Inspection summary

CARYL BAKER VISAGE has been inspected 3 times by Ottawa Public Health since February 27, 2024. The most recent inspection, on March 26, 2026, recorded 14 infractions.

2 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 14 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Hand hygiene and infection control and Food source, labelling and allergens.

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.

  • Hand hygiene and infection controlHigher risk

    Infection control is the core of a personal service inspection. Inspectors check that operators clean their hands and change gloves between clients, that a stocked hand sink is available, and that anything that breaks the skin is handled so blood-borne infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV cannot pass from one client to the next.

    Recorded 2 times on March 26, 2026. For example: Hand washing sink is accessible, appropriately supplied, and only used for hand washing purposes.

  • 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 on March 26, 2026. For example: All single-use disposable covers that are applied to reusable equipment are discarded after each use.

  • 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 5 times on March 26, 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 on March 26, 2026. For example: Operator obtains the name and contact information of any person seeking a 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 2 times on March 26, 2026. For example: Every operator shall keep records as required.
