Warning: my $180 clipper died mid fade on a Saturday and I had a salon full of walk-ins
So this went down two Saturdays ago at the shop, and I'm still a little salty about it. I had a 2pm fade booked, kid wanted a skin fade with a hard part, nothing crazy. Halfway up the side my clipper just quit, no warning, no stutter, dead in my hand with a strip of hair half cut. I check the cord, I check the outlet, nothing, the motor was shot. I had four walk-ins waiting and one working backup that runs hot. What I did was finish him with the backup and a trimmer, took me 40 minutes instead of 20, and I comped his cut because I felt bad. Here is my hot take: if you have been running the same clipper for over a year on 6 days a week, replace the motor or buy a second one before it quits on you mid cut. I learned that the hard way in front of a full shop. What's your backup setup look like, do you keep a spare plugged in or just hope for the best?
