At home, the easiest way to remove cuticles is with fine cuticle scissors. If you want to remove cuticles even more precisely, there are special models such as cuticle nippers or spring-action cuticle scissors.

We also carry classic models:

Winkler cuticle nippers

Cuticle nippers for intermediate treatment

Rectangular cuticle nippers

Blade length influences precision and control:

• 3–4 mm → very precise, ideal for beginners
  
• 5 mm → all-round size for salon & home
  
• 7 mm or longer → for experienced users, larger skin areas
  

For most applications, a 5 mm blade is optimal.

Cuticle nippers or cuticle pliers are used to precisely remove cuticles.

Cuticle nippers are often used by professionals in the fields of podiatry and cosmetics, as they often allow for more precise cutting of the cuticles compared to normal cuticle scissors.

We offer various types of cuticle nippers and various brands.

You will find cuticle nippers in

scissor shape

pliers shape

tweezer shape

We also offer both inexpensive variants and high-quality medical products.

The main difference lies in the cutting edge:

• Cuticle nippers have a fine, short cutting edge for thin skin.
  
• Nail nippers have a strong, robust cutting edge for hard nail plates.
  

Cuticle nippers are not suitable for cutting nails – they are exclusively intended for skin.

The spring ensures that the nippers automatically reopen after cutting.

• Single spring → classic, a little stiffer, rougher work on the nail fold
  
• Double spring → smoother action, more comfortable work, significantly more precise work possible
  

In professional settings, double springs are usually preferred as they cause less hand fatigue.

Cuticle nippers from Solingen traditionally stand for:

• high-quality stainless steel
  
• precise hand grinding
  
• long service life
  
• clean, exact cuts
  

Quality manufacturers from Solingen produce durable instruments that also impress in professional use.

1. Clean and disinfect hands
   
2. Gently push back cuticles
   
3. Only cut excess, protruding skin
   
4. Do not pull or tear
   
5. Apply nourishing oil afterwards
   

Important: Never cut into healthy, firmly attached skin.

After each use, the cuticle nippers should be:

• cleaned
  
• disinfected
  
• thoroughly dried

Professional stainless steel models can also be sterilized. Regular care significantly extends their lifespan.

Possible causes:

• dull blades
  
• too much pressure
  
• dry skin
  
• incorrect cutting technique
  

Sharp, precisely ground cuticle nippers and working on slightly softened skin prevent tears.
