As the title says, I"m going to cut my own hair, right now I have some no name clipper brand from wal mart I bought years ago.
I'm looking to buy a set of clippers at a decent price. What's a good quality one?
Thanks!

I have an Andis clipper set, with numerous sizes of blade-guards, and apron, and a carrying case. Best of all, the set contains an instructional DVD that shows you how to cut hair on boys and girls, men and women. I think it retailed for $24.95, and I caught it on sale for $15.
Its hard to cut your own hair. I botched up 3 or 4 haircuts over a 2 month period before I decided to go back to letting the barber do it.
I still use the clippers to trim my goatee about every 10 days. And that's the only thing I use it for. I go to a stylist and let them cut my hair the right way.
Don't get me wrong ... cutting hair is easy if you know what you're doing. You'll do much better if you can get your wife or a friend to cut it for you, and you can tolerate getting a few bad haircuts at the beginning as they work through the learning curve. But cutting your own is a nightmare. At least, that's how it turned out for me.
With all that in mind, my next set of clippers is almost certainly going to be a Wahl. They have a great rep for sturdiness and quality, and its a popular brand among professionals.
Don't get a battery-powered set. They don't have enough cutting power. The corded ones are less convenient, but they get the job done right.
And make sure you read the instruction manual. Especially the part about how to clean and oil the clippers between uses, and learn how to adjust them so the blades don't chatter.
