Wahl Clipper Reviews 

Wahl MC3, the one with color coded guards is very disappointing. This is the 3rd one I've bought and it has blown in less than a year.

Crappy customer service . Lying straight to your face . German made is no longer and this company is selling crap along with doing away with the good German line . Literally these people are lying staring to you . What do you mean you can’t give me my order number ? WTH !!!!!?????? I will NEVER deal with wahl again .

Feels like it’s slicing my face since the first time using.

I’ll never get a wahl trimmer for my face ever again.

The worst product, you rely on it for your business, don't, choose Conair or Sony, this product sucks, charging never works, switch before you regret it

I bought the magic clip clippers they lasted one month and will not charge or turn on.. some time has passed I needed a foil shaver so I purchased one from Sally's that I needed for work the next day,same issue will not turn on will not show light of it charging,Sally's will not let me return it saying that it is up to wahl to replace it same thing I was told about the clippers,very convient for wahl to take money and leave consumers in a loss of a tool and money espiecally since the Wahl company is literally impossible to get a hold,ji intend to look into away to make them accountable in this wrongful purchase twice now for myself and I am sure there is others

I spent $155.14 on the 5-Star Cordless Magic Clippers. Used them 3 times before I was awoken in the middle of the night to them having turned on by themselves. Would not turn off. The clippers became very hot and began leaking red dust. I called customer support and they told me to make a service request online, so I did. It cost me another $20 to send them in for repair. Took exactly 1 month to get them back, and immediately began experiencing the exact same issue, although this time it was accompanied by a squealing noise.

Sent videos to Wahl demanding a refund, and the ticket was closed with no response. So I opened a dispute with PayPal and was denied by a bot in 3 minutes due to the dispute being after 30 days of purchase (PayPal doesn't care if merchants screw their customers over). I reviewed PayPal's buyer protection policy which states PayPal writes the buyer may be entitled to dispute the transaction with [my] card holder if [I] do not agree with PayPal's resolution. It is still unethical on Wahl's end and they should refund the money to PayPal in the event of a successful dispute with my bank, as the liability lies with the merchant (Wahl Corporation). But if PayPal wants to be just as shitty as Wahl, then PayPal can lose out on that capital. Regardless, before filing a chargeback, I sent another service request and another message to Wahl asking for a refund. Let's hope I hear back. If not, I have more than enough documentation to get a successful dispute in my favor from my bank.

I will never buy from Wahl again. Ever. Stay far away from them as defective clippers appear to be very common from them, and they will send you the same shitty clippers back then ignore your emails. Even the longtime stylists I know don't buy from Wahl anymore. Gee, I wonder why. I would give 0 stars if I could.

I went on the website to inquire about a replacement blade for my clippers. They have a 'Contact Us' form which I filled out until I came to the section that says 'File Upload'. I didn't have a file to upload so I left it blank. The last section in the form asks for an 'Idea Name'. What?? What does that mean?? So I just put two question marks in that box and hit 'submit'. I get an error msg that says 'please complete all required fields'. So I go over to the WahlBot chat box that says 'what do you need help with'. I entered that I needed help with the Contact Us form. The WahlBot replied with "Please fill out this CONTACT US FORM and someone will get back to you as soon as possible." You can't make this ____ up.

This is the third time I have purchased a Wahl Hair Trimmer, and each one has been absolutely WORTHLESS. They break after using for one week. Very bad quality. Do not waste your time or money on such a pathetic piece of garbage.

Scam company — they never reply to your emails, and you won't get any support if the product breaks, even during the warranty period.

I bought a trimmer and it stopped working after 2 months. I sent 3 emails and never got a reply.

My Wahl Clipper stopped working after two years. I sent it in to the customer service center. Not only did they not recognize my package arriving for three weeks, even though it said it arrived in three days, the customer success team was so slow to respond, I wonder if they're even in business!

When you do ask a question, they give you one-word or simple short sentence responses with minimal detail, like "Hello, how can I get an update on my clippers?" They'll simply respond with "Don't have one."

Whoever is in charge of the customer success team or the company in general needs to be replaced by someone who is competent and who can understand how train and upskill the teams customer playbook and tools and have a "How can we delight the customer" approach. This isn't hard people. Now Im on hold for 45 min and then I was hung up on.

Even if you are understaffed or underfunded, you train your team to say, "Hey I'm so sorry for the delay. I know how frustrating this is for you and your pets and your business. We realize the impact this has. We're working our hardest to make a difference for you but please be patient as we work overtime with minimal staff to keep up. People are very patient when you're honest with them."

Instead they seem elusive, cold, and sometimes even combative when your frustration is present, even though it's warranted. The ONLY saving Grace was Karlee who was the most responsive person I spoke with. She would usually email back first. If it wasnt for her direct emails I would have thought my clippers were lost for good!

They've had my clippers for over a month now and I was told they're shipping them back last week and I haven't heard from them since with no tracking number. My product is $300 and I'm pissed. The actual product itself is fine but I simply can't justify buying it in the future with such a terrible experience from the company.

I bought the Wahl cordless clippers and beard trimming set with colour coded guards, wow the beard trimmer is the worst I've ever used, it takes forever to have a shave because it just doesn't cut great, it feels blunt, I'd get a better much more quicker result using a knife and fork! Just can't believe how shockingly bad they are!I'd save my money and get a trimmer from elsewhere, I've paid £5 for one before and it was much better.

i own a retail and sharpening business thats been open for over 50years in the same location, i sale over 10 brands of clippers and liners. 9 out of 10 liners sold new are set to the customers liking, from line ups to shaving, they do not come like this out the box 'New. Most Department store clippers are not professional use or strong enough, better to by from beauty supply, wholesale, clipper sharpening stores. Most Department store liners are just ok but you wont be to satisfied there for lite or easy usage and some get the job done. i sale more wahls than every other clipper or liners combined and i explain to customers who bought those wahls the difference and why they should buy these wahls they trust me, buy them and they Love them everytime, There is a huge difference and they will out last the competition hands down. Wahl has been around for over 100 years and when you see 10, 20, 30, reviews of defective or disappointment i truly understand but millions of clippers sold and i mean millions its not even 2 percent that is an outstanding record. im Kevin and i just wanted to give some perspective on this because 90 percent of us dont no anything about clippers, how to get them to work as they wish or how to take care of them and this is the 1 company that i see for a fact is customer first and that dont excuse there response to those customers who had bad experiences. And yes buy from Amazon but if you buy a clipper for $25 to $40, 9 times out of 10 sorry to say bought you might not be satisfied. Kevin

If I could give zero stars, I would.(2 because it did arrive)

My Wahl clippers developed a serious and frankly alarming fault after only two months of normal use — they started operating by themselves. Not “glitchy,” not “intermittent,” but genuinely switching on and behaving unpredictably in a way that made them unsafe to keep anywhere near skin or even plugged in unattended.

I documented it and sent Wahl clear video evidence showing exactly what was happening. You would think that would be the point where a reputable company simply says, “That’s not right — we’ll replace it.” It wasn’t.

Instead, what followed was an exhausting loop of requests, checks, delays, and procedural obstacles. Re-explaining the issue. Waiting. Being redirected. More hoops. More time lost. More frustration layered on top of something that was already a clear product failure.

This process felt less like customer support and more like I was being put on trial for their defective product.

If you are still set on buying Wahl, I would strongly recommend purchasing through Amazon or eBay instead. At least then you’re dealing with return systems that don’t turn a faulty product into a drawn-out ordeal.

Deeply disappointing experience from start to finish.

I bought a KM supra last November at the Tru North Grooming Show and Pet Expo. Spent $482 on this clipper. It is 5 months old. The hinge is terrible. Already failing. The whole clipper runs hot - that is the body of the clipper. The blades run hot as well. It is supposed to be designed for use with wide blades. Went to the Tru North Show Friday April 3 (brought the clipper with me). They told me they can't do anything and that I should fill out a service form. This I did the day of. They acknowledged my complaint and said 48hrs for a response. It is now April 15th and I have not had any other contact from them. Considering I have two Opal clippers and 4 sapphire clippers which Ukal service with no cost as they have a lifetime warranty. Joyzee also has better customer service. Used to be a big fan of wahl products. This poor experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. Not impressed as the clipper is an expensive tool that I bought for my busy salon and staff to use. Customer service has definitely taken a downturn.

Purchased a hair clipper from my local Costco and did not use them yet but I ended up contacting wahl about some questions and never got a reply.
That's a good indication that if I end up with warranty issues, they will not be there for me. I also find the clippers to be very cheaply made. I will be returning them.

Avoid like the plague. Cheap unreliable products with worse customer service.

I just bought a trimmer set at Costco. 2 differnt Wahl shavers/trimmers and they are both absolutely horrible. The dont cut woth a damn and just pull at my hair. Yes i oiled before using and they are the wost trimmers ive ever TRIED to use. Their not even usable. My wife told me i would not like them when i was buying them and damn if i should of listened. They will be going back as soon as im back home. I can't see how they remain in buisness with quality so poor. A chainsaw would cut better than this trimmef set.

Wahl Super Groom Premium Rechargeable Dog Clipper Kit, was blunt and not fit for purphose returned for a refund.
Wilo never use ther brand again.

me & my husband bought these clippers. wasted 40$ . down the drain. the furst two times i used them on him they cut perfectly the third time & the fourth time they seemed to bit the dust. i DO NOT recommend buying or using them

I'm writing this review because I have bought all my clippers, new blades ,grease fir clippers, for over 40 years. When I would call about a problem I was having, I got help immediately, if that didn't fix it I'd mail it to them. Customer service is top notch, very kind, caring and very helpful. I've NEVER had a problem with anything eseboughten from me. 40 years ago there were only corded clippers . As time went by new stuff, cordless clippers are a blessing. So when I had called to buy a new Bravara, the girl at Customer service said you should really check Amazon because they can sell them cheaper than us!! So during covid I needed my razors sharpened. I asked her to call me when they were ready and I'd pay her ASAP on the phone. I had 4 blades to get sharpened! I got my box with the blades (sharpened)in it and no bill. I called immediately and told them what happened and the girl said, it's on us. Other people are having a very difficult time and this is just our way of giving back. That really melted my heart ❤️ This is a great company. I will never stop patronizing them!
