Choosing the right cuticle scissors

In the following blog post, 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 professional users such as beauticians or podiatrists, as their application is a little more complicated and takes more time. Nail scissors are often relatively easy for everyone to use.

How do cuticle scissors differ from nail scissors?

Cuticle scissors often have a finer & narrower tip (cutting edge) than nail scissors.

Why should cuticle scissors not be used as nail scissors?

Cuticle scissors have a very fine cutting edge, which has been specially ground to remove fine skin residues. If you try to cut nails with them, these cutting edges will become blunt over time, making it more difficult to cut skin residues.

Cuticle scissors

Cuticle scissors are fine tools for removing cuticles. They are mainly used in manicures and occasionally in pedicures.

Typical standard models are cuticle scissors with pointed (Art. No. 9015) and short cutting edges (Art. No. 9001). The cutting edge is slightly curved to prevent injury from the sharp tip when cutting the cuticles.

Depending on the handle shape, people prefer closely spaced handles, which allow for more precision and finer work, or wider spaced blades and larger finger holes.

Super fine cuticle scissors for professionals

The super fine cuticle scissors are particularly suitable for professionals in the field, such as beauticians or medical foot care specialists. These scissors have a very pointed cutting edge, which is often also called "turmspitz" or "superspitz". They enable very fine and precise cutting of even very small skin flakes, which might be overlooked with standard models.
