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 SMART 100 nippers?

STALEKS SMART 100 nippers are made from stainless steel and are safe for autoclave and dry-heat sterilisation, as well as standard professional chemical disinfection.

Sterilise between every client, dry the nippers fully, and store them in a dry tool tray or pouch to protect the cutting edge.

What is the 9 mm blade size best for?

The 9 mm blade is a full-size cutting edge built for confident, efficient removal of thicker or longer cuticle growth and faster work across the nail.

For very fine, delicate cuticle work a shorter 3 mm blade gives more control, while the 9 mm covers more in each pass.

What makes the SMART 100 nippers different?

The SMART 100 has a substantial textured pattern formed directly in the metal handles, so the nippers lock securely in the hand for accurate, fast movements even during long sessions.

It pairs a satin matte finish with a 9 mm straight blade (inclined edge with a protrusion), a durable double spring, and professional manual sharpening for a clean closure out of the box.

Are SMART nippers suitable for newer technicians?

Yes. The SMART line offers professional-grade stainless steel and hand-finished blades at an accessible price, which makes it a popular choice for technicians building their kit.

The textured handle and balanced weight of the SMART 100 also make controlled cutting easier while you develop your technique.
