Sustainability

Our commitment to the planet

Beauty and wellness also mean caring for our surroundings. At aManos we believe that caring for people means caring for the planet, and we see it as an essential part of how we work, not a one-off action.

  • 3,170 Lof water saved in 2024 and 2025

From the very beginning we have worked to build a responsible business, where the quality of our services, the wellbeing of our team, our clients' satisfaction and respect for the environment are part of one way of understanding beauty.

We know every small gesture counts. That is why we review our processes, introduce improvements and look for alternatives that reduce our impact without giving up the excellence of our treatments.

Water

A more water-responsible kind of beauty

Water is an essential resource and using it responsibly is one of our main lines of action. One of our most important measures has been introducing the waterless pedicure, a technique that delivers a professional, careful service with far less water than the traditional method.

  • A conventional service uses around 1.5 litres; ours uses only about 0.4 litres for the final rinse.
  • That is roughly 73% less water per pedicure.
  • In 2024 and 2025 we saved around 3,170 litres.
  • We installed a refillable water fountain: the team refills their bottles every day and clients can refill theirs during their visit.

How we work every day

Small decisions that add up

Products chosen with care

Beauty should not come at the expense of people, animals or the environment. Whenever possible we prioritise organic, eco and cruelty-free certified, pH-neutral, acetone-free products, with organic moisturising cream included in every service.

We also favour a healthy-nail approach: we adapt the technique to each nail and avoid needlessly harsh procedures.

Energy and equipment

We use low-energy LED lighting and latest-generation UV lamps that recognise the nail and adjust the light intensity, protecting the skin and optimising the service.

We keep reviewing our consumption habits to find new ways to improve.

Less paper, more digital

We manage appointments through a digital platform, issue receipts and tickets electronically (we only print one if the client asks) and talk to our clients through digital channels, cutting unnecessary printing and paperwork.

Hygiene that also cares

We use a new file for every client and disposable materials, with our own biosafety protocols that protect your health and reduce risks.

Local business

We are an active part of Candelaria. Whenever possible we work with local suppliers and businesses, and take part in local trade initiatives.

People first

A business cannot be truly responsible if it doesn't look after the people who make it possible. We work in an environment of respect, equality and collaboration, with job stability, ongoing training and a warm approach to every client.

Sustainable Development Goals

Aligned with the 2030 Agenda

SDG 6

Clean water and sanitation

More efficient water use through procedures that reduce consumption, especially the waterless pedicure.

SDG 12

Responsible consumption and production

Responsible product selection, less paper and waste, digitalised processes and optimised resources.

Recognised quality

A commitment that keeps evolving

Since 2022, aManos has been part of the Integrated Tourism Quality System in Destinations (SICTED), a process of assessment and continuous improvement. In 2026 we renewed the seal for the third consecutive year.

We know there is still a lot to do. Sustainability is a path of continuous improvement and we will keep adding measures to reduce our impact, look after people and contribute to our surroundings.

Because at aManos we believe real beauty is also in the way we do things.
