As with any product, nose hair clippers are not all the same. In essence, this is a very simple device: it just trims your nose hair, right? You would be surprised how many variations and options there are between products. From how they’re powered and what they’re made of to how big they are and what options they include, not to mention how much they cost, it’s not hard to find nose hair clippers that give you exactly what you’re looking for in a product, whatever that may be.
Let’s look at some of the choices you’ll encounter, as listed above, and take a bit of a closer look at each.
Power
Nose hair clippers come in either manual or electric. Manual clippers are like small hole punchers; they are small, hand-held, and have a spring to make trimming easy. Electric nose hair trimmers are usually battery powered, although some may have a charging base or plug into the wall. Battery powered is most common because it makes them portable and discreet.
Material
The blade material is what you are concerned with. Look for stainless steel, as this is most resistant to rust and is very easy to keep clean.
Size
Generally, nose hair clippers will all be pretty small. Manual clippers are smallest because they only need two short handles, while electric must have room for a small motor and often batteries. The more advanced they are, often the larger they are also, to make room for those accommodations.
Options & features
These are where most of the price differences are found. From the basic, straight-up manual clippers to advanced electronics clippers, there’s a lot of in between. Some electric models are made to work both wet and dry. Others feature no-slip rubber grip and even ergonomic body shape for easy holding. Still others feature brushes and other add-ons.
Cost
As mentioned above, cost has mostly to do with the features of your nose hair clippers. Quality of material will also play a role, as will brand name. For example, the Hammacher Schlemmer nose hair clippers cost more than your basic Conair clippers, but they also do more. It all depends on what you’re looking for.
