Zarinah Spa Da Nang

Two Zarinah locations in Son Tra

Zarinah Spa is a Da Nang wellness business with two official locations in Son Tra. The original Zarinah Spa is at 180 Chinh Huu, An Hai, while the same website also lists Hong Tuc Spa at 16C Tran Quang Dieu, An Hai. Both addresses appear under one menu and telephone number, so customers should name the preferred branch when booking rather than assuming an appointment applies to either location.

The service concept combines mainstream massage with Vietnamese grooming and traditional practices. The current menu includes full-body, foot and back massage; hot stones; shampoo treatments; skin care; face shaving or beard trimming; foot scrub; cupping; coin scraping or gua sha; ear cleaning; grey-hair plucking and grey-coverage hair dye. The website publishes individual prices and durations for many items.

Zarinah describes these as wellness and relaxation services. It is not presented as a hospital, medical clinic, physiotherapy centre or ear, nose and throat practice. Visitors should treat claims about healing, circulation and recovery as spa marketing rather than diagnosis or guaranteed medical benefit.

Understanding the massage menu

Short foot or back massage appointments are listed for 30 and 45 minutes. Full-body treatments are offered for 60, 75, 90 or 120 minutes and include work on the feet, back, hands and head plus hot stones, according to the official menu. Ask whether oil, strong pressure or stretching is involved and whether changing or foot-soak time is included in the advertised duration.

The site says massage can be tailored to individual needs. Use that discussion to state pressure preference, injuries, areas to avoid and whether heat is comfortable. Strong pressure is not automatically more effective. A traveller with jet lag, dehydration or a recent long flight may prefer a shorter, moderate session rather than the most intensive option.

Published prices range by duration and are helpful for comparison, but confirm them before visiting. The page also states an additional VND 50,000 per person after 23:00. This surcharge suggests late appointments may be possible, yet the site does not publish formal opening or last-booking hours. A late-night visit therefore requires direct confirmation.

Readers comparing similar businesses can use Vietnam Clinic’s guides to massage in Da Nang and spas in Da Nang. These guides provide alternatives but do not replace checking the current treatment, price and branch.

Vietnamese shampoo and cosmetic care

The basic shampoo includes massage of the head, shoulders, neck, nape and back. The nourishing shampoo adds face washing, exfoliation, facial massage, a mask and massage of the arms. This makes the longer option closer to a combined hair, facial and upper-body ritual than a simple salon wash.

Ask which shampoo, exfoliant and mask will be used, especially with sensitive skin, allergies, scalp disease or prescription acne products. Mention retinoids, recent chemical peels, laser procedures, eczema, psoriasis, active infection and hair-dye reactions. A cosmetic scalp treatment cannot diagnose sudden hair loss, painful scalp lesions or infection.

The site also lists a standalone skin-care treatment, face shaving or beard trimming, foot scrub and grey-coverage dye. Request a patch test when appropriate for dye or fragranced products. Shaving should use a clean, preferably single-use blade. Grey-hair plucking changes appearance temporarily but does not treat the reason hair has lost pigment.

Cupping and coin scraping are not medical treatment

Zarinah offers cupping therapy and coin scraping, also known as gua sha or cạo gió. Cupping uses suction and commonly leaves circular discolouration; scraping deliberately creates redness or bruising-like marks. Ask the practitioner to explain pressure, expected marks, instrument hygiene and how long visible effects may last before consenting.

Avoid these services over broken, infected, sunburned or inflamed skin. Disclose blood-thinning medicine, bleeding disorders, fragile skin, severe varicose veins, poor circulation, pregnancy, fever, recent surgery and altered sensation. Do not stop prescribed medication to qualify for a spa treatment. Someone who bruises easily or has an event requiring exposed skin may prefer ordinary gentle massage.

Claims that cupping improves blood flow or supports recovery do not establish treatment for an injury or disease. New weakness, numbness, severe pain, swelling after trauma or inability to use a limb needs clinical assessment. Stop the session for sharp pain, dizziness, skin injury or feeling unwell.

Traditional ear cleaning: decide carefully

Ear cleaning is listed at a fixed price, but the website does not describe medical examination, otoscopy, practitioner qualifications or instrument sterilisation. Non-medical ear cleaning can push wax deeper or cause canal injury, infection, bleeding, dizziness, hearing change or eardrum damage. Relaxation and grooming should not be confused with treatment of ear disease.

Do not use this service for pain, discharge, sudden hearing loss, ringing with new neurological symptoms, vertigo, a foreign object, known perforation, ear tubes or recent ear surgery. A clinician or ENT service should assess those concerns. If you choose traditional cleaning, ask what will enter the canal, how instruments are disinfected, whether single-use parts are opened in front of you and whether the operator will stop immediately for discomfort.

Sharp pain, bleeding, sudden dizziness or a change in hearing is a reason to stop and seek medical advice. Vietnam Clinic’s Da Nang ear-cleaning guide explains how traditional services differ from medical wax removal and can help visitors compare options.

Booking, branch choice and late appointments

The official contact number is +84 977 189 129. The website presents a booking section and links to social channels, but it does not publish an email address. When messaging, state the exact service, duration, number of guests and either 180 Chinh Huu or 16C Tran Quang Dieu. Ask for a written confirmation with the total price.

No official opening hours are displayed on the current site. The previously stored 10:00–00:00 timetable came from Google data and has been removed. The after-23:00 surcharge does not prove that either branch opens until a particular time every day. Confirm the last available start time and whether the selected branch accepts late bookings.

The complete official site is in English and clearly addresses international visitors, so English is recorded as a customer-facing language. This does not guarantee equal fluency for every therapist. If health history, pregnancy, allergies or treatment boundaries need detailed discussion, confirm that an English-speaking member of staff will be available.

Prices, surcharges and payment

The current menu displays prices in Vietnamese dong. At the time reviewed, special treatments ranged from basic shampoo and grooming services to more involved skin or hair treatments, while massage prices increased with duration. The website can change these figures, so use them as a reference and reconfirm before arrival.

Ask whether the after-23:00 charge applies to a treatment that starts before but finishes after 23:00. Confirm whether tax, tip, transport, food or add-ons are included. The site does not identify accepted cards, digital wallets or cash requirements, so no payment method is stored in this profile. Bring an alternative option until the branch confirms.

For group bookings, request the number of therapists available and whether treatments will happen simultaneously. Do not assume an online or social-media message has reserved space until the spa replies. If a deposit is requested, verify the recipient, cancellation terms and branch before transferring money.

Health information and personal boundaries

Tell staff about pregnancy, recent surgery, fractures, osteoporosis, clot risk, cancer treatment, fever, infection, uncontrolled blood pressure, blood-thinning medication, neuropathy and significant skin disease before massage, hot stones, cupping or scraping. Heat may be unsafe when temperature sensation or circulation is impaired.

Massage is not appropriate for every symptom. Seek urgent medical care for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, sudden one-sided weakness, an acutely swollen calf or a major injury. A spa should not delay evaluation of warning signs.

Consent is specific to each service. Agree in advance on clothing, draping, body areas, pressure, heat and any grooming step. A customer can decline ear cleaning, scraping, shaving or another add-on without abandoning the entire appointment. Stop if touch crosses a boundary or the explanation does not match the service being performed.

Facilities and details that remain unverified

The official website confirms two physical addresses, a shared phone number, a menu, prices and booking links. It does not confirm parking, wheelchair access, restrooms, online scheduling technology, child policies, crowd-related labels, skincare facilities or card/NFC payment even though these appeared in imported Google attributes. Those attributes have been cleared.

Ask the chosen branch about stairs, treatment-room privacy, showers, lockers, luggage storage, motorbike parking and accessibility before visiting. The two locations may not have identical layouts or staffing. A service listed on the shared website may also need advance notice at one branch.

Verified services include full-body, foot and back massage; hot-stone massage; basic and nourishing Vietnamese shampoo treatments; head, neck, shoulder and arm massage; facial cleansing, exfoliation, massage and mask; skin care; face shaving and beard trimming; foot scrub; cupping; coin scraping or gua sha; traditional ear cleaning; grey-hair plucking; and grey-coverage hair dye.

No healthcare, physiotherapy, home-visit, teleconsultation or insurance-billing service is advertised. The menu is shared across the two Son Tra locations, so patients should confirm the exact service, staff member, address and time before setting out.
