Top 10 Tweezer Selection Tips

What exactly makes a "good" pair of tweezers? Aren't they all the same? As it turns out, they're not.

The $5 variety you can buy at the grocery store may be perfectly serviceable, but you’ll be happier long term if you invest in a great set of tweezers.

An array of tweezers -- varying greatly in quality and cost -- is available if you take the time to look.

1. You need more than one pair of tweezers. Shoot for at least three types used for different purposes.
  • Very fine, pointy-ended for detailed brow sculpting when you need to pluck single hairs.
  • A precision tip tweezer with slightly large sharp ends for removing deep rooted hairs.
  • Large ended, slanted tip tweezers for removing numerous hairs quickly.
2. Tweezers should be made of a high quality metal, such as stainless steel, that will not become blunt quickly or be prone to rust.

3. Tweezers with non-slip grips for your fingers allow for easier maneuverability which is especially
important when working near the eyes.

4. Avoid tweezers that are large or clumsy.

5. Consider tweezers with scissor-style handles for even easier tweezing. In fact, they are ideal for people with weak hands or painful joints.

6. Titanium or gold plated tweezers are considered to be the best however stainless still is also regarded as good quality. Price is usually a good indicator of quality.

7. Choose tweezers which are sturdy and do not bend or bow during handling prior to purchase. Stay away from plastic.

8. Be sure to purchase a case or box which allows for secure storage. Tweezers knocking together can become blunt.

9. It’s handy to bring the mirror you will use for tweezing with you to purchase tweezers as this will help you determine the perfect length you need.

10. Many tweezers offer texture inside the tips which can make gripping and pulling tiny hairs easier.
