They rated how easy the clippers were to use, assessing the quality of the design and the attachments, as well as the final results. We also asked a small panel of barbers and hairdressers to give their opinion, so we could find out what the professionals thought too. Instead, they recommend something with plenty of oomph. "It's pretty much a case of horsepower," says Denis Robinson, barber at Ruffians. "A good, strong motor means your clippers will accept and hold a good charge, with no tailing off in cutting power as the battery fades out." That means you want to look for high voltage – a pair that'll store plenty of juice – and try to avoid anything that may compromise their longevity. As with anything in life, you get what you pay for, and if a stint at barbering college isn't on the cards, then you probably don't need a set of hair clippers powered by something akin to a lawnmower motor. But going cheap can be a false economy – bad hair clippers mean bad haircuts, always and forever.

The main thing that I always say is clean and oil your clippers,' says Robinson. 'When you buy a set they have a little dusting brush and oil in the kit. It really helps to get a smooth cut if you dust the hair build up off the blade during the cut. And definitely once you’ve finished dust all the hair detritus off and then use a little oil on the blades. Consider blades too, Robinson advises. "There are a lot of different types available now – titanium, carbon and the like – but, to be honest, you can't beat a good classic set of steel blades," he explains. "Look for a thin profile – a blade that sits closest to the skin – as this allows for a closer cut and more control."

Battery life, clipper lengths and even weight are all important factors. Some things are going to be more important to you than others. Robinson, for example, places great weight on the, ahem, weight of his clippers. Choosing a pair of clippers can be confusing at times because there are so many blade types and materials, ranging from different grades of steel, titanium and even ceramic, out there. Like most things though, ultimately you get what you pay for.
