Inspection summary

CARLINGWOOD NAIL SPA has been inspected 3 times by Ottawa Public Health since May 16, 2024. The most recent inspection, on June 15, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.

None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 6 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food source, labelling and allergens and Protecting food from contamination.

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.

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Products used on clients must come from approved sources, stay in their original labelled containers and be thrown out when they are expired or contaminated. Unlabelled products make it impossible to know what a client is being exposed to.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 15, 2026. For example: All single-use equipment is discarded immediately after use.

  • 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 once on May 16, 2024. For example: Products used are stored and dispensed in a manner that prevents contamination.

  • 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 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 15, 2026. For example: The setting and surfaces are clean and in good repair.

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Some jurisdictions require operators to complete infection-prevention training, or to hold specific qualifications for higher-risk services such as tattooing, piercing or electrolysis. These findings mean the training record was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean a client was put at risk.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 25, 2025. For example: Operator obtained the name and contact information of the person seeking the service.

  • 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 May 16, 2024. For example: Records are kept of accidental exposures to body fluids.
