As someone who spends hours a day doing detailed cuticle work, the tools I reach for need to be sharp, ergonomic, and precise. Katie Barnes Academy's KB Curved Cuticle Scissors caught my attention because of the curved blade design, which is less common than straight cuticle scissors.
These are made from Japanese stainless steel with a chromium-plated finish for rust prevention. The curved blade design genuinely improves visibility while cutting, which reduces the risk of nicking surrounding skin - something I appreciated during longer service days.
The ergonomic handle noticeably reduced hand fatigue compared to the straight scissors I was using previously, and the brand notes they're designed to help with RSI, Carpal Tunnel, and Fibromyalgia - which tracks with how much more comfortable the grip felt over repeated use.
Pros: Japanese stainless steel blades, curved design improves visibility and precision, ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue, suitable for both left- and right-handed use, available in silver or black.
Cons: Black titanium coating can wear over time with heavy use, requires gentle ultrasonic cleaning only (no harsh disinfectant solutions) to protect the coating.
Regular price is £39.99, and the site was running a 25% off "Quarter Finals" promotion at the time of this review - worth checking if that discount is still active.
