Cuticle Scissors CLASSIC 21 TYPE 1 Staleks

Cuticle Scissors CLASSIC 21 TYPE 1 - Staleks

The CLASSIC 21 TYPE 1 cuticle scissors by Staleks belong to the CLASSIC line, designed to make a proper cutting tool available to everyone. They handle everything that stands out around the nail: lifted cuticle, hangnails and skin tags, for a clean contour before any finish is applied.

Their thin, curved blade slips right along the proximal nail fold and cuts the skin instead of pinching it: that is the whole difference between a neat finish and pulled skin that grows back frayed.

Cuticle scissors, not nail scissors

This distinction drives everything else. Cuticle scissors have a thin, tapered and slightly curved blade made for the delicate skin around the nail. Nail scissors carry thicker, more curved blades intended for the free edge. Using the CLASSIC 21 TYPE 1 on the cuticle only guarantees both precise work and a blade that stays sharp.

A 20 mm blade to go all around the nail

The TYPE suffix tells you nothing: Staleks publishes no definition of it and uses it only to tell apart the variants of one reference. The figure that counts is elsewhere, on the spec sheet: this CLASSIC 21 states a 20 mm blade length. An in-between format, long enough to follow the contour without stopping every couple of millimetres, short enough to stay manageable when you are working on your own hand. That is the number to look at when comparing two pairs, never the digit that follows the word TYPE.

Contour precision and client comfort

A good cuticle trim is not judged only on the day: it is judged on the regrowth. Cutting the skin in one continuous movement, with no jerks or pulling, gives an even contour and softer regrowth. Work on a softened and pushed-back cuticle, move in small sections following the curve of the nail, and never cut healthy attached skin.

The CLASSIC range: accessible and honest

The CLASSIC line by Staleks does not claim to replace the professional series built for all-day intensive use: the manufacturer aims it first at manicure at home. It offers a well-finished, effective and affordable tool, which also receives manual sharpening on 40X13 stainless steel. Perfect for a user who wants to extend her manicure at home, to complete a kit, or for a professional looking for a spare pair without expecting the pace of a busy salon from it.

Hygiene, disinfection and longevity

Made of stainless steel, these scissors are corrosion-resistant and withstand common disinfection procedures; in occasional professional use, apply your full protocol between clients. Dry the joint carefully, avoid dropping the tool - a single impact on the tip is enough to misalign the blades - and keep it in a case.

The CLASSIC 21 TYPE 1 cuticle scissors bring together what really matters in a pair of cuticle scissors: a clean cut, an easy grip and effortless maintenance, all in the service of a well-kept manicure.
