Conair vs Wahl – Who makes the best clippers?

Wahl are one of the biggest brands in the grooming industry – if you’ve ever gone to buy a set of hair clippers, then you’ve undoubtedly come across their brand. They produce some of the best products in the industry, so it’s no surprise that their brand is considered as one of the best. Conair also produce some awesome products – most famously through their subsidiary brand, Babyliss. But is one of these brands above the other, or are they equal in stature and quality?

Well, the majority of people agree that Wahl clippers actually have the edge on Conair Clippers. This is not a reflection on the Babyliss brand, but Wahl clippers are some of the best quality ones you’ll find so it’s not surprise that they have a better track record.

That doesn’t mean to say that you should discount Conair altogether – they do still produce some really good quality hair clippers. So, lets have a look at the two brands to see which might be better suited to you.

Conair vs Wahl – Brand History

Wahl are one of the longest running companies within the haircare industry – in 2019, they’ll actually be 100 years old.
