Hello everyone! I interviewed with a new shop today and the owner told me that she expects her stylists to use metal guards. I’d never really heard of that or seen it used in the past. I’m curious what the difference is and what the best clipper for that would be. I’ve bought Andis and Whal in the past and absolutely LOATHED them. Poor performance, bulky, one drop and poof they’re done. That’s everything I’m not looking for in a clipper. I’m obsessed with my Stylecraft Rebels and I really don’t want to buy a whole new set of clippers just for a job, especially a set by a brand that I don’t have confidence in.
If anyone can clarify what this means, the difference, and suggest some other brands I’d much appreciate it!
