Inspection summary

Arlene's Salon has been inspected 2 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since January 7, 2025. The most recent inspection, on January 29, 2025, found no infractions.

1 of 2 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct infection-control risks to clients.

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.

  • 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 3 times on January 7, 2025. For example: Is reusable equipment cleaned properly (Critical)?

  • 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 January 7, 2025. For example: Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?

    • 03. Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?
      • The facility is required to fill out the written procedures templates listed below and keep them onsite for review and reference as necessary.
    • 17. Is reusable equipment cleaned properly (Critical)?
      • Electric hair clippers were observed with hair residue leftover from previous client(s). Hair clippers can be difficult to clean. Applying a disinfectant directly to soiled clippers is ineffective. A suitable cleaning practice must be employed. This could include using pressurized air or cleaning wipes to remove hair from the blades. These steps must be taken prior to any application of disinfectant.
    • 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
      • Hair clippers require the use of a low-level disinfectant at a minimum. The product currently being used "Wahl Spray on Disinfectant" does have a Drug Identification Number (DIN) but does not have any instructions for disinfection of equipment. If the label does not provide specific instructions for equipment disinfection, it cannot be assumed that the disinfectant is suitable on equipment.The use of another low-level disinfectant that provides instructions for equipment disinfection (i.e., Clippercide) is required.
    • 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
      • Prepared Barbicide was quite pale in colour. When PHI inquired, Operator stated she had put 4 capfuls into the container with water. The amount contained in 4 capfuls was measured and was found to be approximately 32 mL, when manufacturer's instructions required 62.5 mL/L. The correct amount was determined to be 8 capfuls, and the Operator adjusted the amount in the container.
