Inspection summary

Elysian Nails has been inspected 4 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since April 10, 2024. The most recent inspection, on July 20, 2026, found no infractions.

1 of 4 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 17 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct infection-control risks to clients.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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.

  • 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 14 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 14, 2026. For example: Is single-use or uncleanable equipment being used as intended (Critical)?

  • 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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on July 15, 2026. For example: Is the facility properly constructed and maintained to allow for the safe and sanitary provision of personal services (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 14, 2026. For example: Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?

  • 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 8 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 14, 2026. For example: Are waste sharps disposed of properly?

Tools must be disinfected by soaking in Preempt CS20 for at least 20 minutes, and an appropriate surface disinfectant must be used for disinfection of pedicure baths and fans.(1) PREempt CS20 was being used for the pedicure basins.

  4. Initial Inspection

    12 infractions

    • 03. Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?
      • (1) The written procedures templates had been printed by the operator but had not been fully completed. Require the following: (a) Written Procedure for Cleansing Skin (for manicures, pedicures, waxing, lash tinting and lash extensions)(b) Written Procedure for Accidental Skin Cuts or Punctures (c) Written Procedure for Handwashing and Equipment Reprocessing Sink Decontamination
    • 10. Is cleansing and antisepsis of skin and mucous membrane performed in accordance to written procedures and are suitable products being used?

    • 14. Is single-use or uncleanable equipment being used as intended (Non-Critical)?
