Micro scissors (like the STALEKS Expert 90 series) have a miniature cutting part — the blade length is typically 14–15mm compared to 20–24mm on standard nail scissors. The smaller cutting area gives you more control over very detailed cuticle work and precise trimming in tight spaces. The Expert 90 series also uses a distinctive handle design without finger holes, which gives you a clearer sightline to the cut line and allows a more flexible, pen-like grip during precision work.

The STALEKS Expert 90 series uses straight handles without finger holes (sometimes called tweezer-like or pen-grip handles). This design gives you an unobstructed view of the cutting area — traditional ring handles can block part of your sightline when working on fine cuticle detail. Without finger holes, the handles also won't graze skin during extended sessions, which reduces fatigue and discomfort during longer professional treatments. The pen-like grip allows more natural wrist rotation and angle adjustment during precise work.

Yes. The Expert 90 series is manufactured from AISI 420 stainless steel and is fully sterilisation-resistant. These scissors can be sterilised in an autoclave (up to 134°C) or a dry-heat oven, and disinfected with all standard salon disinfectant solutions. After sterilisation, dry the scissors thoroughly and store in a clean case with blades closed. Apply instrument oil to the joint periodically to maintain the smooth stroke.

Micro scissors are used primarily by professional manicurists and nail technicians for detailed cuticle work, by cosmetologists performing facial treatments that include cuticle care, and by brow artists who use them for precise eyebrow trimming. The miniature cutting part and unobstructed sightline make them well-suited to any procedure where precision in a small, confined area is important. They are also used in dermatology and medical cosmetology settings for minor skin and cuticle procedures.
