Nipping isn't acceptable at that age but I don't think that the dog is out of control. My Yorkie lets me cut her hair but when she needs to be restrained (at the vets) she is a wiggle worm (well that's what the vet says). She pulls ahead on a leash too. I should probably mention that Ellie is six YEARS old. I would say just replace the hand that she nips at with a toy.
