Care & Sterilisation

Sterilisation: Autoclave-safe up to 134°C and compatible with dry-heat sterilisation ovens, meeting all standard salon sterilisation protocols.

Chemical disinfection: Safe for use with professional-grade disinfection solutions. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance against repeated chemical exposure.

Storage: Store in a dry environment. Keep blades closed when not in use. Avoid dropping — precision-sharpened edges are delicate.

Maintenance: Apply a small drop of instrument oil to the joint periodically. When cutting performance reduces, have your nippers professionally resharpened.

FAQs

How do I sterilise Staleks cuticle nippers?

Staleks cuticle nippers are autoclave-safe up to 134°C and compatible with dry-heat sterilisation ovens. They can also be disinfected using standard professional-grade chemical disinfection solutions. The AISI 420 stainless steel and GOI paste polishing provide excellent corrosion resistance through repeated sterilisation cycles.

What blade size should I choose?

For general cuticle work, 7–8 mm blades offer the best balance of precision and coverage. Smaller blades (3–6 mm) are ideal for detailed work or clients with thin, delicate cuticles. Larger blades (9–14 mm) suit faster removal of thicker cuticle growth. The EXPERT 20 at 8 mm is one of the most popular sizes for everyday professional use.

What is the difference between EXPERT, SMART, and CLASSIC?

The EXPERT series uses AISI 420 steel hardened to 48–51 HRC with hand-sharpened blades and precision joints — built for daily professional use. The SMART series offers excellent quality at a lower price point, ideal for newer technicians or as backup tools. The CLASSIC series is an affordable entry point for students and home use.

How long do Staleks nippers last?

With proper care and regular sterilisation, Staleks EXPERT nippers maintain their cutting edge through thousands of uses. Most professionals report 1–3 years of daily use before needing resharpening. The inverted rivet design allows for professional sharpening services to extend the lifespan further.
