For those who simply want a good, casual, and affordable nose hair trimmer, the Creation Springs Electra is the one.

How We Picked

Are you someone who is always overly conscious of their nose hairs being visible? You may have tried multiple other trimmers, plucking with tweezers, or clipping with scissors, but you haven’t found the perfect solution yet. Whether you’re shaping up your nose hairs for a night out, an important business meeting, or a holiday party at the office or with friends, there must be a better, easier, and faster way to keep this pesky problem in check.

Pulling the hairs out of your nose with tweezers is painful and time-consuming, and there’s only so far you can reach with even the tiniest pair of scissors. But don’t worry, there is an easier fix, and we’re here to tell you all about it. Nose hair trimmers are the fastest and easiest way to get yourself looking presentable for any occasion.

Luckily, there is a wide variety of options to choose from when it comes to nose hair trimmers. There’s everything from the basic, run of the mill, simple and affordable nose hair trimmer to the nose hair trimmer that doubles as a facial hair trimmer, works wet or dry, and vacuums up after itself as you go so you don’t have to wipe all of those little hairs out of the sink when you’re done. Nose hair trimmers cut down on time and pain for a reasonable amount of money. It’s well worth the convenience if you ask us.

So, the only real question here is: how do you find the right one to fill all of your trimming needs? Although buying the cheapest one is always an option, it’s not likely to be the best option or last the longest. Instead, you could buy the most expensive one, the one with all of the bells and whistles, but you may not need all of that or you may not have that much money allocated to this relatively small purchase. Luckily, we’re here to help you find the best nose hair trimmer for your individual needs, and we’ve done our research to put together this list of the best ones for 2019.

ToiletTree Trimmer

Specs

• Item dimensions: 5.5 x 1.2 x 1.2 inches
• Weight: 4 ounces
• Operation: 1 AA battery (not included)
• Stainless steel blades

The first nose hair trimmer on our list comes from a brand that may not be as widely known as some of the others (think Panasonic), but this trimmer is currently an Amazon’s Choice product, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a great price to begin with, but right now there is also a coupon offered by Amazon to make it an even easier and affordable purchase.

At first glance, this nose hair trimmer is sleek and compact, which makes it ideal for travel and for smaller bathrooms with little storage space. But the compact size and lightweight heft don’t take away from the strength and power of the stainless-steel blades. The rotating system design lets hairs enter the tip of the trimmer from the top and also the sides, so it can be used effectively for eyebrow, beard, and ear hairs, along with the nose hairs.

It has a handy, bright LED light that helps you find the hairs that are harder to see and reach. This trimmer is cordless, which is also great for travel and smaller cabinet or storage spaces. The water-resistant design makes it easy to use this trimmer in the shower, making it even easier as it drastically reduces any clean up time required after you’re done using it.

What We Like

This is one of the most versatile nose hair trimmers on the market. The rotating design makes it ideal for use on other types of hair, too. The LED light makes it easy to see inside the nose and ears, and the compact size makes it perfect for use in any situation, in any location.

Overall

ToiletTree has designed a nose hair trimmer that is perfect for anyone looking for versatility at a great price point. It’s a stylish pick, a great size, and the design is smooth and sleek.

Panasonic ER430K

Specs

• Item dimensions: 2 x 1 x 5 inches
• Weight: 3.84 ounces
• Operation: 1 AA battery (not included)
• Stainless steel blades

The next nose hair trimmer on our list is also our best overall pick. When it comes to making quality products, Panasonic really knows what they’re doing.

This is another compact, sleek option ideal for travel and small spaces. The dual edge stainless steel blades are curved to fit facial and nostril contours, and hypoallergenic so that they don’t irritate sensitive skin. This combination helps to provide a smooth finish without pulling hairs or damaging your skin, and it also makes it ideal for use in and around ears, beards, and eyebrows, too.

As an added bonus, this trimmer has a smart vacuum cleaning system that collects trimmed hair pieces as they fall and deposits them into a chamber so that they don’t land all over your face or the edge of the sink.

The ER430K is fully waterproof, so it can be used safely in the shower, too. It’s cordless and battery operated and comes with a travel pouch and cleaning brush.

What We Like

The curved, hypoallergenic blades are versatile, pain-free, and perfect for all types of facial hair.

Overall

The Panasonic ER430K is a great choice overall. The curved blades are a huge selling point, and the smart vacuum makes cleaning up a breeze.

Creation Springs Electra

Specs

• Item dimensions: not provided
• Weight: 4 ounces
• Operation: 1 AA battery (not included)
• Stainless steel blades

Up next on our list is another one that made it into our best picks; our best value pick goes to Creation Springs Electra. At such a low price, you might expect it to not work as well or as long as most other nose hair trimmers, but according to the reviews, Creation Springs has created an affordable trimmer that has no such problems.

This one will take up a bit more space on your bathroom sink with its holder, hair guard to keep the trim at the length you choose, and separate attachments for your sideburns and beard. The size also makes it great for trimming down unruly eyebrows.

The stainless-steel blades are operated by a powerful rotary motor to give you a clean and pain-free hair trimming experience.

The Electra is cordless and waterproof, so it’s great for all types of situations and places. But one of the best things about this trimmer is the premium build, especially at such a low price. Creation Springs created a nose hair trimmer from premium recycled plastic mixed with rubberized materials.

What We Like

This option is very affordable, waterproof, versatile, comes with attachments for your other trimming needs, and it’s eco-friendly. What’s not to like?

Overall

Here we have a great option for anyone who needs a basic nose hair trimmer with some helpful attachments and a great low price. The only thing that keeps this trimmer from being perfect is the missing LED light. If you have trouble seeing and reaching tough areas, that may be a problem here.

Philips Norelco Nose Trimmer 3100

Specs

• Item dimensions: 2 x 1 x 7 inches
• Weight: 4.8 ounces
• Operation: 1 AA battery (included)
• Chromium steel blade

Nose hair trimmer number four comes from another well-known brand, Philips Norelco. They have been making some of the best and most popular shaving products available on the market currently and for many years’ past. This is also the last of our best picks: the best premium pick.

If you’re willing to spend a little more money on a nose hair trimmer that you know you can count on, this is your best bet. This trimmer uses an ultra-sharp and finely ground chromium steel blade, accompanied by an ultra-thin foil guard (they call this their ProtecTube technology), and this combination allows for a smooth, clean, and effective trim without pulling hair or cutting skin.

The tip of the trimmer is angled to make it easier to use for nose and ear hair, but it also works well for eyebrows and comes with a separate eyebrow comb.

The trimmer is cordless for maneuverability and fully washable. One of the most unique features of this trimmer is that it comes backed by a 45-day money-back guarantee, which is not the case with most other trimmers, so the extra money is worth it for all of the extras you get here, if you ask us.

What We Like

The combination of the angled tip and the guard makes this an easy and pain-free experience. We also like the money-back guarantee, as most trimmers don’t come with this.

Overall

The reputation that Philips Norelco has built for themselves over the years lends a lot of confidence to any product option that has its name attached to it. There’s not much about this trimmer that can be improved: we have a foil guard to protect your hair and skin, an angled blade, and a money-back guarantee. Maybe the only thing that we could possibly complain about here is that it is not fully waterproof. It can be (and should be) rinsed under the faucet to clean it off, but it shouldn’t be used in the shower where your facial here is dripping wet.

Groom Mate Platinum XL

Specs

• Item dimensions: 3.1 x 0.5 x 3.1 inches
• Weight: 1.76 ounces
• Operation: hand operated, no batteries required
• Stainless steel blade

The Groom Mate Platinum XL Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer is by far the most unique option on our list. If you’re looking for a talking point, or an eco-friendly option that doesn’t require the use of batteries, this is it.

The blade is stainless steel and operates on a patented rotary system that is guaranteed not to dull, or to yank on your hairs as you trim. Without batteries or a motor powering this trimmer, you simply just have to place the trimmer in your nose or ear and twist the bottom of it. When you twist, the stainless-steel blade will rotate and chop the hairs, without tugging or pulling, or potentially running out of power halfway through.

This trimmer is designed to last a lifetime, and Groom Mate backs that up by providing an unconditional lifetime guarantee, which is nearly unheard of.

What We Like

There’s a reason Groom Mate has been producing this trimmer since 1991 and in 40 different countries across the world. This is a unique, eco-friendly, and easy to use alternative to all of the typical electronic trimmers. We also like that you don’t have to search all of the kitchen drawers for batteries every couple of months to use this trimmer. And you can’t beat that unconditional lifetime guarantee, either.

Overall

This is a great choice for anyone who isn’t attached to the idea of a battery-operated motor in their trimmer. It’s eco-friendly, cuts out the cost of batteries, and Groom Mate will replace it at any time if you have any problems with it. This is a great deal, and a fun, unique trimmer.

HECARE Ear and Nose Hair Trimmer

Specs

• Item dimensions: not provided
• Weight: 11 ounces
• Operation: 1 AA battery (not included)
• Stainless steel blades

Next up on our list is the HECARE ear and nose hair trimmer. It’s a somewhat hefty 3 in 1 style trimmer with some helpful extra features.

Like most of the other nose hair trimmers on this list, HECARE uses stainless steel blades on a rotating motor. It also comes with a cleaning brush and three interchangeable heads, which makes it great for stray hairs on the face, eyebrows, upper lip, sideburns, and other areas, as well as the nose hairs.

It’s cordless and battery operated so you can take it with you when you’re on the go. The affordable price and the 30-day money-back guarantee to make this a really easy purchase.

The head of the trimmer detaches so you can easily wash out the hair that gets stuck underneath, and it’s completely waterproof so you can use it and clean it inside or outside of the shower. It also comes with an LED light attached to make it easier to find all the harder to reach hairs. But the most unique feature of this particular trimmer is the child safety lock. This is a feature that we haven’t seen on any other nose hair trimmers, and it’s great to have if you have young, curious kids in the house that may get their hands on it and accidentally shave off an eyebrow otherwise.

What We Like

The three interchangeable heads and the child safety lock are the best features of this particular trimmer.

Overall

The HECARE ear and nose hair trimmer is a great choice for just about anyone, especially if there are kids in your house. The child safety lock and the money-back guarantee are really interesting and helpful features that we haven’t seen included with many others. Overall, this trimmer is hard to beat for the price you’re paying for it.

Braun Ear and Nose Hair Trimmer

Specs

• Item dimensions: 3.9 x 1.3 x 7.9 inches
• Weight: 4.2 ounces
• Operation: 1 AA battery (included)
• Stainless steel blades

Also, on our list is Braun’s ear and nose hair trimmer. Braun is another company that has been making high-quality shaving products for many years. They’re known for making reliable products and being the official electric shaver of the NFL, which is a pretty cool backing in our book.

The stainless-steel blades in this trimmer are circular to make them safer and more precise. The shape and design allow the trimmer to remove hairs from your nose and ears without pulling or tugging on them.

It’s compact, lightweight, and employs an ergonomic shape that makes it easy to handle in a variety of conditions, wet or dry.

It’s not recommended for submerging in water, so it may not be the best option if you’re looking for a trimmer that you can use in the shower each morning, but it’s safe to be rinsed under running water when you’re done so it’s easy to clean.

What We Like

Did we mention that this is the preferred electric shaver of the NFL? There’s no need to say more, but we will. The ergonomic shape is also a great bonus feature; it makes it easy to use at any angle and makes hard to reach hair reachable.

Overall

Braun is a company that is known to produce only high-quality products, so you know you can trust this trimmer to be effective and reliable. The circular design makes it safe and more precise; the shape and design make it easier to use, and it’s compact enough to take anywhere with you. Don’t let the somewhat cheap-looking packaging fool you, this is a great product at a great price, made by a great company.

Wahl 5545-400 Ear, Nose, and Brow Trimmer

Specs

• Item dimensions: 1.5 x 4.6 x 8.9 inches
• Weight: 4 ounces
• Operation: 1 AA battery (included)
• Professional quality steel blades

Last but definitely not least on our list today is the Wahl 5545-400 ear, nose, and eyebrow trimmer. Braun, Philips, and Panasonic are not the only heavy hitters on our list. Wahl is another very popular brand in this category, and for good reason.

Professionals in barbershops and salons have been using Wahl trimmers and full-size clippers since 1919, so they must be doing something right. Like the ToiletTree trimmer that is featured earlier on this list, this is also a current Amazon’s Choice product.

This is another 3 in 1 trimmer with three cutting head options, each with their own individual purpose. The rotary head is perfect for trimming ear and nose hairs, the reciprocating head is ideal for trimming and shaping eyebrows, and the detailing head works well for all other hair detailing like necklines and sideburns. They’re all easy to remove and clean, and the fact that they’re each separate makes it more hygienic. It also makes it easier to achieve the exact shape, length, and look that you’re going for in each of these different areas, rather than using the same cutter for each one even if you want to trim them or shape them to different degrees.

The trimmer and each of the attachable cutting heads is completely waterproof, so it can be used in the shower or anywhere else. The design also makes it very compact and portable, so it’s great for travel as well as home use. This is another battery-operated trimmer, so it’s cordless and convenient. The biggest complaint that we’ve noticed about this particular nose hair trimmer is the amount of noise that it makes. It’s not the loudest trimmer out there, but it’s also not the quietest, and many people compared it to the level of noise that you’d get with your average electric shaver, which really isn’t that unreasonable at all.

What We Like

This is a very versatile trimmer for a great, affordable price. The detachable and separate heads give you a more hygienic grooming experience, and Wahl is a very trustworthy brand, especially when it comes to hair trimmers and clippers.

Overall

Wahl’s 5545-400 ear, nose, and brow trimmer is a great overall pick. The different cutting heads, the angled shape, the ability to use it wet or dry, the compact design; there’s nothing here not to like.

Buyer’s Guide to Finding the Best Nose Hair Trimmers

Size

It’s important to consider the size when you’re choosing the best nose hair trimmers for the amount of space you have allocated to them. If you have a small open area around your bathroom sink that is already mostly taken up by electric toothbrushes, toothpaste, containers holding floss and Q-tips, and hand soap, you probably don’t want a large nose hair trimmer that comes with a stand, several attachments, and pesky cords. But if space is not as issue, you may want to go with a larger nose hair trimmer that comes with the extras, looks nice, and fills up some of that currently empty space. Size is not the most important factor when it comes to choosing your nose hair trimmer, but it’s something to consider.

Style

Is the way the nose hair trimmer looks important to you? Are you going to be sharing it with someone else or is it just for you? Does it need to be slick black to fit in with the rest of your bathroom, or can it be any color because it’s going right into the cabinet and you don’t care how it looks anyway? Do you want a stand, a tiny eyebrow comb, detachable heads, an angled head, or an ergonomic handle? The nose hair trimmers on this list come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, so it’s easy to find one that best fits your own personal style. If style doesn’t matter to you, you can just cross that off of the list of considerations and move on to the next (and more fun, in our opinion) component of our buyer’s guide: the features.

Features

Many of these nose hair trimmers offer a variety of extra features. All of them are battery operated and cordless, so this is great for portability, but it also means that you’ll have to consider all of the other factors more heavily in your decision because there aren’t any that will get eliminated just for being corded. One of the features we like the most is the angled tip. This makes it easier to fit into hard to reach places, but probably isn’t something that everyone cares about.

Another really helpful feature is the LED light, which makes it a lot easier to see the hairs in the area that you’re focusing on and illuminates any hard to reach places that you’re working with, but may not be necessary if you have good lighting in your bathroom or you’d rather just reach in blindly than have a tiny LED light shining right in your eyes.

One or two of the trimmers that we found even had a tiny vacuum attached to catch all of the falling bits of hair so that it’s easier to clean up when you’re done trimming. But the most unique feature of all the nose hair trimmers we looked at was the child safety lock. The best way to narrow down your options is to decide on which features you absolutely want or need, and then cross off any of the trimmers on this list that don’t have that particular feature.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nose Hair Trimmers

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about nose hair trimmers. If we weren’t able to answer a specific question that you have, please let us know so that we can help you and all of our future visitors get the answers that they need to make this decision.

Q: What are nose hair trimmers?

A: Nose hair trimmers are used to remove or trim unwanted hairs from in and around the nose. Most of them can also be used in and around the ears, and many come with different attachments so that they can also be used on different areas of the face like the eyebrows, lips, hairline on the forehead and neck, beard, and sideburns. They’re an easy, convenient, and often compact way to remove hair without the pain of plucking or pulling out with tweezers, and the time and space constraints of clean shaving. They’re also much easier and safer than sticking a pair of scissors or the corner of a razor into one of your dark nasal passages where it’s hard to see or reach to begin with.

Q: What types of nose hair trimmers are available?

A: There is a wide variety of nose hair trimmers on the market right now. In today’s market, most nose hair trimmers are battery-operated, so they’re easy to move around with. If you’re looking for an eco-friendlier option, there’s one on the list (the Groom Mate Platinum XL) that doesn’t require any batteries or a cord, just two hands and a twist. This is one of the most unique nose hair trimmers that we came across.

There are some that are completely waterproof so you can use them in the shower to save yourself some time before work in the morning or on your way out at night, and others are just water-resistant instead, so it’s not recommended that you use them in the shower, but you can rinse them off when you’re done using them so they don’t get too dirty or clogged up with pieces of discarded facial hair.

Q: What are the uses of a nose hair trimmer?

A: Nose hair trimmers can be used for most areas that hair is not overly thick or unruly. They’re not recommended for areas like the top of your head, legs, etc., and work best on thinner, shorter hairs like the ones that are typically found on the face. Nose hair trimmers are most commonly used for the hairs in and around the nostrils, in and around the ears, between, above, and below the eyebrows, in and around mustache lines and light beard lines, sideburns, and the neckline.

Q: What are nose hair trimmers made out of?

A: Most nose hair trimmers have stainless steel blades attached to a rotary motor so that they don’t rust or corrode for a long time. Others use professional quality or chromium steel blades that aren’t exactly as high level as stainless steel, but they’re highly effective and should be comparable for the decreased price that is usually associated with this type of trimmer.

Surrounding the blades is typically some combination of other components like plastic and other metals. Some nose hair trimmers have protective cones that are typically made of specialized foil. For more information about the components of your particular nose hair trimmer, you can check the manufacturer’s website or call their customer service line.

Q: How long will nose hair trimmers last?

A: High-quality nose hair trimmers are built to last an entire lifetime. However, unless it comes with a lifetime guarantee, there’s no way to be sure that it will actually last an entire lifetime. If you’re picking out the most expensive nose hair trimmer you can find and you’re worried about having to replace it within the next few years, check the product information to see if it comes with a warranty before you buy it. If you can’t find the information right on the website, most sellers will offer a customer service phone number or e-mail that you can reach out to in order to get more information on this.

Be sure to ask how long the warranty is for and what it covers. Generally, the life of a nose hair trimmer (and most other products of this size and price point) will depend on a number of individual factors, like how often it’s used, how well it’s taken care of, and if the owner uses it in the way it was meant to be used. For example, if the nose hair trimmer you buy is only water-resistant and not waterproof, using it in the shower may reduce the amount of time that it remains fully functional. The best way to guarantee or extend the life of your nose hair trimmer is to read and follow the instructions that come with it after you buy it but before you use it for the first time.
