Hair Clippers NZ | BaByliss Pro, Gamma+ & Wahl | Zilion NZ
Hair Clippers in New Zealand
In a barbershop or at home, the clipper does most of the heavy lifting in a haircut. A good one cuts through thick hair without snagging, holds a consistent speed as the battery runs down and blends cleanly from short to long. Our clipper collection covers professional cordless clippers from BaByliss Pro, Silver Bullet Stylecraft, Gamma+ and Wahl, along with clipper and trimmer combos and storage pouches.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of every brand here, so each clipper is genuine stock. You will find barber favourites such as the BaByliss Pro FX Lithium, LO-PRO FX825 and SNAPFX, the BaByliss Pro x Tomb45 collaboration, the Gamma+ Boosted, Shorty and X-Ergo, and the Wahl Magic Clip.
About Our Clipper Collection
Modern professional clippers are almost all cordless, powered by lithium-ion batteries, and many now use brushless motors that run cooler and last longer. The blade is the other half of the story. Taper and fade blades with adjustable levers let you open and close the blade for blending, and finishes such as titanium and DLC (diamond-like carbon) help the blade stay sharp and glide smoothly.
Ergonomics matter if you cut all day. Low-profile clippers such as the LO-PRO and FXONE LO-PRO sit lower in the hand for control on fades, while full-size clippers like the FX Lithium are built for bulk removal. Swap-battery systems on the FXONE and SNAPFX mean you never wait for a charge mid-cut.

- Longer-lasting blades. Titanium and DLC blades resist wear and glide smoothly.
Hair Clipper Buying Guide
Professional barbers. Choose a high-torque cordless clipper with a fade blade: BaByliss Pro FX Lithium, LO-PRO FX825, SNAPFX or the Gamma+ Boosted. Add a second battery or a swap-battery model for back-to-back clients.
Fades and tapers. Low-profile clippers and DLC fade blades, such as the LO-PRO, FX3 and Gamma+ Shorty, give the closest control.
Bulk removal. A full-size clipper with a powerful motor, such as the FX Lithium or Silver Bullet Stylecraft Rogue, clears length quickly.
Home haircuts. A simple cordless clipper such as the Silver Bullet Easy Glider, with a set of guards, is easy to learn on.
Add a trimmer. Outlining, beard edges and necklines are easier with a trimmer. A clipper and trimmer duo is good value. See Trimmers.
Plan for guards and blades. Replacement blades and guards keep your clipper performing. Browse Clipper Blades & Guards.
How to Look After Your Clipper
Brush hair out of the blade after every cut and spray it with a clipper disinfectant or cooling spray. Oil the blade regularly while it runs: a few drops across the teeth and at each side keeps it cutting smoothly and stops it running hot. Check the blade alignment if it starts to pull, and replace blades when they dull. Store the clipper in a pouch or case, and keep the battery charged according to the manufacturer's guidance.

Hair Clipper FAQs
How do I choose a hair clipper?
Think about how often you cut and what you cut. Barbers need a high-torque cordless clipper with a fade blade; home users can start with a simple cordless model and guards.
What is the difference between a clipper and a trimmer?
A clipper has a wider blade for cutting and blending larger areas. A trimmer has a narrow, fine blade for outlines, edges, necklines and beards.
Do I need a clipper and a trimmer?
For full haircuts with sharp lines, yes. A clipper does the bulk and fade, and a trimmer handles outlining and detail.
Are cordless clippers as powerful as corded ones?
Professional cordless clippers with lithium-ion batteries and brushless motors are now powerful enough for full-day barbering.
What is a brushless motor?
A brushless motor has no carbon brushes to wear out, so it runs cooler, more efficiently and usually lasts longer.
What is a taper or fade blade?
It is an adjustable blade that opens and closes with a lever so you can blend smoothly between lengths. Fade blades cut very close for skin fades.
What is a DLC blade?
DLC stands for diamond-like carbon, a hard coating that helps the blade stay sharp, resist wear and glide smoothly. The FX3 and Influencer FX Lithium clippers use DLC titanium blades.
What is the BaByliss Pro FX Lithium?
It is a cordless lithium clipper with a high-torque brushless engine and metal housing, available in Gold, Silver, Rose Gold and Influencer Red and Black.
What is the BaByliss Pro LO-PRO FX825?
It is a low-profile cordless clipper with a 6,800 RPM brushless motor and an ultra-low metal shield cover, made for fades and tapers.
What is the BaByliss Pro SNAPFX?
The SNAPFX is a cordless clipper with a dual-battery interchangeable system, so you can swap batteries and keep cutting all day.
What is the FXONE system?
FXONE is BaByliss Pro's universal swap-battery system. The FXONE LO-PRO Clipper uses it, and the batteries are interchangeable across FXONE tools.
What is the BaByliss Pro FX3?
The FX3 is a lightweight, high-torque cordless clipper with a brushless digital motor, an ultra-thin DLC/titanium fade blade and 5-detent quick-taper control.
What is the BaByliss Pro x Tomb45 Clipper?

What are Silver Bullet Stylecraft clippers?
Stylecraft is a professional range sold by Silver Bullet, including the Rogue, Rebel, Instinct X and Saber 2.0 clippers.
Which clipper is best for home haircuts?
A simple cordless clipper such as the Silver Bullet Easy Glider is easy to use. Add guards so you can choose the cutting length.
Which clipper is best for skin fades?
A clipper with a fade or DLC blade and fine taper control, such as the BaByliss Pro FX3, LO-PRO FX825 or Gamma+ Shorty, paired with a foil shaver to finish.
Which clipper is best for thick hair?
High-torque full-size clippers such as the BaByliss Pro FX Lithium or Gamma+ Boosted power through dense, coarse hair.
What do clipper guard numbers mean?
Guard numbers roughly match the cutting length in eighths of an inch, so a higher number leaves hair longer. Check each guard set for exact lengths.
How often should I oil my clipper blade?
Oil it often, ideally before each cut or every few cuts on a busy day. Run the clipper while you apply a few drops across the teeth.
How do I clean my clipper?
Brush hair out of the blade after each use, spray with a clipper disinfectant or cooling spray, and wipe the housing. Remove the blade occasionally for a deeper clean.
Why is my clipper pulling hair?
Usually the blade needs oiling, cleaning, realigning or replacing. Dense, dirty or wet hair can also cause pulling.
Why does my clipper get hot?
Friction from a dry or dull blade causes heat. Oil regularly, use a cooling spray and replace worn blades.
Can I replace the blade on my clipper?
Yes. Most professional clippers take replacement blades. Browse our Clipper Blades and Guards collection and check compatibility with your model.
How long does a clipper battery last?
It depends on the model and use. Swap-battery systems such as the FXONE and SNAPFX let you keep a spare charged.
Can I use my clipper while it charges?
Some clippers can run corded while charging and some cannot. Check the product page or manual for your model.
Should I zero-gap my clipper blade?
Zero-gapping moves the cutting blade closer to the edge for a very close cut, but increases the risk of nicks. It is best left to experienced barbers.
Can I cut wet hair with a clipper?
Clippers work best on clean, dry hair. Wet hair clogs the blade and is harder to cut evenly.
Can I use a hair clipper on my beard?
Yes, with a guard, for bulk trimming. A trimmer is better for shaping edges and lines.
What is the difference between a clipper and a shaver?
A clipper cuts hair to a set length. A foil shaver cuts at skin level for a smooth finish on fades, head shaves and necklines.
What is the Silver Bullet Headliner?
The Headliner is a Silver Bullet clipper designed for precision and consistent performance in salon and home settings.
Do you sell clipper and trimmer sets?
Yes. We stock the BaByliss Pro LO-PRO Clipper and Trimmer Duo Nightfall, the BaByliss Pro Clipper and Trimmer Duo Gold, and Silver Bullet The Beast and His Bro, Rogue Combo and Dynamic Duo sets.
Do you sell clipper pouches?
Yes. Silver Bullet textured pouches in Black, Silver and Gold and a Patent Black pouch protect clippers and tools.
Which clippers are best sellers?
The Gamma+ X-Ergo, Boosted and Shorty, the Wahl Magic Clip and the BaByliss Pro SNAPFX and LO-PRO are among our most popular clippers.
Is a professional clipper worth it for home use?
If you cut regularly, a professional clipper lasts longer, cuts more cleanly and holds its power. For occasional trims, a simpler cordless clipper is fine.
Do clippers come with guards?
Many do. Check each product page for included guards, combs, oil, brushes and chargers.
Can I take my clipper on a plane?
Clippers with lithium batteries usually need to go in carry-on luggage. Check your airline's rules before you fly.
