I have looked all over and can't find hair-clippers.

The only kind I have located are the ones with almost no extension pieces and they are only able to cut hair at a very short length.

Can someone help me by telling me where I can buy this product?

I got mine on amazon back in the day, and they should ship here. Don't know how much extra for shipping though.

This is not easy to explain....

Go to Hansung University station on the light blue line (one stop north of Hyewha). It's a small station. On one side, there are two exits on the South side of the street next to the elevator. One of them goes to Hyewha, but don't take that one. Take the exit stairs right next to it go up and out in front of a small bar with a train photo on the front. I can't remember which exit number -- sorry. Anyway, exit out of that exit and keep walking straight past the Family mart (or maybe it's a buy the way). Keep walking down the sidewalk for maybe 200 to 300 meters, until you reach crown bakery on your right. Turn right up that small street at the crown bakery. Walk up that small hill, and keep going straight for another 150 to 200 meters or so. After about 20 meters, if you see the "Burble Bar" on the 2nd floor of one of those buildings not far from the Crown Bakery, then you're heading in the right direction. Keep going straight the rest of the 150 meters or so until the road forks around the K-mart grocery. Take the left fork (still going straight) and just past that fork, you'll see a small ATM bank, followed by a restaurant or two, and finally there will be a small store selling all kinds of stuff. You can find electric clippers in there, with extention attachments, for about 35,000 won or so.

Bassexpander,

Thanks a lot. That's really nice effort from you to explain that entire process. I am very seriously tempted to actually try to go there and get them now.

It sounds extremely confusing though, and to be honest I'm a bit worried that I won't make it back alive. LOL

Any idea how late that store is open during the week? I might do my best to try to go there Monday. My hair is in desparate need of a cut so I really have to do something about it soon.

Thanks

Ambition, they're open until 10pm, I think.

Go to any salon or (as I did) a general electrical shop (they are everywhere) and ask for 이발기 (E-bal-gi). I personally use ones for dogs, as they are far more durable, have 5 length attachments (3, 6, 9, 12, 14mm) plus those on the clipper itself (1, 2, 3mm) and they seemed more readily available than those for humans. I paid 90,000 4 years ago, but haven't paid for a haircut since.
