What is the proper name of the product that the barber uses to shave a client's head or shave a client's sideburns? For those in the US, do any of you think I could pick one up at Target or someplace similar?

Do not confuse "beard trimmers" with "hair clippers" difference is the blade width.

[abouthotels]

Clippers, trimmers, shears, electric clippers. All names you can find those under.

And yes, you can get them at pretty much any place, i believe. I think I bought mine at Wal-Mart.

All you had to do was read the URL to figure out what that tool is called.

I was wondering if they had a formal name. What do you think they would say if I walked into the store asking for AC Power Clippers? They would probably look at me and go

Why would you walk into a store asking for them. Just walk to the hair section and poof, i'd bet they'd be there.

I think I've looked for them at Target before but I probably didn't look in the right place and I couldn't find them. Anyhow I will look again and should I need to ask someone I will know the proper terminology.

[RenyBontes]

If your asking instore ask for a "Hair Clippers"

Some people call them self grooming shears

[duexjepevef]

heh I use hair clippers on my face

i used to aswell before mine stopped working, was a really quick shave to, just finish off with a razor if you dont want a bit of stubble.
need to get me some more, worked better than an £100 electric shaver my wife bought me and cost a hell of alot less!

[Ehlgamxf]

I recently just bought one with a ceramic blade as it doesnt need oiling every use and hopefully stay sharp for ages, plus it also uses a rechargable battery which is really handy specialy as i do it myself.
I wouldnt touch a cheap steel blade clipper again the blades went blunt quick and constantly going out of align.
Blade 2 all over FTW.

A hairdresser - don't call them a tool to their face though, those scissors can sting.
