Hygiene
Single-use items such as nail files and buffers are opened fresh in front of the client; metal tools are cleaned between clients. Below is the full routine, and what to look for at any salon in Da Nang.
Hygiene is the first thing many visitors worry about in a new country, and it is hard to judge from a photo or a review. So we keep it simple and visible: you do not have to take our word for it, because the new files and buffers are opened in front of you.
What we do
- Single-use items are opened fresh in front of you at the start of every appointment.
- Nail files and buffers are new for each client and never reused.
- Metal tools, such as cuticle nippers and pushers, are reused and cleaned between every client.
- Removal of old gel, extensions and lashes is always done by a technician, never by peeling or pulling.
What to look for at any salon
- Single-use items are opened from new packaging in front of you, and metal tools come out clean, not from a tray of used ones.
- Nail files and buffers are new, not worn or dusty from earlier clients.
- The chair, work surface and headrest look freshly cleaned before you sit down.
- The technician cleans their hands before starting.
- The salon answers hygiene questions calmly and directly, without getting defensive.
