Matte scissors for children and nail file

Yes — STALEKS makes dedicated children's nail scissors designed specifically for safely trimming small nails. The SC-30/2 and SBC-10/4 feature rounded or child-safe blade tips and blades sized for small fingers, reducing the risk of accidental cuts. The SBC-10/4 (Beauty & Care) adds ergonomic handles with larger finger holes for a more controlled grip. Always supervise scissor use on young children. For newborns and infants, the SBC-10/7 set (scissors + glass nail file) is purpose-designed for 0+ use with fully rounded, non-traumatic blade tips.

Yes — the STALEKS SBC-10/7 set is specifically designed for newborns (0+). The scissors feature rounded blade tips that are safe for use on very young infants. The included glass nail file is ideal for finishing and smoothing the nail edge after trimming. For the youngest infants, many parents prefer to start with the nail file only and introduce the scissors as the child grows. Always support the child's hand firmly and use good lighting when trimming very small nails.

For very young infants (newborn to a few weeks old), a glass nail file is often easier and safer — baby nails are very soft and can be gently filed without any cutting risk. As the nails grow stronger and longer (typically from a few weeks), the included rounded-tip scissors make it easier to trim the nail length before filing. The SBC-10/7 set provides both tools, giving you the flexibility to use whichever is appropriate for your child's age and nail condition.

Trim nails when the child is calm — after a bath (when nails are soft) or during sleep works well for infants. Use good lighting and support the child's hand firmly. Cut or file in small, incremental steps rather than trying to remove a lot at once. With the SBC-10/7 scissors, follow the natural curve of the nail to avoid cutting too close to the skin. After trimming, use the included glass nail file to smooth any sharp edges. If you accidentally nick the skin, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth — do not use a plaster on very young infants as it can be a choking hazard.

Wipe the blades with a clean damp cloth after each use and dry immediately. For the SBC-10/7 (Beauty & Care series), chemical disinfection with a gentle instrument disinfectant is recommended. This series is not suitable for autoclave or dry-heat oven sterilisation. The glass nail file can be rinsed under running water, cleaned with a mild disinfectant, and left to air-dry. Store both in the original case or a clean pouch, away from moisture.
