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.
Cleaning, disinfection and sterilizationHigher risk
Tools that touch clients, such as clippers, nail files, footbaths and tattoo equipment, must be cleaned and then disinfected or sterilized to the level the risk requires. Inspectors check disinfectant contact times, sterilizer test results and how clean tools are stored. Items that cannot be properly cleaned must be used only once.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 17, 2022. For example:
Premises, work surfaces, instruments are adequately sanitized/disinfected and maintained.
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 28, 2022. For example:
Operation of premises is in accordance with approved floor plans and specifications.
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 February 17, 2022. For example:
