Is there anywhere in Taipei (maybe in Ximending) where you can buy nasal hair trimmers?
Some Watsons sell them.
A couple of the men in my life just use those little tiny scissors with a curved tip that i believe are generally used for manicures. Maybe not as fast but they get the job done, so if you can’t find what you’re looking for you can always try that.
I’ve seen “multi-tool” grooming kits in Costco: I believe they included nasal hair trimmer attachments.
I can’t currently find it in the Taiwan Costco site, nor do I recall seeing it recently in the warehouse - maybe it’s this one:

I used to have one of those trimmers in the US, but since moving to Taiwan, the barber includes that service in the haircut.
But maybe the OP is a woman so doesn’t go to a barber. My apologies if that’s that case.
In Turkey they use a Zipo!

What? Stuff that has been up other people’s nose?
The barber I currently go to sterilizes everything between customers, unlike the obasan I went to for years. I chalked it up to “the Taiwan experience.”
Fun fact: in ancient Greece women used a similar method for pubic topiary. Candles rather than gas lighters, obviously.
In answer to the OPs question: scissors, unless you have an vast growth of nose hair that genuinely needs the electric brushcutter treatment.
