Philips has introduced to the Nigerian market, the first set of clippers designed to ensure no bumps and less rash.

The two clippers in the range, the Philips Clipper Pro -ideal for professional barber styling- and Philips Clipper Home -for personal use- offer blades designed to avoid cuts and bumps for optimal skin comfort, close precision and durability.

Chioma Iwuchukwu-Nweke, General Manager, Philips Personal Health–West Africa said, “Philips conducted extensive research across a cross-section of men in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa; the Philips clipper was developed and extensively field tested taking into account the core concerns that came out in the research – mainly the need to get that clean shaven feeling but to avoid the scratches, cuts and bumps that sometimes develop on the skin.”

She added, “These are the first clippers Philips is introducing into the African market, underscoring our commitment to delivering innovation based on the need of the consumers. Our new clippers cut your hair, not your skin. This not only ensures that you have a painless short and sharp look, but also improves your overall skin health.”

The Philips Clipper Pro is designed for a powerful expert trim, cut or shave. Its chrome matt finish is complemented by a smart textured handle for a comfortable grip, and a 2.8m cord to give a greater reach and to easily move around while clipping, it comes with seven Click-on Combs as well as a styling comb and scissors.

The Philips Clipper Home  has lacquering, textured high gloss plastic finish and a 2.4m cord; and comes with four Click-On Combs including the 3mm, 6mm, 9mm or 12mm combs.
