The tips are not thin enough and not sharp enough. Maybe they also don’t fit together well enough - ? Not sure but almost impossible to grab a hair with these. Very frustrating. I know they used to be better. I’ve had more than one pair over the past few years. You need to do better Regine. Customers need a good tweezer company to depend on. There’s little out there. You charge a steep price for tweezers so it should be a quality product. Unfortunately I have returned these.
