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 once on June 11, 2026. For example: Designated handwashing sink is conveniently located, with required items provided in close proximity

• 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 June 11, 2026. For example: All products used are stored and dispensed in a manner which prevents contamination

• 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 once on June 11, 2026. For example: Operator collects client information before providing a personal service

• 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 June 11, 2026. For example: Sink used for reprocessing reusable equipment is sized appropriately, supplied with potable hot and cold water under pressure, and not located in a room with a toilet

• 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 June 11, 2026. For example: Disinfectants on site are approved for use, and are used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions
