How to Use a Tweezer

plucking and tweezing eyebrows

Type of Tool:Any Seki Edge tweezer

Easy Steps to Get Professional Tweezing Results

1. Make sure skin and hair are clean and free of dirt and make-up. Don’t use creams or moisturizers on the area to be tweezed. This will make it hard to grip the hair and cause the tweezer to slip.

2. Brush hair in the direction of hair growth.

3. Isolate the hair you are about to tweeze.

4. Use a Seki Edge Tweezer to grip the hair. Tweeze in the direction of hair growth and do so after a shower or hot towel to open pores.

5. Tweeze one hair at a time. Pull gently and smoothly, making sure not to yank or tear skin.

6. NOTE: Slant Tip Tweezers are the most common tweezer for general tweezing, such as eyebrows. Use Pointed Tipped Tweezers for precision work, like removing ingrown hairs, splinters or difficult to reach hairs.

7. When finished tweezing, use alcohol or astringent to close pores and prevent infection.

8. MAINTENANCE: Clean tweezers with alcohol or soap and water after each use. Dry them and store in a secure container to protect tips from becoming bent or dropped.

CAUTION: Do not drop tweezers. This can damage the tips and throw tweezers out the alignment.

Do you sharpen tweezers?

At Seki Edge / JATAI, we DO NOT offer any tweezer sharpening policy. It is our belief that the when sharpening dull tweezers, you continue to shave off layers of metal and eventually making them useless. Tweezers will never perform like they used to. We highly recommend using "rubbing alcohol" and cleaning the inside of the tweezer edge. Cleaning the tweezer with rubbing alcohol often removes all the oils, dirt and grime caught in the grooves of the metal.

The sharpness of the tweezer often is related to the quality of the metal. When a metal dulls quickly, the metal cannot hold its hardness. Harder stainless steel will hold stay sharper longer than "cheaper" stainless steel under the same wok load. Seki Edge uses a 17-4 Precipitation Hardening also known as Type 630 is a chromium-copper precipitation hardening stainless steel used for applications requiring height strength and a moderate level of corrosion resistance. High strength is maintained to approximately 600 degrees Fahrenheit (316 degrees Celsius). Our stainless steel is produced in Japan, not in Pakistan or China like our competitor brands. Basically speaking, our stainless steel is of the highest quality and resists dulling.

If the tweezer is dropped or the tips become bent due to the fault of the customer, Seki Edge / JATAI will not be held responsible. Seki Edge / JATAI's Lifetime Guarantee only covers "manufacturer defects" or reasons responsible to the company.
