Inspection summary
Forever Nail and Spa has been inspected 4 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 16, 2023. The most recent inspection, on October 8, 2025, recorded 2 infractions.
None of the 4 inspections on record were free of infractions. 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.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
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 5 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 2, 2025. For example:
Is single-use or uncleanable equipment being used as intended (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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on October 8, 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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on October 8, 2025. For example:
Are cosmetic products appropriate for their intended use and being handled properly?
