Sorbet Carlswald Contact Details

Ask how instruments are sterilised before any treatment that can break the skin. Nail and cuticle tools, waxing spatulas and blades transmit infection when reused without proper sterilisation, and outbreaks traced to salons are well documented.

What to look for

A clean-looking salon and a hygienic one are not the same thing.

• Single-use items should be opened in front of you, and files and buffers that cannot be sterilised should not be reused between clients.
• Ask whether metal instruments are autoclaved, not merely wiped or soaked.
• Wax should never be double-dipped with a used spatula back into the pot.
• Do not shave or exfoliate immediately before waxing, and say if you use retinoids or acne medication, which make skin tear.

Treatments that carry more risk than expected

Ask for a patch test before any tint or chemical treatment, and be cautious with anything involving needles or injectables, which fall into medical practice and require a registered practitioner.

Signs of infection after a treatment need medical attention: spreading redness, heat, pus or fever. Report hygiene concerns to the municipal environmental health department, which inspects premises. Midrand is on the 011 code. Verified 26 August 2026.
