  2. Client Confidentiality: Respect the privacy and confidentiality of our clients, keeping all personal information confidential.

We use potable water for all guest-related purposes and every time water is in contact with clients’ skin (e.g., ice served for drinks or for services, wet towels, and more).

We provide disposable pouches, sterilized tools and equipment for each service, and regularly sanitize our salons following European standards. Staff always wear gloves, masks during services and wash hands frequently between. We educate our guests on hygiene and sanitation in nail salons through our Health and Hygiene Guidelines.
