10 Best Cuticle Scissors to Trim Overgrown Cuticles

Most of the time when I order very small scissors for trimming, I mostly find regular size but never tiny size scissors. I am looking for TINY, VERY SMALL scissors and these are it. They are correct, the right one. People have been complaining that it’s too sharp but I say sharp is perfect! Few people consume 5 times more calcium than others which is me and the strength of (another area beside the beard and mustache, you get the idea) the strength is ridiculously strong and thick. Regular sharp scissors are useless to me. I gotta use the sharpness of a sword or dagger to get my things done. Just be careful with the scissors. You will bleed a very small amount (needle size wound, staple size or button pin) But it gets the job done! Without fearing my appearance, I can go to open, in person meetings or talk to managers or team leaders with confidence!

These are not for cutting fingernails. ONe could certainly use them to cut cuticles, but any gentleman I’ve ever known just pushed them back after a shower or bath or a hand soak, if he cared for that manicured look. I tied a blood bight around a skin tag, and things did not go as planned so I got these so that my wife could cut off the nylon floss with a minimum of damage. They worked great, the curved blades, sharpness, and precision made it easy and as painless as possible.

These are great. I ordered some because I used my other pair to cut something other than hair when I was on vacation and needed scissors. Totally screwed up the pair I had. ANYHOW needed new ones so I bought these… I was so glad I ruined my other pair. These are awesome. VERY happy with them. Super sturdy, no give in the connection, cut very well, and they are VERY steady which is great because I use them to trim my eyebrows. The curve is PERECT. I might buy a back up pair even though these seem like they will last forever. You never know though knowing me. I tend to cut things that you shouldn’t cut with stuff. 😀

Got these scissors today 07/27/20 and use them on nose hair. When scissors cut as close as these scissors did a couple of hours ago at about $7 a pair and as good as a $26 pair which I have bought twice over the years. Smart move on my part. They are Stainless and came in a reusable plastic jacket with a rubber safety cone for the tip. My scissors stay on the bathroom vanity so I have really no need for the jacket. But I did put an old pair in the jacket. Am all most sure to go a head and buy another pair. Just one more item I will not spend hours shopping for in the future.

I threw away my old eyebrow scissors, which I had had for around 10 years or so, I would imagine. There was nothing wrong with them, aside from never being sharp. I know that technically these are cuticle scissors, but I really wanted them for my prickly eyebrow hairs. They work so much better. It is a very crisp, precise cut. And they are very strong. Excellent buy, including the price and fast shipping! I will try for other beauty grooming, also. I highly recommend these versatile scissors.

These manicure scissors are fantastic! I like to use these scissor-style for my kids because I can contour their nails better than with clippers, and I find that I don’t catch their skin with these, either. However, unlike kids’ manicure scissors, these are actually sharp and strong. I’m not struggling to use them after just a few uses–they are built to last. It’s a huge relief, because I’ve really hated shopping around for kids’ manicure scissors. Now I have a pair that will actually last me a while.

I like the stainless steel scissors amazon quality build of these scissors, delivered on time as promised. I use these to trim nose hairs, eye brows, any annoying hair that sprout up where you don’t want it. Good size, easy to hold, the blunt tip is a great safety feature so you don’t accidentally poke yourself. Some scissors from stores at CVS, Walmart, etc., wear out and become dull after awhile. These seem to have a higher quality finish. If you’re going to get a scissor, get a good one, ’cause you don’t buy them that often.

I lost my Tweezerman Cuticle Scissors after several years. Well I thought I could just go out a buy any ole pair and replace them, but boy I was wrong. I cut my cuticle and part of my finger. That is what I get for trying to cheat on the Tweezerman. Tweezerman fits into small places and cuts just what you ask him to, nothing more, nothing less. After my finger healed from cheating, I went back and I shall never use anything else – I promise! You need to hook up with the Tweezerman too!

I was struggling with various small scissors for years. I went through screams of my kids when cutting the small tiny nails, cutting off more nail then i should, or cutting it slanted. This pair of scissors are so thin, light and precise that it adds the pleasure to my manicure and pedicure routines. Will not substitute it with any other!

I have dry cuticles all the time. Genetics. My sister had a pair of scissors from ages ago and it was the only pair that ever worked. But, waiting to see my sister just for a pair of scissors wasn’t working out well for me. Nail kits that came w/ scissors never worked. I decided to go “high” end. Well, not that much more in price. I love these. Yes, they are sharp so you need to be careful. They work in small spots. No more cracking cuticles. I recommend these for sure.

I bought 2 of these, using 1 and hiding the other one away so I always have one pair of cuticle scissors that I can count on that has the finest tip and a good proper snipping tool. The solingen nail scissors uk hard to find a good pair of cuticle scissors, so consider me a fan of this product. Am very glad to have an extra because my husband has borrowed some of my other cuticle scissors over the years and they never work right again. This is highly put together.

I never realized the need for beauty scissors until I had a quality pair. This specific pair is well-made, sharp, and very versatile. I like that the scissors are ambidextrous. Being a left-handed person that always hated left-handed scissors, these work beautifully in both hands. No matter what your beauty task, these scissors have not let me down yet. I honestly do not know how I went so long without a good pair of beauty scissors.

For me, I needed this pair of scissors to remove hangnails that, if left unattended will rip and bleed. I’m not sure if it’s because I have dry skin that I get these regularly or that I have fairly fast-growing nails, but they are a problem. These small scissors amazon allow me to clip the hangnails as close to the nail/skin boundary as possible. Granted, it isn’t easy using these left-handed when clipping hangnails on my right hand, but I take it slow and easy…works well enough. Great little pair of scissors that fits my needs.

My grandfather is over the moon with this amazing little baby scissor. Is very difficult to cut elderly people nails, I was always hurting my grandfather:( when I was doing his nails with many different type of scissors. Finally yesterday I have able to do my Grandfather nails without not hurting him.” My Grandfather is over the moon.” And I am very happy indeed with this wonderful little scissor.” I do recommend this little Helpfull scissor to all the Mommy’s for their little babies also for their parents with children. And to anyone who does their nails by themselves. The scissor is sharp and safe to use. Very well designed to do the job, without hurting anyone:)

Really good pair of perfect scissors uk. Got them to cut my 6 month old son’s nails and they help do the job really well, now i am able to cut really sharp edges that was not able to reach before. Definitely recommend. Addition: 4 months on and i’m still so happy with this little purchase. My son had chickenpox recently so a very short trim was imperative. I normally cut it when he’s asleep, in a dark, with just the iphone light as the only source of light. And when i check it in the daylight, i’m amazed just how much of a close cut i get, no need to use a file afterwards either.

These scissors are advertised as surgical and sharp, but when I got them and tried to cut my cuticle, the actual blade tips of the scissors turned to be not that sharp. I keep using them because due to quarantine I cannot take them to sharpen somewhere, but I will definitely sharpen the tips them when quarantine is over. I had German made cuticle scissors before and they were very sharp when I bought them. Overall, the quality is great and I think I will use them forever, but I just prefer the blade tips to be sharper.

This is my 4th set of Pafason scissors. First 3 sets were for manicures…I like to have extras for my handbag and for travel. This slightly bigger set will be for pedicures. They are sharper and better quality than anything I can find locally. Nice to have scissors that actually cut my nails, rather than just mangle them. Also, they don’t hurt my fingers when I’m holding them for awhile. With other nail scissors, I’ve had to wrap my fingers with bandaids (for cushioning the handles.)

Hey guys so in the midst of all of my pedicure videos I’ve gotten a few questions on how to actually remove your cuticle and although I have a video on how to remove your cuticles without bleeding I don’t actually have a video on how to cut them now I know that cutting can be pretty controversial and that most people would just like to go see a professional.

But as you guys know I like to DIY everything which is exactly why I subscribe to Skillshare because with any good DIY you need a solid foundation and actually know what you’re doing so in case you guys don’t know basically Skillshare is an online platform where you can go to learn new skills.

Kind of like how you guys are watching this video and how to do something well you can go to skill share and learn how to do anything it’s a resource that I use and I do personally pay for myself because I like to educate myself and pick up skills that I wasn’t necessarily taught in school but still need to advance it so it’s a great resource for whether you just want to do it for personal use or if you are running a business and are trying to wear a couple of different hats lately I’ve been taking a lot of classes on just learning like digital stuff.

Because I’m always trying to produce better videos for you guys because it keeps it fun for me and hopefully makes it enjoyable for you and if you guys do want to try it yourself then I have a two-month free trial which will be linked in the description box and after that, the monthly subscription is pretty affordable at less than ten bucks a month it’s a pretty good bill for unlimited classes so in case you guys haven’t seen any of my other videos which I’m hoping that you have at this point but in case you have it.

You guys know that my Holy Grail cuticle softener that is and actually a cuticle softener is the o RG mineral peel and this is actually like a liquid exfoliant so what you do is just spray this on and then and you rub it into the skin and it starts to break down or loosen that the glue that makes your dead skin cells stick together so as you can imagine that makes it perfect for cuticles because the cuticle does exactly that they act as kind of double-sided tape between your proximal nail fold and your natural nail plate.

Now I’m gonna stop you guys here because in case anything that I’m saying right now doesn’t make any sense to you you really should watch my previous video which is how to remove the cuticles without bleeding because it talks about the anatomy of the nail it’s really gonna help you understand the structure of your now which is needless to say really important if you plan on sticking a blade in the.

The area so please go do that and then come back here you can get to the video by checking it in the description box or it is also on the playlist if you click on the I and the right-hand corner of this screen I don’t always do this step sometimes I just go straight in for a dry manicure but as you can imagine it makes the cutting part a lot faster because you obviously have less skin to remove but you don’t have it water works just fine so if you don’t have this product or anything similar to it just soak your hands in water for like three to five minutes after I use the mineral peel as a cuticle softener I’ve gotten rid of a lot of skin but as you can still see I do have some leftover and the skin over in this area right here is the true definition of the cuticle.

Because you will be tempted to remove skin that is not actually cuticle which is okay but it’s just important that you know what it actually is the cuticle is only the skin that comes from underneath of the proximal nail fold and attaches itself to your natural nail and so when that skin gets dry and dehydrated it detaches from the nail and just kind of hangs there but it doesn’t stop there because people usually also have dead skin surrounding their nail on the lateral nail folds or somewhere on their finger that causes hangnails.

So unlike the name implies that they’re actually just dry skin so the basic rule of thumb when using cuticle nippers is that you want to hold the blade parallel to your skin so most of your movements are really gonna be in your wrist because that is how you’re going to correct the angle of the blade so that you’re holding it level with the surface of your skin and this will be the most effective way for you to get those little hangnails and little pieces of skin without actually cutting into the skin more than is necessary and causing a jagged edge that also peels after you remove this one.

Now another thing that you’ll notice about your cuticle nippers is that they are perfectly engineered to sit into that space where your cuticle lives so if you were to close the numbers and then set them into the groove underneath the proximal nail fold you would see that it really glides very easily around that curve and I do recommend that you kind of play with this motion because then it’s gonna make gliding around the cuticle line while your scissors are actually opening-closing a lot more comfortable and also dwindle the probability that you cut yourself.

Because your hand and wrist will start to develop a muscle memory the first thing you’ll notice that I do is that I take my free finger and I pull the skin tight just so that I can really reveal what’s going on in that little crevice underneath the proximal nail fold because the more visible the skin is the easier it’s going to be to cut away then once I expose the skin fully with my numbers slightly open I line it with the skin that I need to cut.

I very gently close them don’t go in and immediately pinch really hard that way once they make contact with the skin if you feel any pain you can kind of back off before you commit to fully cutting it and possibly cutting living skin now when it comes to actually knowing what skin is appropriate for you to cut this is the closest thing that I can pretty much relate it to if you’ve ever want to pour a drink into a glass without looking at the room you could probably tell just by looking through it how thick the glass actually was that is how I know how much skin I can actually cut because I can see a little bit of a shadow through the translucent skin that is ready to come off so as I mentioned people do often use their cuticle nippers not just to remove the cuticle but also to remove a dead it keratinized or dry callous skin around the nail or on the finger and if you’ve seen any of my pedicures which hopefully you have then you know that soaking your feet and or soaking your hands would be really helpful and identifying what skin is dead and what skin is living because when dead skin is full of water.

It does often become very translucent or it turns white so you can use that same rule or principle when it comes to doing your manicure as well so then when I’m done just to kind of check my work I will either use a water-soaked gauze or cotton just a kind of a wipe down the area I mentioned before if you guys are still not feeling very skilled at this and just want to make sure that you have a smooth surface maybe you feel like you have some jagged edges from cutting with the scissors what I recommend doing is taking a file or two files more.

Specifically and kind of just running that along the skin and this will literally event you from getting hangnails in the future and you may not be able to see them now but you will see them later especially if you don’t keep your skin moisturized so you can take a 180 grit file just very gently go around your finger and then take finer grit like a 240 and then go over it again so this is actually all of the dead skin that I took off just my thumb and I want to say that this is probably like a month or maybe five weeks of growth and then always always always rehydrate your skin so after this I would go and wash my hands.

Leave them slightly damp and then make sure that I put on an oil or a lotion so that’s it guys I hope you like this video if you did please do give it a thumbs up leave me a comment on what you guys would like to see next and I’ll see you in the next video bye.

Hey, guys so I know this is kind of controversial to cut or not to cut today I’m going to show you how to properly remove your cuticle and more importantly how to identify it so first let’s look at the anatomy of a nail so the first thing I think we’re all pretty much familiar with is the nail plate.

This is your actual nail it’s made up of a protein called keratin which you have quite a few layers of but just like your skin it’s dead so the pink and healthy appearance of your nails that you see is actually the nail bed underneath so if you’re lucky to have longer nails the portion of your nail that’s either white or even transparent is the distal free edge so this is where the nail actually attaches from the nail bed but believe it or not your nail does not start or end.

Here it actually goes quite a few millimeters above your cuticle line so that skin on your finger is actually a nail fold and it’s covering the root of your nail where all the really important stuff like your nail matrix is which is responsible for your no growth in the first place and underneath that fold is the eponym think of this as the band-aid holding your finger to your nail or better yet a roll of tape.

Because the cells are actually sticky and even transparent so as your note grows out it will pull the cells or the tape along with it and this is what you see as the cuticle as it grows out it’ll even pull on that proximal nail fold and you see the skin that’s beside my nails well those also nail folds so it’s likely to assume they are also protecting the size of the nails and I think that’s going to be pretty much all the.

Information you need for at least this video so how about we get started now I don’t want you guys to use my nails as a standard because I don’t actually have much of a fold so my skin just kind of starts where my nail does but some of you may notice that you literally have what looks like a folded piece of skin on your nail plate that is not cuticle so a great way to differentiate is to use a cuticle softener because as I mentioned before your cuticle is very sticky.

Because it’s meant to be a sealant so to ensure that we don’t break that seal and introduce harmful bacteria into our body we’re just going to push the cuticles back and we’re going to do so very gently by using circular motions with our cuticle pusher but you could also use your thumbnail just remember you don’t want to push straight back you want to go in small circular motions so that you don’t accidentally stabbed or jab the cuticle and cause damage.

Good and you guys just saw me use the other end of my cuticle pusher just to lift any dead tissue off of the nail plate that was dissolved by my cuticle softener but as you guys can see I do still have a little bit of cuticle left and normally in this instance I would say you can just cut it and that’s because the skin is already lifted from the nail and essentially is just kind of hanging but the sake of safety I would recommend that you just apply more cuticle softener and ideally this will dissolve any remaining skin as a matter of fact it’ll even dissolve the skin around your nail.

So if you suffer from a lot of dry skin on your lateral folds take this opportunity to get rid of it now since it’s summer my skin is in pretty good shape but honestly it’s usually a mess so what I like to do now is instead of going to wash my hands is I will use rubbing alcohol and this will essentially remove any oils and expose any dry skin that I still have as you can see which is right here so now is about the time that I will bust out my ceramic cuticle pusher and this is basically going to serve as like a pumice stone for any calluses and dry skin and you want to use it wet.

So I prefer to use rubbing alcohol instead of water and I let it absorb completely and then use that on my lateral folds or any surrounding area but if you don’t have it you could also just use a file this is what I used to do before I discovered the ceramic stone or you can also use a buffing block and of course, my absolute recommendation is to always always always apply a cuticle oil but cuticle oil is not just for your cuticles it is actually for your entire nail and the surrounding skin.

So this is like the most important thing that I do every single time I give myself a manicure and even when I don’t give myself a manicure so if any of you suffer from weak nails or peeling nails and you definitely want to do this step and as a matter of fact, I did do a DIY cuticle oil so make sure you stay tuned to the end of this video so you get a sneak peek.

So, in conclusion, yes you can cut your cuticles but it really isn’t necessary as you guys can see I was able to get a really clean manicure so I hope you guys found this useful if you did don’t forget to like it sub and share the video with someone you think where I need it bye guys.

Hey, guys so it’s been quite a few weeks since I’ve given myself a manicure so as you can see the skin has really been pulled. Down onto the nail plate as my cuticle has grown out so I’m going to show you how I remove it. Using a basic manicure so I’m going straight for my org mineral peel and this is a body and face exfoliant so it’s not meant for this purpose but I just find it very effective. So I’ve been using it on my nails for years so this is my alternative to soaking my nails and then I can immediately go in with my cuticle pusher and as you guys can see I’m being as gentle as possible just gently coercing it back.

Rather than trying to stab or jab it back like this so this is an example of what you don’t want to do. Instead, go in circular motions swooping around the curve of the cuticle area and you’re much less likely to hurt yourself this way so just remember don’t put too much pressure. Actually, let your cuticle softener do its job or soften your skin with water so that this isn’t difficult because it should not I repeat it should not be painful and if it is.

Just stop again this is what I’m doing so this is my nail care routine for me and I’m not advocating it for anyone else Just sharing my experience and what I do because I haven’t gone to a salon for literally like years I can’t even tell you how long that’s how long it’s been so after I’ve pushed the eponychium back I now go in with the other side of my cuticle pusher. To just lift any skin that has peeled up on its own. And do keep in mind that some of this is not actually my skin. So the mineral peel that I used does kind of gum up.

And so now we have clearly defined the dead skin or what I will be removed from my finger this skin is attached to the proximal nail fold however it’s not a cuticle. And if you too have this area of skin you can just leave it there. And some of you guys have asked me how I know what skin to cut or that I want to cut because again you don’t have to cut anything. This is just my personal choice but how I determine that is I Find that skin that needs to be exfoliated. Usually becomes very super translucent when it is.

Thoroughly hydrated so in my pedicure videos for example when I soak my feet I can literally see through the skin and I can see the shadow. Of my tools when I put them behind it so in the previous clip you guys could see the tip of my cuticle pusher through the skin and here I’ve actually been a little bit conservative with cutting that skin away. So even after I’ve detached this piece you can still kind of see that semi-white translucent skin.

On the nail fold that I have left so I always. Err on the side of not cutting away too much at first because I can always go back in. But if I get overzealous, to begin with then I can go too deep and actually cut living skin. So already you can see that this is a huge improvement. And I have a lot more space on my nail bed which is going to make painting my nails. Much easier and have longevity so I spray the peel.

Again just to kind of double-check my work so I remoisten and then just go back over the area to make sure that I haven’t left anything behind and here you can actually see exactly what I’m talking about in terms of the product itself. Summing up so that’s what you guys are seeing right now so I’m thinking that if I post another video like this that I may just soak in water so that you guys can see the difference.

And also to see if maybe I’ve evolved from this product because of course it is very pricey and from your feedback, I’ve learned that they’ve actually downgraded the bottle again because this originally used to come in eight ounces so I just wanted to point out that before I’ve even cut anything like you guys can see when I go to push the skin back. This is the proximal nail fold however if I also push back on a nail that I’ve already trimmed you’ll see that the proximal nail fold is still. There so that is the proximal nail fold, not the skin that is sitting on my nail plate as the name implies.

Folds back on itself so it has to actually tuck. Under and back so the fold covers my nail. Up into my finger. So if I put tension on the top of my finger or where the proximal nail fold is really pulling the skin taut allows me to have full visibility. So again I’m just going to reiterate this is what I’m doing you don’t have to do any of this. But just in case you’re curious the reason why I am being so thorough is that personally I just like the look of very well-manicured nails and when doing any type of nail enhancement and using acrylics or gel. You do have to make sure that there’s no tissue on your nail plate because that is going to cause your product to lift so yes this is part of that process it’s just a personal preference. So if you disagree with it that’s okay you don’t have to do it however I am and I will continue to do.

And also I filmed this on my phone and had way more footage of me doing my opposite hand so I do this exact routine with my opposite hand even though I am right-handed but I wasn’t able to export it to. My computer because the file was too large so if you guys want to see how I do this on my right hand with my non-dominant hand I think I’m going to turn that into it. So if you aren’t already following me on Instagram make sure you do that and you won’t miss it whenever I post it I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did please do give it a thumbs up and I’ll see you in the next one. Bye.
