Freckle Face has been inspected 2 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since June 13, 2025. The most recent inspection, on June 24, 2025, found no infractions.

1 of 2 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Hand hygiene and infection control.

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 13, 2025. For example: Is hand hygiene performed by the personal services worker when required, in a proper manner and are provisions available to perform hand hygiene?

  • 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 13, 2025. For example: Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?

  • 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 once on June 13, 2025. For example: Is the facility properly constructed and maintained to allow for the safe and sanitary provision of personal services (Critical)?

  • 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 13, 2025. For example: Are cosmetic products appropriate for their intended use and being handled properly?

    • 08. Is hand hygiene performed by the personal services worker when required, in a proper manner and are provisions available to perform hand hygiene?
      • Hand sanitizer expired in 2020. The hand sanitizer should not be expired as the alcohol content can decrease over time and may render it ineffective. Please obtain a new hand sanitizer and regularly check the expiration date.
    • 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
      • No test strips available for the high-level disinfectant. The operator is reusing the high-level disinfectant for more than a day. Test strips must be used to test the concentration of the high-level disinfectant if planning to reuse the solution up to 14 days as indicated on the manufacturer's instructions. Please obtain appropriate test strips for the high-level disinfectant.
    • 26. Are cosmetic products appropriate for their intended use and being handled properly?
      • There is hair in the brow cream/paste. Cosmetic supplies must be portioned in a manner that protects the bulk supply from contamination. Use a single use disposable or clean tool to portion the cosmetic supply. Do not reuse it to portion as this can contaminate the bulk supply.
    • 28. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained to allow for the safe and sanitary provision of personal services (Critical)?
      • The sink is not permanently plumbed into the facility. Observed a mobile sink with a potable water tank and a grey water tank. The tank was leaking at the time of the inspection. The sink must be properly plumbed in to supply cold and hot running water. A mobile sink is not permitted for services that use semi-critical equipment. The operator scheduled a plumber to install a permanent sink in the back area of the facility.
