Gifts to Avoid
Wahl Deluxe Clippers
While these clippers are the utmost in precision and strength, you may not want to get your barber a set of clippers as a gift. Not because they wouldn’t use them, but because they may have their own preferences when it comes to the tools that they use. And while the Wahl Deluxe Clippers are excellent quality, there may be another pair that they prefer. Better to give them a gift card to a store that would sell a variety of different clippers, so that they can choose their own.
Professional Hair Scissors
Along with clippers, you may want to let your barber select their own professional pair of hair scissors, so that they can get the pair that best suits them. Scissors come in a wide variety of styles, handles, sharpness, etc. and it would be better to let them choose their own. These scissors are an excellent example of professional hair scissors, but they just might not be the right ones for your barber.
Stinky Candles
No one wants to sit in a salon that stinks! So, while these hilarious stinky candles are sure to make them laugh, they may not be the best gift to give if they’re planning on using it in the salon. This candle here features the lovely scent of “shart”, which is surely something that people aren’t going to want to smell while having their hair done! Keep the gag gifts for another time.
