Prove your hygiene.
Your clients check it in one scan.
Verified Place by SMINORA® is a trust status granted by an independent party — never self-declared. A QR code at your station shows clients, live, that your workplace meets the standard.
The problem
Clients trust you. They just have no way to check.
Invisible
Tool sterilisation happens out of the client's sight.
Missing from reviews
Star ratings talk about results and welcome, rarely about hygiene.
Impossible to prove
Careful professionals have nothing concrete to stand out with.
How it works
Three steps. SMINORA verifies — you never certify yourself.
- 1
You declare
From your personal space, log your protocol: preparation date and method used. Two minutes.
- 2
SMINORA verifies
Our team reviews your declaration and grants your status and proof level.
- 3
Clients scan
The QR code at your station opens your public record — always up to date.
Why it's different
Not a certificate on the wall. A proof that stays current.
| Paper certificate | Verified Place | |
|---|---|---|
| Checked again | Rarely, once issued | At every new declaration, by SMINORA |
| Freshness | Valid for years, whatever happens | Reflects your latest verified declaration |
| Client access | Must ask to see it | One scan, no app needed |
| Visibility | Stays in your salon | On the public SMINORA network map |
Proof levels
Start simple. Level up when you're ready.
Every record shows its proof level, so clients know exactly how much has been checked.
Who it's for
Every profession where hygiene is part of the service — anywhere in Europe.
A pan-European standard. The pilot starts in France and is open to professionals across Europe.
Founding offer
Free until 31 December 2027. A preferential rate after that.
- Preferential rate once the free period ends.
- No commitment. Leave whenever you want, at no cost.
- Your listing stays on the map of the network.

Questions
Who grants my status?
The SMINORA team. You declare your protocol; your status and proof level are granted by SMINORA. Nobody can certify themselves.
What happens if my status changes?
Your record shows the new status. You update your declaration from your personal space, and SMINORA reviews it again.
What information is public?
Your business name, city, profession, declared method, status, proof level and the date of your last declaration. Your phone, email and notes stay private.
How soon is my record live?
As soon as SMINORA has reviewed your first complete declaration.
What happens after 2027?
The first 100 professionals keep a preferential rate. You are free to continue or leave at no cost, and your listing stays on the network map.
I'm not in France. Can I join?
Yes. SMINORA is a pan-European standard; apply and we'll get back to you.
