Wahl is giving barbers a chance to put their own stamp on one of its best-known tools with the new 5 Star Cord/Cordless Magic Clip – Customized. For the first time in its 107-year history, the brand is letting customers personalise one of its signature professional clippers, without changing the model's familiar performance for fades and blending.
Through an online configurator, buyers can experiment with different lid and insert colours, add their own logo and see a live preview of the finished design. It's also a way for barbershop owners to bring their shop branding into the tools they use every day.
The customised clipper is available through Wahl's website for $164.99. Orders are made to order and take around seven to 10 business days to process and ship, giving professionals a more personal alternative to the standard model.
