These hair clippers are the ultimate gift for home hairdressers

This story is part of 84 Days of Holiday, a collection to help you find the perfect gift for everyone.

If you’re like me, you stopped going to the hairdresser during the pandemic and instead learned to cut your own hair.

I was never very good at this, and there were definitely a few occasions when I wore a baseball cap to Zoom meetings to hide the debris of my attempts. Today I go to the hairdresser every two weeks.

Others fared better. My friend has taken advantage of the at home hair cutting experience and enjoys the flexibility of being able to touch up himself whenever he needs one. He can save time and money by going to the hairdresser less often.

So I’m going to get him an upgrade this year.

Why it’s a great gift: Hair clippers make a great gift for anyone who wants to save a little money and keep their hair looking neat. And the Oster Fast Feed clippers are the best home set I’ve found. They’re barbershop quality, tough, sharp and surprisingly quiet. And the price is reasonable, especially for the quality.

What You Pay: The Fast Feed clippers have a list price of $97, but you can get them on Amazon for around $70 to $75, depending on the color you choose. At this price they will pay for themselves after a few cuts. Now I won’t feel so bad about asking my boyfriend for a haircut.
