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.
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 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on October 7, 2026. For example:
Ensure the floors, walls, ceilings, fixtures, and furniture of the setting are maintained in good repair, easily cleanable, of smooth and impermeable material, and maintained in a sanitary condition (O.Reg. 136/18; Sec. 8(1)(2).
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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 7, 2026. For example:
Ensure all reusable equipment is cleaned and disinfected or sterilized as often as necessary to prevent disease transmission (O.Reg. 136/18; Sec.10(4)).
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 March 30, 2026. For example:
Every operator must provide notice to the medical officer of health within 14 days of his or her plans to operate a personal service setting (O.Reg. 136/18; Sec. 3 (1-6)).
