An epilator having a body and a plucking cylinder which is rotatable about a rotation axis for plucking hair. The plucking cylinder is movable with respect to the body between an extended position and a retracted position. Further, the epilator has elastically deformable elements biasing the plucking cylinder and at least two rollers mounted on the same side of the body as the plucking cylinder with the plucking cylinder interposed between the rollers. When pressing the rollers and the plucking cylinder to a flat surface the force exerted by the rollers exceeds the force exerted by the plucking cylinder.

The present invention relates to an epilator comprising a pair of corresponding and separable epilator heads (2,3; 21,21 A) for trapping hair for removal. Each head (2,3; 21,21 A) has an exposed portion for allowing at least one or more parts of each head (2,3) to get in touch with a user's skin. Each head (2,3; 21,21 A) has a rotating body (17) having an axis of rotation and being adapted to be rotated by a driving unit (I), wherein the rotating body (17) is adapted to trap the hair for removal at the exposed portion, and wherein the axis of the rotating body (17) is essentially concave relative to the exposed portion of each head (2,3).

A hair cutting device is provided with a magnetic drive assembly. The hair cutting device includes a cutting blade, a stationary blade and a magnetic drive assembly including a drive shaft coupled to a magnet and a bracket or yoke attached to the cutting blade. The bracket includes one or more magnets positioned on opposing sides of the drive shaft. The one or more magnets of the bracket and the magnet coupled to the drive shaft create an attractive and/or repulsive force between the magnet and the bracket generating linear movement of the bracket.
