HEINIGER AUSTRALIA

Their Story Is Your Story

Heiniger Clippers have been in the Australian Hair and Barber scene for one year; that’s right, it’s their first birthday already. In their first year in Australia, they had the Intergalactic Range national launch tour, exhibited, demonstrated, and educated at Expo4Barbers and Hair Festival, sponsored and presented at AMBA and AHIA Creative, and even released the new Tauro model!

They amassed a killer Artistic & Education team, signed ambassadors, and exposed their talent to the industry at the aforementioned shows and expos, elevating the hair journey of these emerging stars of the future as a result.

Heiniger’s commitment to the hair industry is unwavering, and this value resonates across all of its divisions. They are dedicated to supporting the industries they serve and are excited to continue this commitment in the Hair and Barber sector. Their future plans further demonstrate their dedication and vision.

But what have their clippers done?

Word on the Street....

Let’s hear from three professionals who have embraced these machines and see how these tools have impacted their daily work and businesses.

CHEEKY BARBERS UPPER FERNTREE GULLY

Calum Simpson a savvy Barber and businessman, runs his three-chair shop in Victoria. He has grown his business from a solo operation to now having 4 employees. He loves his craft, looking after his valued clientele, and is proud of the space he has created for doing as such.

Calum, What was your experience with Heiniger Clippers prior to going to the stand at Expo4Barbers?

“I had seen a couple of YouTube videos, but it wasn’t something that fully got my attention until I used it hands-on myself on the mannequin heads at the Heiniger stand.

I could see they were a different type of clipper, now, an important part of my arsenal!”

What was your first impression of seeing the whole range spread out and displayed for the first time?

“Very impressive; I instantly gravitated towards the bigger machines; I loved everything about them, the blades, the spring-loaded guards with metal vents; I needed to get those in my hands.

I love clipper-over-comb, I love it! The sculpting....I have had nearly everything out there in the standard size ranges. I even went to every stand and looked at everything on offer and couldn’t stop thinking of the Orion; I came back and bought it, all the blades and the box of guards, and I haven’t looked back!”

Has the Orion changed anything for you?

“The Orion has noticeably cut down the time it takes me to establish the shape of my haircuts, my clipper-over-comb work. One pass with Orion every time!”

Do you think the Orion has improved your creativity?

“Well, that’s the thing, Yes! That time I save at the beginning gives me extra time to finesse the haircut at the end with my scissors and then styling. Using the Orion gives me more time to be creative!”

Any advice for fellow barbers?

“If you have tried clipper-over-comb and given up because it felt like you didn’t have control and the result was a bit ....blah... don’t give up, try these clippers. They are game-changing. Your skillset will improve, and your confidence will improve because they will do exactly what they should do. You need to experience that! That is my advice!”

Bogarts On Felix Barbers

Donna Jellatt is the owner of this corporate styling engine room in the heart of Brisbane’s Financial and Professional Services quarter in the CBD’s Riverside strip.

Packed from 8 am to 5:30 pm Monday - Friday, Donna’s customers are dedicated regulars that mainly fall into that group of clients we all wish for, the regular as a train every 2-3 weeks tidy up, so that they always look the same. Sharp & groomed and top of their game. These guys expect the same high level of service and consistency each visit in return for this loyalty; that’s the relationship. Has Heiniger made a difference? Let’s ask Donna...

What did you think when you first saw the whole Heiniger Intergalactic Range?

“The Sirius and Orion really caught my eye, they looked so cool, they reminded me of the old, ‘old-school’ clippers barbers used to use. I could not wait to try them out!

Cutting with them is like cutting through butter with a hot knife, one pass.... not a single hair left behind.”

Your Technique...

“I have them both, the A5’s, the Sirius and the Orion, I have the 000 cutting blade on the Orion and 00000 on the Sirius. I swap between the two clippers, guard or no guard. This saves me so much time with all my cuts. Fading is super easy; you just flick out with the contour of the head at the bottom of your weight lines or even the hairline. The transition within the cut and the result, is seamless. There is nothing comparable with these machines; I have never cut like this with such ease and confidence.’

Did you try any other models in the range?

“I also have the Libertas T-Trimmer. This detailer is just amazing. I hold it like a pencil, and in my mind, it works like an eraser; for fades, I tilt it and use the last few teeth to blend in any inconsistencies you may have in your cut, indentations on the scalp that leave minor shadows, for instance. For detailing work and hairlines and ears, they are incredible. Clients always comment on how comfortable they are. No scratching whatsoever.”

Any words for your fellow barbers?

“Just jump in; these are amazing. I am totally in love with the Heiniger Clippers and everything they offer and deliver to me as a hair-cutting professional.”

Next, let’s drop into a Hairdressing Salon and see what stylists think of Heiniger Clippers.

HAIR BY CICCONE

Helen Ciccone co-owns this recently crowned International Salon of the Year with her Barber legend husband, Frank Ciccone.

Hair by Ciccone is the world’s first Heiniger exclusive hairdressing salon in terms of all clippers used by the entire staff are Heiniger.

Why did you choose Heiniger?

“Well, Frank was the first to start using Heiniger products in our salon, specifically the Sirius Clippers and the Libertas T-Trimmers. What really attracted him was the quality and workmanship—they’re Swiss-made, which immediately stood out to him as world-class. The precision and reliability of these tools are unmatched, and that’s exactly what you want when you’re working in a fast-paced, high-standard environment like ours. Frank introduced me to the Tauro Clippers, and I have to say, I can’t put them down now—they’ve become my absolute go-to! The performance is just incredible, and they really make a difference in achieving the best results for our clients.”

Why did you become the first Heiniger exclusive salon?

“I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect clipper ever since I started my hairdressing career, and believe me, I’ve tried everything! It’s been a real challenge to find something that truly delivers high performance. But when I got my hands on the Heiniger tools, particularly the Tauro Clipper, it was a game-changer.

The moment you pick it up, you can feel the quality. It has that solid, and dependable feeling in your hand, and you just know it’s going to perform. It’s by far the best tool I’ve ever used, I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. If anyone out there is thinking about upgrading their clippers, they really need to invest in the Tauro Clipper, it’s a must-have!

As for why we chose to become the first Heiniger exclusive salon, it was a no-brainer for us. The performance and quality of these tools are unmatched, and we wanted to offer our clients nothing but the best. Being able to work with tools that we genuinely believe in and trust, makes all the difference in the results we achieve, and we’re proud to align our salon with a brand that shares our commitment to excellence.”

Favourite tools in the range?

“My absolute favourites in the Heiniger range are definitely the ‘Tauro’ Clipper and the Pegasus Mini Trimmer. These tools are not only super easy to use but also incredibly reliable. The Tauro Clipper, with its precision blade, gives me that perfect blend every time. I feel confident knowing it’s going to perform exactly how I need it to.

The Pegasus Mini is fantastic for navigating around the hairline and ears— it’s so easy to manoeuvre! You seriously need to get on board with these tools; they make cutting hair an absolute joy. The Libertas T-Trimmers are another go-to for me, especially when dealing with those tricky spots that require a little extra precision. They get in on all angles effortlessly. And then there’s the Pegasus Midi, which has a curved shape that rests beautifully in your hand and is super quiet. It’s a dream to work with, in the salon. Each of these tools brings something unique to the table, and together, they make my job not just easier, but more enjoyable!”

Clients reactions when you use Heiniger tools on them?

“The reaction from clients is always incredibly positive. They can immediately sense the difference, whether it’s the precision of the cut or how smooth and comfortable the process is. Clients often comment on how quiet and efficient the tools are, which makes their experience more relaxing and enjoyable.

They also notice how seamlessly we’re able to create sharp, clean lines and perfect blends, which really speaks to the quality of the tools. Using Heiniger has definitely elevated the service we provide.”

Advice for hairdressers hesitant to try Heiniger tools?

“My advice to any hairdresser who might feel a bit intimidated to branch out and try Heiniger tools is simple: it’s a no-brainer! I hadn’t found my go-to clipper until now; believe me, I’ve never been fully satisfied with my previous tools. But the Heiniger range is truly exceptional. Once you start using them, you won’t ever look back, and you won’t believe the quality!

They’re unique in their performance and superior craftsmanship, and the fact that they’re Swiss-made speaks volumes. The precision, reliability, and solid feel in your hand are unmatched. So, if you’re on the fence about trying something new, take the leap with Heiniger. You’ll be amazed at the difference they make in your work.”

There are many recurring themes in the answers to the questions and the opinions and observations shared by these quality-oriented professionals.

It’s hard to take compliments and praise sometimes, sure, what’s the saying? If a large number of people tell you the exact same thing, maybe they are onto something.
