My friend is a hair dresser and her hair clipper's electrical plug is
coming loose in the wall outlet.

The outlet is about 4 feet off the ground, so the clipper's cord comes
out of the outlet, drops down a few feet and then go up to the clipper
without touching the floor. IOW, it forms an U shape and the constant
movement of the clipper and the weight of the cord eventually loosen the
plug.

It would be easy to attach the cord to the wall a few inches away from
the wall outlet, so that movements of the clipper would not reach the
plug. However, she needs to be able to unplug the clipper and move it to
another station/chair easily.

I temporarily bend the prongs on the plug to make it stay more firmly in
the outlet, but this is only a temporary solution. What's a good long
term solution?

An electrical supplier can sell you a hospital grade receptacle made of
nylon or polycarbonate that is pretty much indestructible. They are
expensive but have been designed to resist the power cord from a floor
polisher being ripped out at an angle and keep working despite abuse. ^_^
