Hands & Feet

“THE HAND IS THE TOOL OF THE TOOLS”, SAID ARISTOTLE, AND TRULY, OUR HANDS ARE SOME OF THE MOST USEFUL, EXPRESSIVE, AS WELL AS EXPOSED PARTS OF OUR BODY.

“The hand is the tool of the tools”, said Aristotle and, truly, our hands are some of the most useful, expressive, as well as exposed parts of our body. At DON, we respectfully disagree with the cliché that women notice a man’s shoes first; we firmly believe that women (and men) give equal importance to clean and presentable hands.

Well-groomed hands and spotless, nicely shaped nails welcome human touch and are a sign of thoughtfulness and respect for ourselves and others. Manicure, then, from the Latin words “manus” (“hand”) and “cura”, which means care, as well as treatment. Manicure, a necessary habit, is the upkeep of nails and cuticles for aesthetic purposes, as well as reasons relating to health and hygiene, since our cuticles constitute a barrier of protection against infections. Regular manicures additionally help stop the annoying, unappealing onychophagia (nail biting), the most common human nervous habit.

The care afforded to our precious hand must also be given to our feet. 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments: this complex system comprises the human foot, and, despite its extremely important role in the life of humans, we forget to take care of it as much as we do other body parts.

We associate pedicures with summer, flip-flops and running around barefoot. Yet they are an essential tool for the good health and wellbeing of our precious feet, all year round. Let’s consider how claustrophobic the winter life of our feet is: shoes, socks, comforters, sports, sweat. Pedicures are therapeutic: they prevent and correct bad odors and various other problems such as calluses, sclerosis, nail deformities, ailments and fungal infections.

At DON we offer 45-minute, holistic treatments for the care of hands, feet, skin and nails. In an exclusive collaboration with ELEMIS, the innovative luxury British skin care brand, we have created the DON manicure/pedicure services. State-of-the-art formulas and powerful biological ingredients show immediate effects, while our skilled professional team will provide you with simple tips after the treatment. Every pedicure at DON ends with a foot massage, for a wonderful sense of relaxation and euphoria.
