Hair is a globally desirable body attribute, but not when it’s growing in awkward places like the nostrils. Most people want to make sure that all the hair stays on their head alone– so they turn to hair removal methods to trim unruly hairs growing anywhere else. Unfortunately, nose hair is inevitable, especially as the age clock continues to tick. Now, we need to do something to keep those wayward strands neat and tidy, and it’s an obligation to society to keep them as inoffensive as possible. However, the nostrils are tiny and sensitive, so scissors may not be the best way to go about the trim. Besides, one wrong nick could have you looking like Voldemort. The best bet is to buy a good nose hair trimmer that doesn’t necessarily rake out all the protective hairs in your nostrils–but trims the excess and leaves a nice, groomed nose. No nicks.
So, to help you with safe and effective nose hair trimming, we have compiled a list of the best nose hair trimmers on the market. Let’s get trimmin’.
Best Nose Hair Trimmers
1. Panasonic ER-GN30-K Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer
We picked the Panasonic ER-GN30-K as our best nose trimmer because this guy does more than you expect. Instead of only chopping down the forest in your nostrils, it also works as an ear hair trimmer, eyebrow trimmer, and facial hair trimmer. You asked for one thing, but you get everything. This product is designed with dual-edge curved blades– so they’ll get in close enough to trim hair without irritating sensitive nostrils. Plus, the blades are also hypoallergenic, so the risk of getting irritation with this product is little or zero.
This trimmer is suitable for wet and dry use– so you can use it as part of your shower grooming routine, or when you’re out and about. It also weighs a light 2.2 ounces, so that increases the ease of use of this product. The ergonomic exterior makes it easy to handle the Panasonic ER-GN30-K anywhere–even if it’s wet. Another bonus is that this product is super easy to clean. It features a Vortex cleaning system that swirls water through all parts of the blade to ensure that all stuck hairs are washed out.
If you are using this product on the go, however, be sure to pack spare batteries. The trimmer is powered by one AA battery (not included with purchase), and those don’t last forever, do they?

The Philips Norelco 3000 trimmer is a versatile piece of equipment- it will do nose hair, ear hair, and eyebrows. This trimmer comes with two eyebrow guards that make detailing so easy to do – no need to sit under a barber before you have unruly brows groomed and tidy. For us, the best nose trimmers have to be the ones that are not awkward to handle–they should feel a lot less like a slippery stick and a lot more like a mini clipper. Philips got that right with the Norelco- and that’s why they made it to our number two spot.
The trimmer is designed in such a way that it reaches into tricky areas easily, but without pulling your nose hairs or causing discomfort. The textured exterior also ensures that the trimmer doesn’t slip out of wet hands. Plus, and this is a huge plus, this product features two changeable trimming elements- a dedicated nose trimmer and another skin-friendly one that’s protected with an ultra-thin foil guard and a rounded tip that help prevent skin irritations, so it’s okay to use this close to your skin.
The Philips Norelco 3000 is battery-powered, and runs on AA batteries that come included in the pack, although you’d have to replace those frequently.
Specifications
Brand: Phillips
Model: NT3000/49
Weight: 2.72 ounces
Power: AA Battery
Pros
- Interchangeable heads
- Waterproof
- 100% washable
- Easy-to-use design
Cons
- Some parts are not replaceable.
ToiletTree’s steel trimmer is at our number three, but not in terms of quality or speed. The trimmer’s rotary cutter motor spins twice as fast as other trimmers. The fast rotor allows hairs to enter the trimmer tip from the top and the sides, so no stray hair is left in your nose, brows, and beard. Also, this would help filter hair evenly, so you’re not left with completely bald nostrils– you still need the hairs for protection; you just don’t need a forest to do it.
The steel exterior is lightweight, yet super durable and non-corrosive, so you can use the trimmer in the shower without fear of rusting. This also makes it easy to clean without leaving a hairy mess all over your sink. One thing that makes this trimmer stand out from the rest of the bunch is the LED light built in the tip. Say goodbye to blind poking because you can’t see your way– the light will help you see right where to cut. We have to say that it’s not particularly useful for nose hair trimming, unless you’re using the tool in a dark or badly-lit environment, and that just raises a lot of questions. Quit being shady and step into the light to do your grooming, Chad.
ToiletTree’s trimmer is powered by just 1 AA battery (not included with purchase), which makes it a budget-friendly way to take care of the unruly vines growing out of unwanted places on your body.

Model: TTP-TRIM-1

The HECARE trimmer is a bad boy that does all– nose hair, ear hair, eyebrows, sideburns, and beards. The stainless rotor is designed to work with three interchangeable heads- one for nose hair and eye hair, one for sideburns and one for eyebrows. This means you get precise, clean trims because you’d be using tools designed specifically for each hairy situation. The eyebrows and sideburns trimmers can be used without a battery, as they do not need the rotary cutting movement of the motor. The hypoallergenic blades on each head make sure that you get nothing less than perfection for each swerve, and the storage caddy that comes with the heads make them easy to store away.
The HECARE trimmer also has a non-corrosive exterior, much like ToiletTree’s. It is suitable for wet or dry trimming, so you’re keeping embarrassing hairs at bay in the shower and out of the shower. As a literal lightbulb addition, HECARE added a LED light that makes it easier to see your way to those hard to reach areas, thus reducing the risk of getting nicks and cuts.
The trimmer is also 100% waterproof, so cleaning it only takes a few dunks under a faucet, and that’s it. You get 90 minutes of clean trimming with the HECARE trimmer, thanks to a single AA battery that you should remm=ember to change from time to time.
To top, HECARE threw in a one-year guarantee that covers all product malfunctions within the period.

Brand: HECARE
Model: E5-901
Weight: 4.2 ounces

The Braun EN10 trimmer is a classic fusion of simple elegance and performance. If you’d prefer function over fuss, then this is your guy. Braun is a respected brand, and they kept the reputation with this trimmer. In fact, this product comes highly recommended by the NFL, and it is the official trimmer of the league. If you were wondering how those football players manage to look so well-groomed, well, you have your answer. The high-performance, rotary blade system of the trimmer ensures that you get your ear and nose hair accurately trimmed every time, without pulling or tugging. The ergonomic handle makes it easy to reach hairs from any angle– it’s not awkward to handle.
The Exact series trimmer is also very easy to clean– hold it under running water, and you’re done. However, one downside to this trimmer is that it makes a hell of a noise. The vibrating motor is too loud for most– have you ever slept off and woken up to an aggressive, vibrating phone near your ear? The Braun Exact is very much like that, and we didn’t like that at all.
However, the lightweight, portable design of the trimmer is a win for us, and considering the painless, bloodless trimming, we have to say the pluses outweigh the downsides on this one. But BRAUN, take our friendly advice and turn that noise down. Maybe throw in a LED light too, and reduce the size of the trimmer tip so it’ll be easy to trim ear hairs. Then you’d have made the perfect product.
Specifications
Brand: Braun
Model: Exact EN-10
Weight: 4.2 ounces
Power: AA Battery
Pros
- Ergonomic handle
- Easy to clean
- Lightweight
- Portable
Cons
- Trimmer motor is noisy

- Rotary blades are sometimes slow
If Wahl did not make their own hair trimmer, a lot of hairy brows would have been raised. It’s almost impossible to think clippers and haircuts without thinking of Wahl. The brand has consistently delivered hair grooming products for decades. The multipurpose trimmer comes with three interchangeable heads for eyebrow detailing, sideburn trimming and nose hair trimming respectively.
The ergonomic design of the sleek trimmer makes it super easy to handle and maneuver, even when you’re dealing with tricky angles. You don’t have to worry about durability with this product because its exterior is made of stainless steel, not plastic. So, no rusty body and certainly no rusty blades. The stainless blades quickly rinse clean underwater. Because it is powered by a single AA battery, that dispels any worries about use on the go. Just carry a spare pack, and you’ll be ready to deal with unwanted hair anytime, anywhere.
However, this baby is not the most heavy-duty trimmer on the market. They’ll work just great, but take proper care to pack them appropriately if you’re going on a trip. It’s good to know that Wahl offers a 3-year hassle-free warranty on their product, so if you’re sleeping on this, we have to wonder why.
Specifications
Brand: Wahl
Model: 5545-400
Weight: 4.8 ounces
Power: AA Battery
Pros
- Anti-corrosive steel body
- Ergonomic
- Easy to clean
- Three multipurpose heads

Since we’ve been talking about noisy trimmers, this product is a breath of fresh air. Say hello to fresh hair with Suprent’s quiet trimmer. While it’s not totally noiseless at 50dB, it won’t wake your baby up at 2 am, and it won’t give you a headache either. The “R”-round 420 stainless steel rotation blade will efficiently and quickly capture all nose hair in sight. To take it al a step further, it would also capture nose hairs, not in view, thanks to the bright LED light installed on the base of the trimmer tip.
To ensure that all hairs get the trimming they deserve, the Suprent trimmer comes with two interchangeable heads– a nose and ear trimmer for apparent purposes, and a detail trimmer eyebrows and sideburns styling. You’ll never be caught with anything less than a sharp hairline anymore. With the IPX7 waterproof count of the Suprent trimmer, you can get your trimming done in the shower or out of it- no stress.
This product, like the others in this review, is cordless and powered by only one AA battery. Also, cleaning it only requires a rinse under the tap, easy peasy.

We put Panasonic on number 9 because we wanted to save the best for last (or almost last). In our books, this is the best nose and ear hair trimmer overall. Why? We’ll tell you. Nose hair trimming has a system to it- and trimmers get perks if they fulfill three things: versatility, ease of use, and ease of cleaning. You probably think that all the other products on the list meet all three, but Panasonic’s ER430K is the only trimmer with a built-in vacuum cleaner. That means that this smooth equipment collects all the hair that accumulate while you shave and stores them in a tiny compartment so you can discard those easily. It’s too cool. Add the fact that it’s practically noiseless and truly doesn’t pull hairs, and you can see why we’re so sold on this product.
Also, the Panasonic ER430K claims that the blades are crafted after state-of-the-art Japanese blade methods, and that’s what makes them so precise. So feel free to name your trimmer after your favorite ninja or anime character, if you wish. We have to say again, there’s absolutely no painful pulling or tugging of hairs, and the steel blades are hypoallergenic, so even the most sensitive Joe will not get a reaction out of this trimmer.
You can use this product wet or dry- it’s built to work either way.

Brand: Panasonic
Model: ER430K
Weight: 5.6 ounces
Power: AA Battery
Pros
- Advanced vacuum cleaning system makes cleanup easy

Ladyker’s Sportsman 3-in-1 trimmer is different from all the other products on this list because it is not battery-powered. Instead, it has an in-built rechargeable battery so you can save the bucks on replacement batteries. Apart from that difference, the Sportsman lives up to the expectations of a hair trimmer, and may surpass some.
Instead of only trimming hairs in dark, dank areas like the nose and ears, this trimmer put true sportsmanship to work, and will effectively trim armpit hair, mustaches, beards, bikini lines and anywhere else that hair grows on the body. Thanks to the interchangeable trimmer heads, all with stainless steel circular blade that makes 6500 revolutions per minute, all hair will be neatly trimmed without pulling or tugging.
The blades are 100% waterproof, and this means you can use this nose trimmer in the shower and easily rinse hair and debris off. Besides, this hair trimmer set is compact and
Portable, so it’ll be easy to use on the go and pack for traveling.

Buying Guide and FAQ for Nose Hair Trimmer
What We Look for in Creating our Nose Hair Trimmer Reviews
Age happens to all of us. The clock is ticking, and our bodies are ever eager to remind us of that fact by sprouting hair in all the wrong places. While you cannot do anything about the tick-tock, you can at least make sure you keep the unruly vines tamed and as inoffensive as possible.
Having established that a nose hair trimmer trumps scissors and chainsaws at doing the grooming job, here are a few things you should consider before you choose ‘the one’ nose hair trimmer that’s perfect for you.

So, a great trimmer would be versatile enough to do most, if not all, of your hair trimming needs. Most of the ones on our list simultaneously do nose hair, ear hair, and even beards and sideburns.
2. Durability: No one wants to spend bucks on flimsy stuff that won’t last. We made sure to pick good quality trimmers that will stand up to the test of time, use, and kinky hair. Whether your hair is straight or curly, a good trimmer would do the job without coughing, sputtering, or giving up the ghost.
3. Price: No stories- but you don’t have to break the bank to look clean. We picked products that offered value for the price, but ultimately considered that a hair trimmer is a piece of daily go-to equipment, so we chose the products that were most reasonably priced. In case of replacement, you don’t have to break an arm and a leg to get another unit.
FAQ
How to use a nose hair trimmer?
It’s pretty easy to use a nose trimmer. However, you need to bear in mind that trimming does not mean completely chopping off. You need to keep your nose hairs tidy, not go completely nose bald.

Tilt your head backward and don’t push in too far, so you don’t cause any damage. It would help to use a trimmer that doesn’t pull nose hairs so that the process is as painless as possible. Also, the ones with LED light help a great deal, so you don’t just blindly saw down the forest, but make sure you do the deed in a well-lit environment either way.
