This cosmetic facility is called ST Diamond Comprehensive Cosmetic Institute. In addition to being administratively fined, Ms. Thao was also required to close this illegal cosmetic facility.
According to Ms. Ho Thi Hoa, recently an interdisciplinary team including medical forces, police and Truong Thi ward authorities ambushed and caught two employees of this cosmetic facility directly cutting eyelids for customers.
"We received complaints from people saying that this facility has been operating illegally for the past 6 months. But it was only today that we caught it red-handed. Because this facility has cameras and security guards, strangers can easily be detected. To deceive the authorities and local authorities, this beauty facility does not have a sign," said Ms. Hoa.

According to the reporter, on the afternoon of November 28, this beauty salon was closed. According to the people living next door, the owner of the beauty salon only occasionally puts up a sign advertising the beauty salon in front of the building. However, the number of customers coming to use the service is still very large.
To attract customers, this beauty salon advertises heavily on social networks. On the Zalo account, which is said to belong to the owner of the beauty salon, they regularly post about beauty activities for customers. In addition, on the Facebook page named "ST Diamond Beauty Salon", they also regularly advertise services and discounts.
However, these advertisements only state the address as "facility in Vinh City" and leave a contact phone number without a specific address to avoid being checked and processed. When customers need to call and consult about the service, the staff will guide them to the facility's address on Tran Thu Do Street to perform the cosmetic surgery.
