Ranking of the best nail scissors in 2022

Manicure scissors live in any woman's cosmetic bag, because well-groomed hands are one of the main components of beauty. This article contains tips on how to choose them, as well as a TOP 10 of the best products in this category. Separately, the characteristics and features of children's and men's manicure scissors are mentioned.

Varieties of manicure scissors

Professionals distinguish three large groups of nail scissors:

• For nails - there are two types, namely with straight and curved ends. The former are classified as classic, and are more suitable for hard and strong nails. The second - for soft and fragile.
• Cuticle Scissors - These scissors have a thinner and sharper blade, which makes it easy to remove the cuticle without damaging the skin.
• Universal - suitable for manicure, pedicure and cuticle removal. Such scissors have a curved shape and are a multifunctional manicure tool.

Many professionals opt for universal scissors. However, it is worth remembering about certain factors that are responsible for the quality of the product.

What to look for when choosing nail scissors

There are several main criteria that will help you make the right choice when buying. Namely:

• Material quality

Manicure scissors are most often made of steel, which must be not only high quality, but also stainless. It is this material that will allow you to sterilize the instrument with a variety of means, withstand sharpening blades well and is affordable.

• Blade sharpness

This is one of the main criteria for product quality. Good scissors are factory sharpened and do not need additional processing, especially if they are scissors for home use. Their sharpness is easily checked, for example, using an ordinary plastic bag: if it cuts with one touch, then you have made the right choice.

• Smooth running

The scissors should open and close smoothly and easily in your hands. If you make the slightest effort to work with the tool, most likely it is poorly made and not suitable for manicure.

Sooner or later, even the best quality scissors will become dull, especially with regular use. Don't be in a hurry to throw them away. It is enough to sharpen and they will be like new again.

It is interesting! Officially, the history of manicure scissors begins in the 30s of the 19th century, it was then that this metal cutting tool appeared in the life of every fashionista. However, it is known for certain that the ancient Turks of the northern regions of modern Turkey served game with clean and well-groomed hands for dinner. Archaeologists agree that the processing of nails in those days was carried out with rough sea shells.

How to sharpen nail scissors

The easiest way is to entrust this matter to the hands of professionals and give the tool for sharpening and grinding in specialized studios and salons. If you feel sorry for wasting time and money, try sharpening nail scissors at home. You will need one item from these items:

• Plain food foil. Tear off a small piece of foil and fold it several times. Then take dull scissors and cut the foil into thin strips, gradually increasing the pressure on the tool. When you are done with these manipulations, clean and wipe the scissors. The tool will become sharper.
• Sandpaper. You will need one small piece that needs to be rolled up in two layers. Then take your scissors and cut through the sandpaper, being careful to use the entire blade. At the end of sharpening, clean the scissors from metal dust and wipe with a damp cloth.

These are the simplest sharpening methods that everyone can handle. There are also other ways, but they are unsafe or impossible at home.

To prolong the life of the tool, do not forget also about proper use and storage: always clean the tool after use, use it strictly for its intended purpose and store it in a special case in a dry and dark place.
