A clamping head for an epilator comprising: - a first clamping unit including at least two spring plates (151, 152), preferably only two spring plates, arranged adjacent to each other on a plane traversing an axis of rotation of a stopper plate, each said spring plate has a first spring plate end which provides a first spring plate clamping surface (151A, 152A), wherein the first clamping unit does not engage with any coil spring; - said stopper plate preferably made of plastic is adjacent to said first clamping unit and having a stopper plate clamping surface opposing said first spring plate clamping surface of each said spring plate (151, 152), preferably at least one of said spring plate is biased to enable said first spring plate clamping surface (151A, 152A) thereof to engage or disengage with said stopper plate clamping surface to close a first space; during rotation of said stopper plate with said first clamping unit, said first clamping unit reciprocally moves away from and towards said stopper plate such that said first space between said first spring plate clamping surface (151A, 152A) and said stopper plate clamping surface opens and closes for clamping hair; wherein the clamping head for the epilator further comprises an actuating unit having: - a plurality of actuators (180, 190) each of said plurality of actuators has a first actuator end (180A, 190A) pointing towards said stopper plate clamping surface, and a second actuator end (180B, 190B) opposing said first actuator end, each of said plurality of actuators being arranged along said axis of rotation; - an end plate being arranged coaxially with said stopper plate, wherein said end plate has a plurality of end plate actuator apertures corresponding to said plurality of actuators to allow respective said plurality of actuators extending through said end plate; and - a base member being arranged coaxially with said stopper plate, said base member has a base member surface on which has an actuating portion, said base member surface facing towards said stopper plate clamping surface. - a first clamping unit including at least two spring plates (151, 152), preferably only two spring plates, arranged adjacent to each other on a plane traversing an axis of rotation of a stopper plate, each said spring plate has a first spring plate end which provides a first spring plate clamping surface (151A, 152A), wherein the first clamping unit does not engage with any coil spring; - said stopper plate preferably made of plastic is adjacent to said first clamping unit and having a stopper plate clamping surface opposing said first spring plate clamping surface of each said spring plate (151, 152), preferably at least one of said spring plate is biased to enable said first spring plate clamping surface (151A, 152A) thereof to engage or disengage with said stopper plate clamping surface to close a first space; - a plurality of actuators (180, 190) each of said plurality of actuators has a first actuator end (180A, 190A) pointing towards said stopper plate clamping surface, and a second actuator end (180B, 190B) opposing said first actuator end, each of said plurality of actuators being arranged along said axis of rotation; - an end plate being arranged coaxially with said stopper plate, wherein said end plate has a plurality of end plate actuator apertures corresponding to said plurality of actuators to allow respective said plurality of actuators extending through said end plate; and - a base member being arranged coaxially with said stopper plate, said base member has a base member surface on which has an actuating portion, said base member surface facing towards said stopper plate clamping surface.
