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.
