FAQ

How do I use Taper King® Premium Guide Combs?

Our guide combs are simple and easy to use. Take a look here for step by step instructions and an instructional video.

Where can I see all the guards you offer?

A chart of all the guards we offer can be viewed under "Our Range of Guards" accessed from the menu bar or by clicking here.

Will they fit my clippers?

Our guards come in two different sizes which are compatible with full size clippers made by Wahl/Conair or Oster/Andis. Please take a look at the size charts here or on the product page under "Clipper Compatibility" for more information.

What hair types do these work for?

Our Taper King® guards don't discriminate and work on all hair types. If you're having issues achieving the desired results, try cutting from a slightly different angle, taking shorter passes with the clippers or begin from the front of the head instead of the back. 

Are both the left and right side included in each order?

Yes! Each order placed contains 2 guards. One marked "R" and the other marked "L" so you can be sure to get the best results possible.

When placed side by side with another guard that has the same number (e.g. #3), the lengths of the tines don't match the equivalent Taper King Guards. Does this mean the hair will be cut at a different length?

No, there's nothing to worry about! The tine length does not affect the length at which the hair will be cut. The tine depth as illustrated here is what is responsible for the length at which the hair will be cut. 

I used your guards and they caused lines of uncut hair, what do I do now?

If this is happening to you, don't worry- the fix is simple and easy! 

This issue is caused by moving the clippers across the head in a strictly horizontal method instead of in a more diagonal direction as recommended. The visibility and severity of these lines depend on other factors such as the hair thickness, color and direction of the hair growth. 

In order to remedy this issue, cut with the clippers at a diagonal angle, making multiple passes as you work from the back of your head to the front of your head. Go ahead and take as many passes as required to remove the lines, taking your time doing this.

We made a quick video here to help.
