Hey bro wanted to say thank you for your content… Yall have helped me out a lot. I’m a new barber and your stuff has helped me out a lot bro. You da man
Thats crazy. That you would pick the instincts over the jrl onyx. Not only are they noisy as hell but they get hot with just one hair cut and after a few cuts they get all loose. Seems like your a little bias
I can understand why you might pick the JRL site a great clipper but as it shakes out when all factors are considered, the instinct is a better purchase
Maybe I'm missing something here but i think the babyliss battery option is the best out of all of them. I guess im thinking like a carpenter with battery operated tools but i rather just swapp a battery out than to be corded, swinging it all over the place.
I try all the new clippers and style craft for clippers is the best trimmers i gotta go wit the cocco i have 6 trimmers on my station n i only use the cocco n the red rebel trimmer for kids n under neck
@@hkfadezz soon you guys will be able to order a clipper. That internally is the same. It is sold by Gamma . I don’t believe it is available yet, but it should be available shortly
The rogue is just an outstanding value and you don’t need all that other stuff. Most of us have everything from 100 extra chargers to plenty of guards.
What would you recommend for personal home use to trim face, beard? instead of simple Philips.. Budget up to 150$ Something that you can do zero-gap, 1mm, 1,5mm, 2mm, and over
I feel like this clipper gets a 5 for fading and at LEAST a 3 or 4 for value. You get everything but a dock in the box. But if he would've scored it that way it would have put the vapor up in the realm of SC. So I kinda feel this is a lil biased. Maybe you should put all these out for votes
Great video! been learning alot obout the dfferent machines available. I am not a barber, but I started doing my own hair years ago. I decided to step up to better machines than what you get at big box stores. I just picked up the BabylissPro fxone BlueFX shaver, trimmer, and clipper, which are great for my needs. I think the BlueFX clipper is a little better value, as it comes with 6 guards from .5 - 4. Although, I am not sure how its blade is compared to the other Babyliss blades. Also, I should never run into the battery life issue, as I will only be cutting my own hair. There's something about a good fresh cut that boosts they way you.feel.
Yes 100% so do the instincts Neither one of them are a good clipper if you’re using them back to back JRL onyx are the go to clipper if you’re gonna fade and do cut after cut
I got the cyborg cause I’m left handed and switched the lever but couldn’t get used to it at all. I been using right handed clippers for too long to get used to it
wahl magic clip, or wahl seniors are best for beginners. i’d even throw the sc rogue and sc rebel in there too. i wouldn’t get anything with a taper blade only bc it wont take out the first guideline and he’ll need another clipper with a fade or taper blade to take that line out. if i had to pick one i’d say rogue or magic clip
@@neworleansaints3743 to be honest on the trimmers try to start off big with the Sabers those are the only trimmers i havent had a problem with. Clippers really your choice there is some good Amazon clippers (not trimmers) on shavers any Babylyss, or Style craft shaver will do
Bro, I got a JRL Onyx Clipper and everyone says that the fading system is different to other clippers. What exactly is different about this clipper? I've never cut before, so I would cut using a tutorial from UA-cam. Does that work if the people in the video have a different clipper, such as Stylecraft or Babyliss, even though the fading system is different on the JRL? So can I copy the steps in the tutorial 1 to 1 from videos where people use other machines than JRL and it would look just as good?
@@040.sanchez my friend don’t get hung up on all the semantics between the clippers. You can learn with any of them and you can do great haircuts with your JRL. What they are trying to say is the lever opens slightly more, which is only a very slight amount in perceptible to the eye, and it will cause hardly any difference in your haircut you’re good bro just get some reps in and you’ll be fine.
@@UA-camBarberAcademy Thank you bro you mentioned that the JRL opens up more than other clippers. If I’m watching a tutorial where they close the lever all the way, should I close mine all the way too, or just to the last step? I wanna make sure I’m handling the difference right so the fade looks good.
My brother, I have a lot of hair on my body and I am bald 😂 What is the best device you can recommend to shave my entire body? I also want to shave my beard and shave my entire body. What brand do you recommend for a complete package? I am very confused. I don't know which brand is better. Please guide me. Thank you, brother.
@@NucciMendenhall I didn’t say it wasn’t but if you think that’s the best Clipper in the industry, I don’t know what metric you must’ve based this on? The low runtime, the lack of items in the box, the lack of charging options the blade that is not the best for removing bulk and to be fair it’s also a bit thick for zero gap. I’m gonna be honest I wish I could just have an opinion and say it, but unfortunately, I have to prove every single inch of ground out here.
I was about to buy the rose gold fx one with the charging stand. After hearing your review does the stand not work with this clipper? Only the battery charger? There is no dock for this clipper to keep a charge?
@@melissahabernigg no but if you look for some of the older ones they have stands without removable batteries. As for the FX one the only way it can charge is by taking the battery out and plugging it into the charger.
@@jkendall0426 these are actually one of the easiest clippers to fade with a lot of people really love them if they can get over that little weight hump
I'm looking at the models, especially JRL one and i can't find the model numbers or release times anywhere! I've only found your channel yesterday and it's amazing, but i don't have an easy way to tell which is the old or the new model. Even JRLusa has 2020 in all its urls and i'm confused af lol. Is the JRL Ghost same as onyx, just different colour? Also what's the difference between StyleCraft Pro Instinct vs StyleCraft Pro Instinct Metal Edition, is the metal heavier, how much? Online descriptions really lack the basics :(
@@jeroxpavlic there is only two models you have the 2020 C and the Onyx they have one that is white. There is no difference and a sidenote the previous model is an excellent clipper as well and came with a taper blade that is very forgiving.
@@UA-camBarberAcademy Thanks! I found a JRL FF2020 Silver Collection of clipper and trimmer for 254 eur, while SC pro instinct clipper is only available as metal edition for 218 eur, and trimmer separately (179 eur regular / 198 eur metal edition) JRL ghost set sounds like a steal, which would you recommend?
Went with sc pro instinct metal trimmer instead of clipper - I'm balding and go closer to 0 anyways, but not shaved. Wanted better flexibility to use it on beard, and added a heat comb, hoping it will have the biggest positive effect on self grooming beard.
Unfortunately, I translated it because I don't know English. Forgive me if I misinterpreted something, but I really don't know what device to buy. Please help me.
@@josephcastillo6742 the only downside I would say is the weight. I like the weight because when I started I had a really heavy hand so they helped me balance it out
I’m a beginner barber and I’m cutting with some cheap Amazon clippers. I’m looking for a new pair of clippers and I can’t decide between the JRL ONYX or the gold fxone. Also i was wondering what trimmer I should get
jrl all the way, practically the same blade better feel in the hands, twice the battery life, quieter, can hear the crunch and can take out a zero line
You can check out my favorite trimmer video of 2025. It was just released. Honestly bro, grab yourself a rogue. You will find it the easiest to blend with and also the cheapest.
Not a beginner beginner by any means but I want a new clipper thats within budget that has the clicks on the lever. I already have the magic clips. Any recommendations?

Oster octane detachable blades. Love them

use cool care when instinct get hot
True
its the way they cut did you make it to 12th or no
Onyx suck,they’re too forgiving,like something more aggressive and accurate
Got to admit the staggertooth blade is a keeper. I put it on my alphas and it was a game changer.
I ain't mad at your list!!!! I am a BabyLiss dude but the Instinct is a fire clipper even though I don't own one yet...
Haha thanks man!
My personal favorites are saber 2, rebel/boosted, and the instinct
Great video. Keep giving the people what they want
Thanks, will do!
I love videos like this. Great job
No play is crazy
They haven’t hit the clout needed I guess
Best content around!

Nunca cuando eras independiente de las marcas valía la pena ver tus top ya sabía quién iba a ganar antes de entrar al video.
brother how can you give the JRL 3 stars for price at 200 bucks but the Rogue 5 stars for 219 bucks ??????
@@liamrios884 the rogue is $109. The guidelines are pretty clear.
Instincts are crazy good
jrl and instincts are the only comparators
Jrl suck
Instincts hands down!
🔥🔥🔥
I try all the new clippers and style craft for clippers is the best trimmers i gotta go wit the cocco i have 6 trimmers on my station n i only use the cocco n the red rebel trimmer for kids n under neck
Time to finally open up and grab some Instincts I see!
they worth it bro
@michaelmysing929 I’m checking them out tmrw. Saleslady is coming through at the perfect time
Jrl just the right look
Put the regular wahl fade blade way smoother
Always w the heat 🥵
In Germany we cant even purchase the saber 2

stylecraft ergo and instincts
💈💈💈JRL Just the Right Look… well, I’m telling you, I was asking myself the same thing, and Cherry the Barber answered me two days ago.
He took into account the price of the ergo but the accessories (value) of the rogue. the ergo is 20 points easy
The rogue is just an outstanding value and you don’t need all that other stuff. Most of us have everything from 100 extra chargers to plenty of guards.

I just ordered the instincts in aus and they said there coming in january

I’ve had three lopro sent them all back , so loud can’t zero gap . Un usable

Not going to bother watching, it’s going to be one of the SC obviously as that’s where you get paid.

I rock with my gamma boosted, but I'm open to trying new machines.
Do the gamma cyborgs get hot after extended use like an hour or two of usage?
Yes 100% so do the instincts
Neither one of them are a good clipper if you’re using them back to back JRL onyx are the go to clipper if you’re gonna fade and do cut after cut
Love my cyborgs and they never get hot?!? I live in France though and the voltage is different
I got the cyborg cause I’m left handed and switched the lever but couldn’t get used to it at all. I been using right handed clippers for too long to get used to it
I wanna try the gamma shortys but I don’t think they’re gunna come to the us
So with all considered……what should I buy my teenage son who wants to learn how to cut and fade? Budget, but will all around be a good pick?

Saber all the way bro 😎
The runtime for the original Instincts is wrong
JRL means 'Just the Right Look'
That’s 4 words
@milouno2426 acronyms don't include every word bub.
Should you zero gap all your clippers?
I think it’s wise to have at least one pair of zero gapped but no, you do not need to zero gap all of them

Why no one is talking about the gamma+ boosted 🤔 just ordered them on black friday😅
Do your prefer og instinct or metal edition
I want to try the sabers
i’m debating between the saber 2s, the low pro and the original instincts thoughts on which one i should get?
The lopro with the echo blade thank me later
Instincts man. Wont disappoint
Saber 2
I heard in other videos that the JRL's fading system is different from other? what exactly is different there?
I love my boosted. But i can't find replacement blades in canada. Its been 3 months its just been sitting there.
