The curette is an underappreciated tool. Many techs don’t know about it or why they should use it.
So what is the Curette?
A curette is a long metal tool that has a small spoon (usually 1-2mm in diameter) on each end resembling a very tiny melon baller. It can be used to clean under the fingernails and toenails or, even better, it can be used to remove cuticle from the nail plate. The curette is a great alternative to using a cuticle nipper.
To use the curette, after lifting and loosening the cuticle with a cuticle pusher, glide the curette spoon on its side along the cuticle line using a circular or c-shaped motion. This will detach the cuticle without the use of a nipper.
