Besides, these rules, a salon in Dubai has come up with a unique way to ensure safety of customers. Having a facial while sitting under a large plastic box might be the new normal when you visit Dubai’s Tips & Toes. The salon has started using hygiene beauty boxes” to minimize contact with customer and increase hygiene. The transparent boxes have openings through which therapists can apply face packs, and do eyelash extensions. This helps maintain a physical barrier between the therapist and the customer.

The salon came up with this innovative way to help customers feel safe while undergoing any treatment in their salon. The hygiene boxes are custom-made and ordered internationally. However, it is not mandatory for all customers to opt for this service. The usage of the box is optional and customers who wish to undergo treatments without the box, can do so.
