All the Tools You Need To Give Yourself a Haircut…
The next thing you’ll want to consider adding is a nice set of clippers. Before we go further, we have to clear up a major misconception: Clippers and trimmers are not the same thing. Clippers tend to be a bit heavier and fit better in your palm. That’s because clippers are designed for bulk hair removal. On the other hand, trimmers tend to be lighter and skinnier because they’re designed to go around the edges of your head and handle detailing around the ears, neck and sideburns.
When it comes to clippers, you can’t go wrong with anything from Wahl, Shim said, which is why we recommend the Wahl Self-Cut Personal Haircutting Kit. It’s easy to use for beginners and runs pretty quietly given how powerful it is. Plus, you get a whole kit’s worth of attachments and grooming tools, including 12 attachments, two combs, scissors, a maintenance kit and a travel case.

Andis Professional T-Outliner Trimmer
BEST TRIMMERS
You’ve successfully used your clippers to cut the bulk of your hair, but now you want to tidy up your ears, sideburns and perhaps any facial hairlines. For that, you’re going to need a solid trimmer. Shim recommended a few professional brands for clippers and trimmers, like Oster, Wahl and Andis, but Andis Professional Outliner/Trimmer stood out to SPY the most for its professional quality and its price point. If you’re planning on cutting your own hair at home for the long term, a properly oiled and cared for Andis trimmer will last you forever.
Andis Slimline Pro Trimmer
ALSO CONSIDER
Our best overall pick for trimmers may turn some men off due to its cord and lack of additional guards. If that’s the case, Andis still has a trimmer for you in its Slimline Pro Trimmer. It offers similar quality blades, it’s also wireless and slimmer than the top pick and it comes with additional plastic guards.
SELF-CUT SYSTEM 2.0 – LED Lighted 3 Way Mirror
BEST MIRROR
You should already have at least one mirror in your bathroom. That’s good for cutting the front, but if you want to cut the back, you’re going to need an extra mirror, Shim told SPY. One product she recommended was Self-Cut System’s lighted 3-way mirror. The additional lighting and viewing angles make touching up those tough spots a bit easier, and the mirror comes with a free app to help you learn how to cut your own hair at home.
