Inspection summary
Country Nails has been inspected 3 times by Peterborough Public Health (now part of Lakelands Public Health) since November 12, 2025. The most recent inspection, on March 2, 2026, found no infractions.
1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 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 January 23, 2026. For example:
Equipment and instruments that are designed for a single use or made of a material that does not withstand cleaning and disinfection or sterilization are discarded immediately after they are used
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 January 23, 2026. For example:
Multiple use non-critical and semi-critical equipment/instruments are cleaned and disinfected after each client and as often as necessary to maintain in a sanitary manner
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 January 23, 2026. For example:
Floors, walls, ceilings and furniture in the work area(s) are in good repair, easily cleanable and of smooth and impermeable materials and maintained in a sanitary condition.
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 once on January 23, 2026. For example:
Compliance with reprocessing sinks requirements.
