Best Overall: Wahl Professional Cordless Senior ($138)

Those who work in barbershops have different needs than those of us still giving ourselves DIY cuts at home. Made for professionals by professionals, the Wahl Professional Cordless Senior provides a thorough cut no matter what style you or your clients are going for. With three premium cutting guides in the box — 1/16", 1/8", and 3/16" in size — as well as a styling comb, cleaning brush, blade oil, and a red blade guard, this shaver has it all.

Best Professional Clippers: Wahl Clipper Elite Pro ($50)

Because you might not trust yourself or your housemates to use industry-grade clippers at home, the Wahl Clipper Elite Pro is the best choice for amateurs. Yet despite being made with consumers in mind, Wahl didn't cut corners (no pun intended) in the process of paring it down. Along with a high-performance, albeit near-silent motor, the Elite Pro includes with it 10 different guards, shears, scissors, a cleaning brush, a cape, a bib, and a comb at no extra cost.

Best for Fades: Wahl 79445 Extreme-Fade ($35)

There's nothing quite like a fresh fade. However, as much as you might like them, paying a visit to your local barber every time you need another trim can put a huge dent in your budget. Fortunately, the Wahl 79445 Extreme-Fade exists to keep your high-maintenance hairstyle intact without the recurring charge. Specially designed for smooth fade cuts and touch-ups, the clippers come with 10 attachments and a powerful motor to boot.

Best for Pet Hair: Wahl Professional Chromado Lithium ($162)

Grooming a pet is quite literally a different beast from grooming yourself. Created specifically for professionals, the Wahl Professional Chromado Lithium is a safe way to navigate trims on all your furry friends. Not only does it work with dogs and cats, but it can also be used on horses, goats, pigs, and cattle too. A 5-in-1 blade ensures the utmost flexibility while a quiet operation helps to keep your pet or livestock 100 percent stress-free.

Best Budget Hair Clippers: Wahl Color Pro ($28)

The Wahl Color Pro is evidence you don't have to pour out your savings to get a decent enough cut. Fit for any at-home barber, this affordable clipper set is color-coded so you know exactly what size guard you're using without having to squint at the small text printed on each one. Since it's wireless, you can use it off the cord for a whole hour before it's time to recharge. But even then, you can continue your trim with the cable plugged in for the sake of convenience.
