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 across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 20, 2026. For example:
Did operator provide all required supplies at the designated hand washing sink?
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 across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 20, 2026. For example:
Did operator keep records related to accidental exposures to blood or body fluids?
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 once on May 20, 2026. For example:
Did operator provide notice of intention, operation, additional services, and construction?
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 March 24, 2025. For example:
Does the designated sink for reusable equipment meet all requirements?
