Brushless Motor with 8,000 RPM: Constant speed control means the motor “revs” up through thick, dense hair to maintain a consistent speed.
- NEW F32 Fadeout Blade: With 32 fine ball-pointed teeth, this blade transforms the clipper into a balding clipper when closed. The lever allows for seamless fading, saving time and reducing strain on your trimmers. DLC coatings keep it cool, resist corrosion, and stay sharp four times longer.
- New Ergonomic Housing: The updated shape is lighter, with a rubber non-slip grip for better control and evenly balanced weight — the lightest 5 Star Clipper on the market.
- 150+ Minute Run Time with Quick Recharge: A 5v cable that fits all other WAHL tools, a battery indicator, and an upcoming insert for the Power Station keep you going longer.
What more can I say? It’s a beast! I had the chance to test the blade before its release, and it’s truly amazing.
Throughout my career, I’ve always relied on WAHL tools. From starting with a Designer and Peanut to journeying through models like the Senior, Super Taper, and Magic Clip, each clipper holds a special place in my professional story. From the Razor Edger to the Hero, and the classic Detailer to advanced trimmers like the Hi-Viz and A•Lign, WAHL’s innovation has been my constant companion.
Beyond our incredible tools, WAHL’s commitment to education stands out. From its inception, WAHL Professional has cultivated a vibrant barbering community and empowered artists to achieve their dreams, sparking transformation in countless lives, both in and beyond the barber chair. Our new ‘Make it With WAHL’ platform celebrates this legacy by equipping the next generation of makers with the tools to accomplish remarkable feats, shape culture, and build meaningful careers.
I’ve seen our education team grow, adapting to new trends while honoring classic barbering techniques. It’s thrilling to see young talent emerge and learn from seasoned pros. WAHL
seamlessly blends trends and tradition into its educational lineup.
Trends may come and go, but one thing that remains constant is my passion for education and WAHL clippers — empowering me to connect, create, and carry forward the legacy of this iconic brand.
