A hair clipper has a vacuum system for collecting hair debris created by the cutting blades. Air flow through an adjustable air inlet is divided into multiple paths, including at least one primary flow path and at least one separate secondary flow path. A debris trap intersects both the primary air flow path and the secondary air flow path. The primary flow path allows air flow through the first path to be higher than a secondary air flow through the second path before debris accumulates in the debris trap. The primary air flow decreases as debris accumulates in the primary air flow path and the secondary air flow approaches and perhaps exceeds the primary air flow, whereupon some debris accumulates in the secondary air flow path as air is diverted through the secondary air flow path.

A surgical hair clipper assembly includes a clipper body and a blade assembly connected to the clipper body. The blade assembly includes a moveable blade configured to reciprocate to remove hair from a skin area and a blade housing that houses the moveable blade. The blade housing has a guide surface that faces the skin area during a hair removal process. A suction attachment includes a clipper attachment connected to the clipper body and a nozzle structure connected to the clipper attachment and extending distally to an end. The end is located no more than about ten millimeters proximal of a plane defined by the guide surface.
