Thoughts on home haircuts (and why I'm fed up with barbershops)
Listen, it's already 2026. Paying a barber every two weeks for a simple fade or buzz cut? We've completely lost it. So I decided to look for hair clippers to buy. I thought it would be simple – go in, click, buy. Yeah, right.
I started digging through forums to see where to buy hair clippers in Israel... like, how much can hair clippers even cost? Turns out there are insane price differences. I did some price comparisons for hair clippers and saw that physical stores in the mall are just ripping you off. So obviously, my direction was to buy hair clippers online. It saves hassle, and – let's be honest – who has the energy to look for parking now.
Somehow I ended up at Topmarket (Topmarket.co.il). Honestly, as an Israeli online hair clipper store, they really nailed it. I found hair clipper prices there that were special online and really surprised me compared to that Zap. Which model? It's not that critical right now, although if you're looking for recommended hair clippers, always go for a strong rotary or magnetic motor. Not some Chinese rechargeable toy that will die on you in exactly two months.
So what's better – cheap or branded?
Wait, don't think you need to break the bank now. There's this thing where people think only barbarian equipment for 1000 shekels is worth anything. Nonsense. Sometimes a cheap hair clipper does the job perfectly, especially if it's just for trimming a beard. But if you ask me what's the best hair clipper to buy for heavy users – it depends on the blades. Carbon steel or nothing.
And by the way, forget about buying through AliExpress and waiting a month. Here at Topmarket, there's an official importer (warranty is no joke, it happened to me once that the blade broke on the second day!), you can pay in installments without interest, and the shipping is super fast. I ordered in the evening, it arrived almost immediately. In short, whoever is still wondering whether to buy hair clippers or continue supporting the barber... do the math yourself )
Questions and Answers (Things I'm Asked a Lot)
How much does a normal machine cost for home use?
Depends. You can find something totally decent for 150-300 shekels. Professional clippers from Panasonic or Wahl can jump to 500 and up. I say – start in the middle. Not junk for 50 shekels, and not something for salons.
Is it really worth the investment to order from Topmarket?
Totally. They have fast shipping and installment options, which is bomb. And most importantly – you get an importer's warranty. I've heard of enough people who bought overseas and got screwed when the battery died after a week.
How do I know which hair clipper is recommended for me?
If you're doing a buzz cut or shaving your head – look for a clipper that cuts close to zero (0.1 mm). If it's for fades and beards... make sure there are plenty of comb attachments in the kit and an adjustment lever on the side. That's the whole secret, actually.
