Slanted eyebrow tweezers suit shaping the outline and removing hairs of any type, pointed ones are for fine and ingrown hairs, and straight ones for correcting the brow shape. The choice comes down to two things: the shape of the edge and how tightly the tips meet. The closure decides whether the tweezers catch a fine hair without snapping it.
Which eyebrow tweezers to choose: slanted, pointed or straight
Slanted tweezers remove hairs of any type, so the main shaping is usually done with them. Pointed ones have thin, sharp tips and pick up fine, vellus and ingrown hairs, including in hard-to-reach spots. Straight tweezers with wide edges are meant for correcting the brow shape.
For shaping and brow architecture, masters often keep two tools. The maker of the pointed OkO 03 Ultra Point tweezers recommends using it after the main shaping with a slanted pair, for fine and ingrown hairs and thinning out.
Professional tweezers: steel, edge, tip closure
Professional tweezers differ from ordinary ones in material, edge sharpening and how tightly the tips meet. Staleks names the steel grade in its descriptions, 12X17 in the Classic series and 40X13 in Expert 10 type 5, and describes hand-sharpened edges. A tight closure of the blades is needed so that the tweezers pick up the finest hairs without snapping them.
How to care for eyebrow tweezers and whether disinfection is needed
Yes, tweezers that touch a client's skin are treated between clients with an agent and method the tool manufacturer permits. Elan states that the pointed Skilful Tweezers withstand repeated exposure to disinfectants. Products for treating tools are collected in the Disinfection and Sterilization category.
Many tweezers have hand-sharpened edges, so it is better to store them in a case or box. Tweezer cases are made by Nikk Mole.
