In a turn-up method for a reel-up for reeling of fiber webs, a web travelling in direction (S) is cut by two water jet nozzles moving in a transverse direction in relation to the web travelling direction (S). Two cuts (C, C) are formed by two water jet nozzles starting from the edges of the web (W) and moving to the web center where the cuts (C, C) cross or meet forming a V-shaped tail end (V). After the cuts the movement of the water jet nozzles is stopped and after the return movement of the water jet nozzles, cutting is started again from the center toward the edges so that the web W is cut by two cuts (C, C) and a substantially V-shaped beginning end (V) to the web W is formed and between the cuts (C, C) for the tail end (V) and the cuts (C, C) for the beginning end (V) there is formed one web reject part (R) with two substantially V-shaped cuts. A turn-up device for a reel-up for reeling of fiber webs has two water jet nozzles, in which the cutting by the water jet nozzles () may be stopped between cutting of a tail end (V) and cutting of a beginning end (V) for a selected time for forming only, wherein there is one reject part (R) in the turn-up and the cross-direction travel distance (L, L) of each nozzle is substantially shorter than the width (L) of the web (W).
