5026 51 Avenue Whitecourt AB T7S 1A1 · Personal Services
Inspection summary
Curl Up & Dye Hair Design has been inspected 3 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 21, 2023. The most recent inspection, on February 20, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.
None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 1 infraction recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct infection-control risks to clients.
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.
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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 20, 2026. For example:
Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?
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 January 7, 2025. For example:
Has the operator notified the RHA of the existence of a personal service business, including contact and location information, as well as all personal services currently offered or new personal services that will be offered for facilities and/or special events?
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 once on November 21, 2023. For example:
Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
