Professional barbers, hairdressers, and hair stylists in Singapore are essentially operating in a service industry. Part of this expectation is that your tools and supplies are well maintained and in good condition, such that hair services can be performed to the best standards possible. In this regard, your clippers are of utmost importance as quintessential tools of the trade. You should never skimp on hair clipper maintenance, and while the battery life of cordless clippers and a professional, clean exterior are important, there is nothing quite as crucial to clipper maintenance as taking good care of your hair clipper blades.

Earlier this year, the WAHL Legend of Barbers 2022 competition opened its gates to professional barbers, hairdressers and hair stylists from six Southeast Asian countries.

Each professional performed the art of their craft live on stage for not just the esteemed panel of judges from Wahl, but a physical audience of 700 and over 1,000 viewers watching the WAHL Legend of Barbers livestream. There and then, they worked with a suite of the best Wahl barber shop tools and hairdresser supplies to deck out professional hair models in hairstyles they deem worthy.
