What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for clients. In personal service settings like salons, spas and tattoo studios, higher-risk findings are the ones that could spread infection from one client to the next, through broken skin, blood or instruments that were not properly cleaned and sterilized.

• Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

  Clean and used instruments, towels and supplies must be kept apart, and products such as wax, creams and inks must be dispensed so they cannot be contaminated between clients (no double-dipping). Mixing clean and dirty items is a direct route for infection.

  Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 24, 2026. For example: Sink used reprocessing reusable equipment has adequate counterspace and located so as to prevent contamination in areas where services are provided

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  The premises needs a working hand sink, a separate sink for cleaning instruments where required, cleanable surfaces, and good lighting and ventilation. Upkeep problems are usually lower risk on their own, but they make thorough cleaning harder.

  Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 24, 2026. For example: Floors, walls, ceilings, fixtures and furniture in good repair, easily cleanable, of a smooth and impermeable material and maintained in a sanitary condition

• Permits, records and postingLower risk

  Operating permits, client records, sterilization logs and required signage. Client records matter because they let health officials contact people if an infection is linked to the business.

  Recorded once on September 21, 2026. For example: Records regarding sterilization, disinfection, invasive procedures, and accidental exposures are kept as required, if applicable

• Equipment and utensilsLower risk

  Instruments, chairs, tables and footbaths must be made of materials that can be cleaned, kept in good repair and stored so they stay clean. Single-use items such as nail files, buffers, razors and needles must be thrown away after each client.

  Recorded once on September 14, 2026. For example: All reusable equipment is cleaned and disinfected or sterilized as required

• Other findingsLower risk

  Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

  Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 21, 2026. For example: Notice of intention to operate a personal service setting, provide additional services or undertake renovations submitted to the health unit
