Do you have the unfortunate pleasure of cultivating a small forest in your nose? Do your nostril bushes irritate or annoy you? Do you hate the way they look aesthetically? Then you may want to find the best nose hair trimmer for you.
Nasal hair isn’t a bad thing. It helps retain moisture and it protects your airways from nasty stuff, acting like nature’s air filter. It’s a blessing that we have nose hairs. But there can be too much of a good thing. Sometimes these hairs get too long and need to be culled. You could yank them out with tweezers or some other tool, but that’s time consuming and painful.
A nose hair trimmer is your ideal solution to this little problem. It tames the hairs without removing them or causing you pain.
Naturally, if you want to get them in check you’re probably looking around for a nose hair trimmer as we speak, but there are thousands of unique ones on the market, and every single company promises theirs is the best. So…
Which nose hair trimmer really IS the best?
As always, we’ve picked out our choices for the best nose hair trimmers on the market. If you really need one, these are the five you should take a look first.
Topping our list is the Nose, Ear & Hair Trimmer from Panasonic. This wet/dry trimmer can be used in the shower, out of the shower, in the bath, on the moon, and just about anywhere else you’d want to use it.
KEEPO’s Nose Ear Hair Trimmer, Portable Manual Stainless Steel Remover, Fingernail Clipper, Earpick And Cleaning Brush is a close second. So close that it’s practically a tie. This trimmer is an all-in-one tool that can do a ridiculous number of really awesome things.
The number three on this list is a neat automatic trimmer from ToiletTree Products, called the Professional Water Resistant Heavy Duty Steel Nose Trimmer. As the name suggests, it’s a professional quality steel nose hair trimmer. This one was made to power through the densest patches of nasal overgrowth. No hair will go untrimmed when you deploy this bad boy.
Following that act is the all-black Nose and Hair Trimmer from Fortas. The cool, minimalist design tells us to expect quality from this device. If you use this trimmer once, you might never want to try another one.
Last but certainly not least, is the Norelco Nose trimmer 5100 Facial Hair Precision Trimmer for Men, by Philips. I don’t know who this Philip character is, but he sure can make a good trimmer. This isn’t just for the nose. This is an all-in-one facial grooming kit.

#1. Nose, Ear, and Hair Trimmer by Panasonic
Panasonic advertises this as a personal groomer “for men”, but don’t let the gendered label discourage ladies. If you’ve got a furry nose and you’d like to trim it down, I don’t think the machine cares about anything under your chin.
The device is really easy to use. It has an on switch. That’s it. There are a couple of other functions but basically, you just press the button and you’re in business. Stick it up your nose, clear out the nostril forests, and then clean it out.
Panasonic’s vortex cleaning system makes cleaning it off really easy – it takes in water and spins it through the device, cleaning it inside and out in seconds. That is practically the definition of convenience.
This device isn’t just for your nose either, its design allows for cleaning out ear hair and grooming body hair. You can use it to tame your bushy brows or do some fancy detailing work to your mustache.
One of the things we like the most about this trimmer though is that the blades are hypoallergenic. What that means is that everyone can use them. You see, some people have allergies to certain common types of metals. They can cause rashes and irritation to people sensitive to them. A hypoallergenic material will not create those symptoms in people with sensitivity to certain metals.
To put it simply – it’s safe for people with metal allergies.
In terms of maintenance, it comes with a cleaning brush, a cap, and it only takes one battery to operate for up to 90 minutes continuously.
What We Like
- Hypoallergenic blades
- Easy to use
- Multiple uses
- Easy to clean
- Waterproof
What We Don't Like
- Breaks easily
#2. Nose Ear Hair Trimmer, Portable Manual Stainless Steel Remover, Fingernail Clipper, Earpick And Cleaning Brush by KEEPO
The design for this piece is fantastic. It’s sleek, it looks amazing, and it’s very durable. It’s made of stainless steel. This trimmer will last you years easily. The blades will remain sharp for a long time, and no matter what you do to this thing, it will not break. You can do anything short of outright abusing it and it’ll still perform like brand new.
The blades are designed in such a way that they never actually touch your skin – rather, they cut down your nose hairs like a power saw in the woods, without the risk of nicking yourself.
It’s easy to use and easy to clean. There’s no battery needed, and you can use it with one hand. To use it, all you need to do is stick it up your nose and press down on the sides of the trimmer to make the blades inside move and cut those nose hairs. And when you’re all done with it, all you have to do is rinse it under some water and it’s clean as a whistle.
One of the coolest features of this piece isn’t just the nose hair trimmer itself. It also comes with a bunch of other essential grooming tools. There’s an ear pick for safety cleaning out your ears, and nail clippers for trimming down your talons. Plus there’s a cleaning brush to keep the whole set spic and span.
Like our number 1 pick, this set is so well designed, even professional barbers like to keep a set for home use.

#3. Professional Water Resistant Heavy Duty Steel Nose Trimmer by ToiletTree
As suggested by the name, this trimmer can be used in rain or shine. Whether you’re in the shower or in front of the mirror, you won’t need to worry about this one. It can be rinsed off with water, so cleaning is as easy as turning on the tap – or as easy as using the trimmer.
The blades are stainless steel, providing you with a close, smooth trim. It’s got a high powered design, so even thicker patches of nostril floof will get pulverized by this device.
It’s battery powered and very easy to use. There is a LED light that can be used to find hard-to-see hairs that cause plenty of irritation.
Its longevity is incredible. It comes close to beating the #2 trimmer in that regard. The stainless steel blades are durable and will last a long time, and the body is made from steel as well, so it can handle a lot of punishment and wear and tear.
What We Like
- LED light
- Easy to use
- Water resistant
- Long lasting
- Easy to clean
What We Don't Like

#4. Nose and Hair Trimmer by Fortas
Stainless steel makes yet another appearance on this list. These blades are finely milled, meaning extra care was taken to ensure the blades are as sharp as possible. The trimmer is designed in such a way that the blades have no chance of cutting your skin, so you can bushwack your nose hairs to your heart’s content.
Thanks to the sharpness of the blades, there’s less tugging and irritation caused by the trimmer. With other trimmers, they can get caught or jammed by too much hair, which really really hurts. With this one, you don’t need to worry about that problem coming up.
It has a detachable head, letting you swap between the hair trimmer and the nose trimmer heads, using either as needed.
All it needs is a single battery and it will run for ages. The long battery life comes in handy when you’ve got a lot of hair to deal with.
What We Like
- Easy to use
- Detachable heads
- Long battery life
- Good design
- No risk of cutting skin
What We Don't Like
- Allergenic metal
- Breaks easily
- Not waterproof
#5. Norelco Nose trimmer 5100 Facial Hair Precision Trimmer for Men by Philips
The trimmer uses a dual cut system, with two sets of blades overlapping to rid you of all your unwanted nose hairs. The tips of the blades are rounded so you can rub up on your skin with them and cut hairs right at the very root without cutting yourself.
This trimmer provides the closest cut of the entire list as far as we’re concerned, and its shape allows it to go fairly deep. If you’d like the nuclear option with cleaning nose hairs, this is it. It allows for you to precisely control how much hair you eliminate, which is great for people who find themselves unsatisfied with other trimmers.
This is an all-in-one piece. You can use it as a beard trimmer, you can use it to line up your facial hair, and you can clear out unwanted ear hair with it too.
It’s water resistant for easy cleaning.
It comes with a cleaning brush, eyebrow combs, a beard comb and a pouch to store the components in.
What We Like
- Precise
- Multiple uses
- Easy to use
- Water resistant
- No risk of cutting skin
What We Don't Like
- Breaks easily
- Jams easily
- Lots of tugging when blades dull
- Allergenic metal
What to look for in a nose hair trimmer
So finding a good nose hair trimmer isn’t too hard. There are just a few things to look out for when you purchase one.
- Hypoallergenic metal – If you don’t have any sensitivity to different metal types then you don’t have to worry about this at all, but if you do, make sure you find trimmers with hypoallergenic metals instead of steel/nickel.
- Waterproof – A lot of people like to use nose hair trimmers in the shower, so it’s important to try and find one that can be used in the shower if you are so inclined.
- Good blades – Most importantly, you don’t want blades that dull quickly – when they dull, you will experience a lot of tugging and pulling, which isn’t very fun at all. It can hurt quite a bit.
- Multiple uses – A nose hair trimmer should be able to do other things too. It’s great if it can do one task really well, but you don’t want to have to get a dozen hair trimming devices. Pick one that can meet all your needs.
- Automatic/Manual – We won’t say which one to get because this is a matter of personal preference, but both have their benefits and drawbacks. Manual allows for a lot of control, but can be somewhat difficult to use or a bit strenuous compared to automatic trimmers.
Conclusion
The best nose hair trimmer is one that can do other things and be used in the shower. Like we said before, you want one that fits your needs. A quality trimmer will last you for years, and its blades will remain sharp for the lifetime of the device.
And keep in mind, a lot of these devices are very similar in quality, so pick one that you appreciate stylistically/aesthetically as well.
