Collection: Staleks Professional Tools

Quick choice: Staleks tools are designed for professional manicures and pedicures, where precision, control and hygiene make a difference. Choose the tool according to the technical action required: lifting, pushing, cleaning, cutting or finishing.

How to choose the right Staleks tool

Before buying, consider the task you need to perform. A cuticle pusher prepares and cleans the nail plate, scissors provide precision around the cuticle, nippers offer greater stability when cutting, while tools such as PodoDisc are designed for professional pedicures with replaceable abrasive discs.

Cuticle pushers

Cuticle pushers are essential during nail preparation: they help lift and push back the cuticle, clean the nail plate and remove residue or pterygium with greater control. The shape of the working end changes the type of task: a more precise end is suited to smaller areas, while a wider end is useful for pushing and preparation.

• Expert 80 Type 5 Cuticle Pusher: designed for professional manicures, with a non-slip handle and a working end intended for precise cleaning.
• Staleks Pro Expert 90 Type 2 Cuticle Pusher: useful for lifting adherent cuticles and cleaning pterygium from the nail plate.
• PS-70/1 Cuticle Pusher: a practical tool for nail preparation and cleaning.

Cuticle scissors

Scissors are ideal when you need precision and controlled cutting. They are particularly useful for fine cuticles or work where you want to follow the natural line closely. The tip, blade curvature and handle shape can significantly affect how the tool feels in the hand.

• Smart 10 Type 3 Cuticle Scissors: hand-sharpened for precise cutting and good durability in everyday work.
• Smart 40 Type 3 Cuticle Scissors: extended handles and narrow blades for precision and comfort.
• Professional Exc 23 Type 2 Cuticle Scissors: hook-shaped tip and shortened straight handles for precise movements.
• Professional Exc 21 Type 2 Cuticle Scissors: shortened curved handles and a hook-shaped tip for easier access to the cuticle.
• Expert 51 Type 3 Cuticle Scissors with Hook Tip: suitable when maximum precision is required for cutting cuticles.

Professional nippers

Nippers are useful when you want more force, stability and control during cutting. They are widely used in salons when the cuticle is more resistant or when the professional prefers a firmer grip than scissors provide.

• Smart 10 7 mm Professional Nippers: designed for precise cutting, with an ergonomic design and hand sharpening.
• Expert 90 5 mm Professional Nippers: suitable for professional work requiring precision with a shorter blade.

Pedicure and PodoDisc

For professional pedicures, Staleks offers tools such as PodoDisc and replaceable abrasive discs. The advantage is a stable support combined with disposable or replaceable abrasive discs, allowing you to select the grit according to the work required.

• PodoDisc Expert M 20 mm: a stainless-steel disc for professional pedicures, compatible with replaceable abrasive discs.
• PodoDisc M 100 grit refill discs: a more abrasive grit, useful when greater material-removal capacity is required.
• PodoDisc M 180 grit refill discs: a finer grit, useful for finishing and gentler work.

Hygiene, maintenance and durability

A professional tool should be cleaned, dried and stored correctly after every use. Steel tools must be handled according to the salon's hygiene protocol. Avoid drops, impacts and contact that could damage blades or tips. To maintain precision over time, use each tool only for its intended purpose.

Mistakes to avoid

• Using scissors and nippers for the same action without assessing the cuticle.
• Cutting too close when you do not have complete visibility.
• Using a cuticle pusher with excessive pressure on the nail plate.
• Leaving tools damp after cleaning.
• Dropping scissors or nippers and damaging their tips or sharpening.
• Using abrasive discs with a grit that is not suitable for the task.
