Abstract: The pivotable blade hair clipper and suction collection system cuts hair from the head or any body surface, plus safely and immediately suctions away clipped hair debris. The system provides a vacuum canister, suction hose, suctionable clipper handle, pivoting blades, back-reach attachment, rolling and combing guard/gauges built-in mirror, and safety features. The vacuum switch powers the clipper motor utilizing wiring housed within the suction hose. A finger-pivoted blade assembly provides ergonomic angles for cutting the hair. Hair debris is suctioned through the clipper handle and collected in a personally sized vacuum canister. A back-reach attachment extends the clipper to hard-to-reach body surfaces. A built-in mirror encourages safely positioning the canister and hose. Safety venting nullifies nicks. Minimal external cording prevents tangled cords. Three types of guard/gauge provide conventional hair trimming, combing motion for flat surfaces, or rolling motion for comfort at the underarm and bikini.
