Removing cuticles: choosing the right cuticle scissors
In the following blog article we would like to address the following questions in more detail:
Which cuticle scissors are the best? What should you look for when choosing cuticle scissors?
What is the difference between cuticle scissors and cuticle nippers?
Both cuticle scissors and cuticle nippers can be used to remove cuticles. Cuticle nippers are often used by professionals such as a beautician or a pedicurist, as they are a little more complicated and take more time to use. Nail scissors are often relatively easy for everyone to use.
What is the difference between cuticle scissors and nail scissors?
Cuticle scissors often have a finer and narrower tip (cutting edge) than nail scissors.
Why can't cuticle scissors be used as nail scissors?
Cuticle scissors have a very fine blade which has been specially sharpened to remove fine skin remnants. If you try to cut nails with them, these blades will become blunt over time, making it more difficult to cut skin remnants.
Cuticle scissors
Cuticle scissors are fine tools for removing cuticles. They are increasingly used in manicures and occasionally in pedicures.
Typical standard models are cuticle scissors with pointed (Art. No. 9015) and short blades (Art. No. 9001). The blade is slightly curved so that you do not injure yourself with the sharp tip when cutting the cuticle.
Super fine cuticle scissors for professionals
The superfine cuticle scissors are particularly suitable for professionals who work as beauticians or in medical foot care. These scissors have a very pointed cutting edge, which is often also called a tower point or super pointy. They enable very fine and precise cutting of even very small pieces of skin, which could be overlooked with the standard models.
Do you need to work extremely precisely?
If you want to have extreme control over cutting the cuticles, there are special cuticle scissors, such as the feather cuticle scissors.
