Sterilizer Tray with Wax Residue in Salon

Amber salon light washes over a chrome piercing clamp resting inside a stainless steel sterilizer tray. Patches of yellowed wax residue rest on the metal rim, against the smooth, reflective surface. Beside the tray, a folded white towel displays visible fibers, while a sheet of paper and a clear acrylic container sit nearby. The white LED fixtures overhead cast a crisp task light that bounces off a mirror, creating soft reflections on the polished counters below. This setup sits in a beauty supply area in Puerto La Cruz during the turn of seasons, where the honeyed evening glow merges with the cool artificial illumination. A thin line of dried wax catches the edge of the tray, highlighting the texture of the metal.
