Abstract
Various designs of a system for charging a hand-held, hair cutting device are shown. The system includes a hair cutting device and a charging station. The hair cutting device and charging station each include an inductive charging coil. At least one of the hair cutting device and charging station include a magnet to pull or bias the hair cutting device such that the respective inductive charging coils are brought into alignment, allowing for charging of the hair cutting device.
