Don't worry about doing a week of research, we have done that all for you. I have listed below the clippers that you should be considering. Its not a long list that will take you ages to go through, its just a couple of clippers that we know are exactly what you are looking for.


Super Quiet Hair Clippers

The best hair clipper for kids are the Super Quiet Hair Clippers  and they are top of the list for as far as I am concerned.

They are around £25 and come as a full kit with everything you will need and run at about 60 decibels so they are really good for the kids.

Includes a multi-cut clippers, an user manual, a power adaptor, a cleaning brush, and 4 combs: 1/8"(3mm), 1/4"(6mm), 3/8"(9mm), 1/2"£¨12mm), a rechargable battery.


These clippers are different from many other units out there, that they have an "R-shaped" rounded edge on the blades. That makes a big difference in reducing the risk of any pulling or accidental catching of the hair. Tugging normally occurs when the clippers are taken away from the hair, and happens if a hair gets caught in the teeth.

They are extremely quiet in use and that's down to a dual blade system. They come with Titanium blades and a moving ceramic blade that combine to give a brilliant cut with very litte noise or vibration. It also means they stay super sharp.

The precision motor gives very low vibration and ultra quiet design, free it from noise. At around 60 db they are ideal to make kids and even toddlers feel at ease. We cant recommend these highly enough. Read our full review here
