How to use

Sanitise the nippers before each use. Soften cuticles with a cuticle remover or warm water to reduce resistance. Use the 4 mm tip to gently grasp and trim excess cuticle or hangnails with controlled, short cuts, avoiding excessive force. After trimming, clean the tool and, if required, disinfect or sterilise according to salon protocols. Store the nippers in a dry place to preserve the stainless-steel finish.

Usage recommendations

For safe and precise results, use the nippers on softened cuticles and perform small, controlled cuts rather than large snips. Regular sharpening and professional sterilisation maintain cutting performance and hygiene; inspect blades for damage before each use and replace the tool if blades become misaligned or chipped.
