Wow what a night Wahl know how to turn it on and so does Barber Temple, and then there’s the talent… What a line up!

Hair flying everywhere, mad skills and great finishes from our educators driving these new machines with good ol’ American Tech under the hood.

What’s the big deal with the new Wahl Cordless Legend?

Well, plenty my friends, plenty, let’s break em’ down:

• Cutting length 0.7mm to 1.7mm That’s right, not a misprint! These baby’s will extend right out… giving you more ‘fade in your fade’ without having to change guide combs or machines. • 100min Run Time… Nice!

• 226 Grams, super feather weight when it comes to the full-size beasts. (The lightest in the range in Cordless Full-Size Clippers from Wahl)

AESTHETICS:

These Legends remind me of the wood grain station wagons surfers used to drive in the 50’s in Southern California with the colour palette Wahl have chosen on these machines, but the beautiful swing arm adjustable taper lever is retro, and very very cool… to me, these are the most visually appealing machines Wahl have presented.

PERFORMANCE:

Exceptional it would seem, don’t take my word for it, or the paid presenters who raved about it on the night, here is the word on the street from a bonafide purchaser…

“My most recent addition are the cordless Wahl Legends. I’m loving this tool that I picked it up at Wahl event in Brisbane at Barber Temple and have been experimenting with them a lot. I love the extended taper arm, it’s a real game changer for my style of barbering, as I like to predominantly work in free hand and very rarely use guards in my barbering.” Jake Heart @haveheartbarbershop (Read full story on page 32)
