HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT CUTICLE NIPPER

1. Jaw Size

• ¼ Jaw – Smallest size, best for precision work and trimming tiny areas; good for beginners and detail work.
• ½ Jaw – Most popular, balances precision with efficiency; recommended for everyday salon use.
• Full Jaw (¾ or 1) – Removes larger areas quickly; best for professionals working with experienced technique.

2. Head Shape

• Square Head – Helps reach tight corners and edges along the cuticle line.
• Round Head – Softer and smoother trimming, good for general use.

3. Length & Comfort

• 4″ (short/standard) – Easier to control, especially for small hands or precise trimming.
• 5″ (longer) – Gives more leverage and reach, preferred for professional use.

4. Spring Type

• Single Spring – Simple, lightweight, and easy to control.
• Double Spring – Provides smoother action and more durability for heavy salon use.

5. Joint Type

• Lap Joint – Overlapping arms, cost-effective and functional.
• Box Joint – More stable and durable; keeps blades aligned longer.

6. Material

• Always choose stainless steel – it resists rust, can be sterilized, and stays sharp longer.

7. Purpose & Skill Level

• Beginners / Home Use: ¼ or ½ jaw, single spring, lap joint.
• Professional Technicians: ½ or full jaw, double spring, box joint for heavy duty work.
