Inspection summary

Good Nails & Spa has been inspected 5 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since June 24, 2024. The most recent inspection, on August 7, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

None of the 5 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 16 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Hand hygiene and infection control.

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.

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 7, 2026. 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 10 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 24, 2026. 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 7, 2026. For example: Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Some jurisdictions require operators to complete infection-prevention training, or to hold specific qualifications for higher-risk services such as tattooing, piercing or electrolysis. These findings mean the training record was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean a client was put at risk.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 24, 2026. For example: Has the operator notified the RHA of the existence of a personal service business, including contact and location information, as well as all personal services currently offered or new personal services that will be offered for facilities and/or special events?

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 25, 2025. For example: Is the facility properly constructed and maintained to allow for the safe and sanitary provision of personal services (Non-Critical)?
