“We
care, a lot,” says Michelle, “And we are both perfectionists when it comes to hair.” We asked Michelle and Matt to trial the new Panasonic Professional hair Clipper and here’s what they had to say.
WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE CLIPPERS? MICHELLE: I like that they are not as heavy
to what I am used to. The weight distribution in the Panasonic clippers feel great to fade with, as they rest in your palm nicely.
MATTHEW: I agree with Michelle here, the
weight and comfort of use is great. I especially like the t dial length adjustment (took a while to get used to but is definitely worth taking the time), these are definitely my go to for children’s hair as they are far quieter than my other clippers. They also cut through the thickest hair like a hot knife through butter.

HOW CONVENIENT ARE THE CLIPPERS TO USE? MICHELLE: The running time is awesome
off 1 charge and the dial eliminates a lot of unnecessary clipper gauge change outs. Super convenient when travelling (and we do a lot of this for work).
MATTHEW:
Super convenient to use, the charger base is definitely a must for all clippers and I am amazed not all clippers of this calibre have them.
HOW DO YOU FEEL THE CLIPPERS ASSIST YOU IN YOUR CUTTING STYLE? MICHELLE: I believe the Panasonic’s raise
are on and vibrate far less than my others, I am able to use them on my young clients who have sensory issues.
WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONALISED CUTTING DO YOU FEEL THE CLIPPERS CAN BE USED FOR ALL STYLES? MATTHEW: Down my end of the studio the Panasonic’s can definitely be used for every client who passes through my chair.
MICHELLE: I am a little more restricted as long haired women mostly require scissors/ razor, but for my short haired/fade, undercut design and blunt style cuts they are brilliant (definitely my go -to)
the bar for clipper over comb techniques (due to the speed and sharpness of the blades) especially for long blunt bobs. I think any hairdresser would get great satisfaction from this clipper over comb feeling.
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND OTHER BARBER/STYLISTS USE THE CLIPPERS AND IF SO WHY? MICHELLE & MATTHEW: Yes!
I am a massive fan of taking weight out before getting to the finer details of a fade and these clippers definitely assist at both ends of this. These clippers are a game changer, because they are so quiet when they

MATTHEW:
We can definitely recommend and we have recommended to friends and on numerous hair forums already. They continually impress and we love using them.
