How do you use nail salon clippers?

Published in Nail Clipping Technique 1 min read

To use nail salon clippers effectively, hold the clippers comfortably in your dominant hand and "nibble" your way across the nail, gently cutting from one side to the other ([0:28]-[1:55]).

Here’s a breakdown:

  • Comfortable Grip: Hold the clippers in whichever hand feels most comfortable for you.
  • Nibbling Technique: Instead of trying to cut the entire nail straight across in one clip, make small, controlled clips (nibbling).
  • Side-to-Side: Start at one side of the nail and gently clip across to the other side.
  • Gentle Cuts: Avoid applying too much pressure at once. The goal is to gradually shape the nail to prevent cracking or splitting.
