2010 11 Street SE Calgary AB T2G 3G3 · Personal Services
Inspection summary
Esme Beauty Boutique has been inspected 3 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since September 18, 2024. The most recent inspection, on May 10, 2025, found no infractions.
2 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. 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.
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 3 times on May 7, 2025. For example:
Is reusable equipment cleaned properly (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 once on May 7, 2025. 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 once on May 7, 2025. For example:
Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this personal services facility (Non-Critical)?
