This tool allows you to perform a manicure as quickly, efficiently and safely as possible. The experts at Healthy Food Near Me have compiled a ranking of the best cuticle scissors for you, which are popular in the professional environment and among ordinary consumers.

Recommendations for selection

If you buy good cuticle scissors, they can last you for several years without requiring special care or even sharpening. Therefore, the first thing you need to pay attention to when intending to buy this product is the manufacturer, its reputation and the opinion of professional manicure masters about the effectiveness of its products. Take, for example, the Singer company, the scissors of this manufacturer take first place in our rating, since the brand is known all over the world, and there is no doubt about the quality of the products.

However, Singer products are not cheap, so many users are looking for alternatives, preferably not of the worst quality. What aspects to pay attention to, in addition to information about the manufacturer:

1. The material of manufacture. The most reliable scissors are made from durable and hypoallergenic medical grade steel, nickel-steel alloy or cryo-hardened steel.

2. Blade thickness. Since the product will be used to trim the cuticle, the blades must be the thinnest. Then they will fit snugly against the skin, and cut off the excess tissue, so to speak, “under the root”.

3. Cutting surface dimensions. The blade length of the cuticle scissors is selected according to the preferences and needs of the individual user. Each person has a different length of palms and fingers, so before buying it is recommended to hold the scissors in your hands, as if “trying on” them for yourself.

4. Blade end shape. The tips of the blades of nail scissors for trimming the cuticle must be slightly rounded. This makes it easier to remove the skin from the curved surface of the base of the nail.

5. The shape and size of the handles. The size of the handles must match the size (thickness) of the user’s fingers. If you have thin fingers, don’t worry, any tool will work for you. But for owners of large palms, it is advisable to buy such products in stationary stores where you can hold the product in your hands, otherwise you risk buying a product that is inconvenient to work with. Regarding the shape of the handles – it is normal and curved. The latter option is good because during the cutting of the cuticle, there is less pressure on the tissue of the fingers.

6. Sharpening quality. The scissors with which you intend to remove the cuticle must have razor-sharp blades, otherwise they will “chew”, pull and tear the delicate skin, causing great discomfort and even pain, injuring the skin of the fingers. It is better to give preference to tools sharpened by professionals by hand.

7. Smooth running – scissors should close and open smoothly, without jamming and sharp jumps.

8. Design and accessories. Some scissors may have a non-standard appearance – colored handles, original shape, etc. Also, some tools come with plastic cases in which it is very convenient to store them.

And the last thing – always read user reviews, from them you can find out whether this or that tool is really of good quality and worth the money paid for it.
