As a professional barber, having a thorough understanding of the different clipper guide combs is critical to achieving the desired cut. Wahl's guide comb system is one of the most comprehensive in the industry, and with its wide range of options, it can be confusing for those who are relatively new to barbering.

Honing your skills and having all the right tools are important for professional barbers and hair stylists in Singapore. However, running a barber shop or hairdresser business also means that you must acquaint yourself well with how you can best service each customer that walks through the door.

In the barbering world, a blend is when you transition between two different lengths of hair, such as a taper and a fade. Regardless of said lengths, the end result should be a seamless transition where the hair appears to have blended together naturally to produce a clean haircut. Due to its innate importance, mastering the art of blending is essential for professional barbers in Singapore. Whether you’re using your hair clippers to perform a fade, taper or even just a trim on the sides, almost every finished haircut requires some type of blending technique.

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.
