BaBylissPRO SkeletonFX Trimmer Charging Base Chameleon

The BaBylissPRO Boost+ SkeletonFX Trimmer Charging Base -- Chameleon (FX7870IBPBASE) is the matching dock for your SkeletonFX outlining trimmer. It gives any FX7870 trimmer with a hanging hook a steady home on the counter and a simple way to top up the charge between clients, so the tool is always upright and ready.

At a glance

What it is: A charging dock for SkeletonFX outlining trimmers
Finish: Chameleon, to match the chameleon SkeletonFX line
Fits: Every FX7870 SkeletonFX trimmer with a hanging hook
Charging: Runs off your trimmer's own adapter (adapter not included)
On the base: Holds the trimmer upright and steady
Best for: A tidy, chair-side charging spot

Why it earns a spot on your station

The SkeletonFX is an exposed-blade outlining trimmer you pick up and put down constantly through a cut, so where it lives matters. A dedicated base keeps it in one place, upright and charging, instead of lying on the counter with its blade against the surface. The cradle seats the trimmer by its hanging hook, so it stands ready between passes and you reach for it without hunting for a cable.

Key features

A solid, weighted base designed to keep the trimmer upright and steady
Cradles any FX7870 SkeletonFX outlining trimmer that has a hanging hook
Charges through the adapter that came with your trimmer (adapter not included)
Chameleon finish to match the chameleon SkeletonFX trimmer and your station
Keeps the exposed T-blade off the counter between clients

What to expect

Set the base on your station, connect your trimmer's own adapter, and drop the trimmer into the cradle whenever you are not using it -- it sits upright and charges. It uses the adapter you already have, so there is nothing new to configure, and the charge tops up between clients rather than only overnight.

Who it is for

Barbers who want their outlining trimmer charged and within reach at the chair
Anyone running an FX7870 SkeletonFX trimmer who wants a fixed home for it
Stylists building a chameleon station and looking for the base to complete it

Who it is not for

Anyone expecting a power adapter in the box -- it is not included, and the base uses the trimmer's own
Owners of a Boost+ clipper, who need the ClipperFX clipper base instead -- this cradle is shaped for the slim SkeletonFX trimmer
Trimmers without a hanging hook, which the cradle relies on to seat the tool

Professional tip

Wipe hair dust off the cradle and keep the charging contacts clean and dry at the end of each day. The trimmer only charges reliably when it seats fully and its contacts meet the base cleanly, and fine cut hair is what gets in the way.

How to use

Place the base on a flat, dry part of your station.
Connect your SkeletonFX trimmer's own adapter to the base.
Seat the trimmer in the cradle by its hanging hook so it stands upright.
Leave it docked between clients to keep the charge topped up.

Good to know: Keep the base, adapter and contacts away from water and wet hands, use only your trimmer's original BaBylissPRO adapter, and let a wet or freshly rinsed trimmer dry before you seat it on the base.

This base is built around the SkeletonFX outlining trimmer line. Pair the chameleon base with the Boost+ SkeletonFX Trimmer -- Chameleon it is styled to match, keep the SkeletonFX Trimmer Guards to hand for guarded work, and find spare blades, covers and more on the BaBylissPRO accessories page.

Frequently asked questions

Which trimmers does this base fit?

It fits any BaBylissPRO FX7870 SkeletonFX outlining trimmer with a hanging hook -- the Boost+ gold, black and chameleon models and the GunSteel version all sit in the same cradle. Only the colour of the base changes.

Does it come with a power adapter?

No. The base charges using the adapter that came with your SkeletonFX trimmer, so there is no separate adapter in the box. You plug your trimmer's own adapter into the base and dock the trimmer to charge.

Is the chameleon base any different from the other colours?

Only in finish. The gold, black and chameleon bases are the same base with a different colour; they cradle and charge the same FX7870 trimmers. Pick the one that matches your trimmer and station.

Do I still plug the trimmer in, or does the base charge it?

The base is the charging point. You plug your trimmer's adapter into the base, and the trimmer then charges through the base whenever it is docked -- you do not plug the trimmer in directly while it sits there.

How do I keep it charging reliably?

Wipe hair dust off the cradle and keep the charging contacts clean and dry, so the trimmer seats fully and makes good contact. Keep the base and adapter away from water.
