Sprouting nose hair is a common yet frustrating occurrence. Unfortunately, painful plucking or risky scissors are the basic ways to rid yourself of it. Have no fear; the best nose hair trimmers are built specifically to remove these pesky hairs safely and effectively. I've been testing and reviewing grooming products for years and can safely say that our favorite nose hair trimmer, the Philips Norelco Multigroom 5000, has it all. It's waterproof and has a rechargeable design that quickly cleans up any unwanted hair.
We've tested and researched the best nose hair trimmers, from simple-to-use manual versions to electric razors with many other features to tackle the rest of your body hair, and some that even have built-in vacuums to whisk the hair away. We tested each of these nose hair trimmers multiple times to evaluate their effectiveness, gentleness, and multi-functionality. These represent the safest options for removing unwanted hair in hard-to-reach places without pain and for easy cleanup.
Our top 3 picks for the best nose hair trimmers:
The Philips Norelco Multigroom 5000 is like a Swiss army knife for your body hair in one compact package.
The ConairMan Nose Hair Trimmer does a great job with not just nose hair but the rest of your face as well, letting you trim and shape your sideburns, mustache, or beard.
The Panasonic GN70-K is fast and has a built-in vacuum for easy cleanup.
The Philips Norelco Multigroom 5000 is like a Swiss army knife for your body hair in one compact package.
The Philips Norelco Multigroom 5000 is the go-to product for hair removal from your head to your toes. Considering the number of uses, the Multigroom 5000 performs them all really well. It cut through my beard with ease, and then when I switched to the nose/ear hair attachment, it quickly knocked out that job as well. The process was straightforward and painless.
The Multigroom 5000 is rechargeable and will give you three hours of power on a single charge. While it's not as quiet as some selections in this roundup, its versatility and power make up for that small shortcoming. It's simple to operate even with many attachments (the nose hair blade, three other blades, and more than a dozen trimming guards). Pro tip: keep the directions handy so you can navigate the various tools with the clippers.
The ConairMan Nose Hair Trimmer does a great job with not just nose hair but the rest of your face as well, letting you trim and shape your sideburns, mustache, or beard.
The ConairMan has a 360-degree beveled blade to quickly and evenly cut through even very abundant nose and ear hair. It provides 60 minutes of continual use, which should give plenty of clipping sessions. Besides your nose and ears, you can use the ConairMan to clean up the rest of your face, from trimming and shaping sideburns, mustache, or beard to making sure your brows don't give off Neanderthal vibes. Downsides include not being rechargeable and it is a bit loud, but it makes up for this by being fast, lightweight, and multifunctional.
The Panasonic GN70-K is fast and has a built-in vacuum for easy cleanup.
The Panasonic GN70-K has a high-velocity motor to take on thick, coarse hair at a fast clip (pun intended) and a built-in vacuum for easy cleanup. It also has an ergonomic design so you can more easily reach the nooks and crannies of your nose and ears. The trimmer is battery-operated, giving it a 40-minute run time for multiple uses. If you like to multitask, you can use the trimmer in the shower.
The Ginity Ear and Nose Hair Trimmer has multiple uses, is rechargeable, and is a great choice for the budget-conscious.
The Ginity trimmer comes with a lot of benefits at a budget price. It's a four-in-one grooming kit to trim your nose hairs and switch to the attachments for your eyebrows, sideburns, or facial hair. The trimmer is partially waterproof (the metal tip blades are, but the plastic body is not). It's compact for travel, quiet, and rechargeable (with a USB cable).
For all you Luddites out there, the Royal Manual Gold Nose Trimmer doesn't use electricity and still cuts through the toughest hairs with ease thanks to its 12 dual-edged blades.
The Royal Manual Gold is the way to go if you're looking for a compact, non-electric nose-hair clipper. With 12 dual-edged blades, it effortlessly cuts through the toughest hairs painlessly. Plus, you don't have to worry about charging it or changing batteries. It easily disassembles, so you can clean it with little effort, and it's super compact for travel. On the minus end of the scale, because it's manual, it's slower to get the job done than any of the electric models in this roundup, and it doesn't do as well with ear hair as the electric models.
The Manscaped Weed Whacker is smooth, quiet, and fast.
You're probably more familiar with Manscaped for their Lawn Mower 4.0, which removes hair below the belt, but the company also makes the Weed Whacker's for nose and ear hair. The key takeaways from testing it out were how quiet it was while smoothly and quickly removing nose and ear hair. It's fast, efficient, and completely painless. It's rechargeable, easy to clean, and simple to operate.
The company also offers a bundle called the Performance Package 5.0, which includes the Weed Whacker and Lawn Mower, along with a couple of other products. This package will cover your body hair removal needs from nose to nether region.
The Liberex Nose Hair Trimmer has an LED light, stainless steel cutter head, and is extremely quiet.
The Liberex Electronic Nose Hair Trimmer features an LED light to help you clearly see the hair you're removing. Besides the helpful illumination, the trimmer is extremely quiet and has a removable stainless steel dual-blade head for easy cleaning. The Liberex is also easy to use thanks to its one-button control. It's not rechargeable, but according to the company, one AA battery can provide enough juice for six months if used in five-minute increments (a typical amount of time needed to take care of nose and ear hair).
