Once tuned to pitch I cut to within 5mm or so of the tuner post and then curl the sharp end over (with small round nosed pliers) to avoid spikey moments.
In about 1964 I saw a picture of George Harrison playing a guitar with the excess string lengths neatly curled into small circles. Thinking how cool it looked I tried that for a while, well, maybe a couple of string changes anyway - hard work!
