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 once on August 25, 2026. For example:
Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 10, 2026. For example:
Are sinks accessible and used appropriately for the personal services provided?

- Reusable cheek retractors were used for teeth whitening. Operator stated that retractors are reprocessed and sterilized offsite, so inspector was unable to assess cleaning and sterilization process at time of inspection. Sterilization process must be assessed prior to operation. Cheek retractors are considered semi-critical and can be disinfected with a high-level disinfectant.
- 31. Are sinks accessible and used appropriately for the personal services provided?
- 1. The grey water tank was not fully enclosed. There was a gap around pipe entering tank.2. The hot water tank was not fully enclosed and was not plumbed in to draw from freshwater tank but had to be filled manually. 3. The freshwater tank was missing a cap. Ensure system is plumbed together and fully enclosed so that water does not leak during transport and so that hot water tank does not require separate manual filling.
