With a reputation as an industry powerhouse brand, Wahl Professional has outdone itself with the launch of the Vapor. With an early release taking place at LV Barber Expo and Barbercon Dallas, Ambassador Brittany Calzada tells us all about the brand-new tool.
The Vapor is the latest innovation from Wahl Professional, designed to elevate the grooming experience for both barbers and their clients. This tool merges advanced technology with Wahl’s trusted performance, aiming to provide the ultimate precision and comfort.
Proving to be a big hit before the tool even officially hits shelves, The Vapor completely sold out at the LV Barber Expo; and it’s no surprise as to why. Brittany told us:“With the Vapor, Wahl created an entirely new blade to work alongside the tool. The F32 Fade Out Blade has 32 fine ball-pointed teeth designed to glide over the skin and avoid snagging on pores. When closed, this then becomes a balding clipper which will in turn save you strain on your trimmer. The Vapor comes with a new high-speed brushless motor with adaptive speed control, allowing barbers to maintain complete power through all hair types.”
Brittany was one of the first to get her hands on the tool and test it ahead of the limited-edition release, so what did they think? Brittany told us:
“I immediately loved this clipper. I like how it fits in my hand and how the tool feels when cutting hair. With this clipper, I developed a new fading process that took my haircuts to the next level.
“Achieving a seamless fade is all about perfectly blending out that bald line. Because the Vapor has a balding blade and adjustable lever, it effortlessly smooths out the hard-to-blend lines allowing your fade to pop.”
One of the key components of the Vapor is the fact that its blades are made from high-quality stainless steel, precision-ground to stay sharp longer, delivering clean and precise cuts every time. Additionally, the tool offers adjustable taper control, allowing for versatile styling options from fades to sharp edges. On top of the quality, Brittany noted one of the other unique features:
“Usually, balding clippers don’t come with a lever, but the Vapor does! That will give you more range when blending that tricky bald line.”
“The research and development team works closely with barbers to see how to improve our innovation on tools. That’s what I love about Wahl,” Brittany enthused. “They don’t just give us the same clipper in a different housing. They take the time to create something new and game-changing.”
