How to USe
Prepare the area
Push back the cuticle gently using a pusher or orange stick.
Make sure the cuticle is lifted enough to expose the dead skin that needs to be removed.
Position the scissors
Hold the scissors lightly — avoid gripping too tight.
Angle the blades so they glide along the cuticle line.
For hook-tip models: use the hook to lift the cuticle before cutting.
Trim the cuticle
Cut in small sections, not in one pull.
Follow the natural curve of the cuticle with smooth micro-movements.
Avoid cutting living skin — only remove loose/non-attached cuticle.
Finish
Check for remaining fibers and trim if needed.
Apply cuticle oil or a nourishing treatment to hydrate the area.
Cleaning and sterilisation
Wash off any residue with warm soapy water.
Disinfect and sterilise in autoclave or dry heat (all listed models are autoclave-safe).
After drying, store in a clean tool case to protect blade sharpness.
Pro Tips
Let the scissors do the work — don’t apply force.
Sharp blades cut effortlessly. Pressure = skin trauma.
Always trim in small sections, not in one long cut.
This gives more control and prevents over-cutting.
If the skin stretches instead of cutting, reposition.
That means you're cutting living tissue. Lift again and recut only the dry cuticle.
Work on dry cuticles for maximum precision.
Wet cuticles stretch and increase the risk of tearing.
Keep blades clean and sharp.
Sterilise after each client and store separately to avoid dulling the edge.
Use the hook-tip models to lift first, cut second.
This reduces trauma and makes the cut cleaner (ideal for lateral folds).
Oil after trimming.
A drop of cuticle oil prevents dryness and gives the manicure a polished finish.
Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are these scissors suitable for sterilisation in an autoclave?
Yes. All Staleks Pro cuticle scissors are made from high-alloy stainless steel and are fully autoclave and dry-heat safe. The blades maintain their sharpness even after repeated sterilisation cycles (when dried and stored properly).
How do I know if I am cutting the cuticle correctly and not healthy skin?
Only cut the dry, lifted, non-attached cuticle. If the skin stretches instead of cutting, stop: that means you are reaching live tissue. Reposition the scissors and cut in small sections rather than in one long cut.
How should I store the scissors to maintain sharpness?
Always store them separately from other tools to avoid blade contact. After cleaning and sterilisation, dry them completely and keep them in a protective case or silicone cap. Avoid dropping the scissors — the precision tips are sharp and delicate.
