Mehaz Nail Tools - Tweezers, Cuticle Nippers, Foot Files & Nail Clippers

To safely push back your cuticles first apply a quality cuticle remover and let soak. Using a cuticle pusher, gently push back the cuticle toward the base of your nail. Then wash off the remover with soap and water and trim the cuticle where necessary with a nail tool like the Mehaz 4” Cuticle Nipper. Follow up with a drop of oil like Cuccio Naturale Cuticle Revitalizing Complex to refresh and restore moisture to your nail bed.

Cleaning and disinfecting nail tools is crucial to nail health whether in a salon or home setting. While simple soap and water is effective for a quick clean-up, soaking your implements in a disinfectant like Barbicide will eliminate most risk of infection. In a spa or salon environment, nail tools are often disinfected in a UV Sterilizer Cabinet at the end of the work day.

After tweezing or any depilatory treatment, follow up with a skin soother like Satin Cool® Aloe Vera Gel or Cirépil® Blue Lotion Cleanser to reduce swelling and irritation. If the treated area remains significantly inflamed, discolored or is more seriously injured in any other way, apply a cool washcloth or ice pack and consult a dermatologist for further instruction.

According to the U.S. Patent Office, the first patent application for the modern day nail clipper was in 1875. This tool, however, was more like a file than the clippers we are familiar with today. In 1881, inventors Eugene Heim and Oelestin Matz were issued a patent for the spring-loaded device we now recognize as nail clippers.
