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.

  • 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 25, 2026. For example: The setting is kept in a clean and sanitary manner.

  • 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 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 25, 2026. For example: Appropriate use of single-use equipment/instruments.

  • 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 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 25, 2026. For example: Approved disinfectants are provided and used appropriately.
