Andis has just introduced three new cordless trimmers and clippers for men’s grooming and touchups.
The new professional grade SlimLine Pro Trimmer from Andis is cordless and ideal for necklines, edging and light-duty grooming. The 5-ounce trimmer runs fast and cool with professional blade tension and can be zero-gapped. The carbon steel, close-cutting T-blade has a Comfort Edge finish that helps prevent nicks and scratches for smooth skin.
Powered with a Ni-MH battery, the SlimLine Pro carries enough charge for all-day average use and recharges to full power overnight. Lightweight and contoured, the trimmer fits comfortably in the hand and lessens arm fatigue.
“The SlimLine Pro gives hair professionals more freedom for trimming and grooming,” says Karen Formico, vice president of marketing for Andis. “It lets stylist and barbers work easily around clients without worrying about cords.”
Made in the USA, the SlimLine Pro comes with a charging stand with indicator light andfour attachments: 1/16”, 1/8”, 1/4" and 3/8”.
The Trim’N Go from Andis is a cordless personal trimmer for light grooming and touch-ups. Compact and ergonomically shaped to comfortably fit in the palm on the hand, it keeps mustaches, beards and necklines looking fresh. The cordless feature makes all-over manscaping easy and convenient and a T-blade provides closer shave definition.
“Trim’N Go is a great item for salons to retail to their male clientele for personal grooming,” says Karen Formico, vice president of marketing for Andis. “And small enough to be used as client appreciation or stocking stuffers.”
The 14-piece Trim’N Go kit includes a cordless beard/mustache trimmer, storage/travel pouch, six attachment combs, tapered barber and mustache combs, blade cleaning brush and blade oil, protective blade guard and trimming instructions.
The Supra 120 ion adjustable blade professional clipper from Andis sports a longer lasting, detachable lithium ion battery that provides non-stop grooming for 120 minutes; and fully recharges in 60 minutes.
With 5,300 cutting strokes per minute, and a powerful rotary motor, the Supra 120 ion has a removable 5-position blade that adjusts from #0000 to #1. The dual voltage 10.5-oz clipper has a break resistant soft grip housing and is comfortably designed to reduce wrist pain. It comes with a charging stand with indicator light; four attachment combs 1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” and blade oil.
“This medium duty clipper is a favorite of hair professionals,” says Karen Formico, vice president of marketing for Andis. “It lets stylists and barbers work smarter and quicker, whether they are in the shop or on location. The lithium ion battery runs full power up to the point of recharging; the blades never lose cutting speed.”
