What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

    Recorded once on September 15, 2022. For example: 6 Are the foods from approved sources and has the operator taken steps to ensure that the food is safe for consumption?

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on September 15, 2022. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on August 28, 2019. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

    Unfortunately I will not be going back. I have no idea how the same gal could cut my long hair so beautifully once and the next time, horribly bad. I have a large chunk of hair cut shorter than any pieces around it and it's in the front to boot. Yet not following the angle of the rest of my hair. It's a random short chunk off my temple area. So not much I can do now besides pay to fix it and lose length. this stylist knew keeping my hair long was my agenda. She also cut my hair fully dry, then didn't show me the finished product in the mirror. Curled my hair even after I said I prefer using no heat. Now I know she probably curled it to cover the mistake she made. Needless to say, I'm pretty upset and this is over a week later. Do not recommend Lulu.

    Went to have highlights was quoted awhile back it would be around $140.00 After all said and done it cost $231.00 She did do a beautiful job. But definitely for the length of my hair i would have never paid that price somewhere else.

    I went here - giving them a chance as i moved here a year ago and needed a new hair dresser. Now I'm rating two categories and based on this they have 3 stars. The colour turned out nice - even though its more than I had asked for, i only wanted a couple foils. I am happy with it. Cut however - Lulu does not have a knowledge of how to cut layers or short hair properly. I kept explaining it was too blunt and needed to be thinned out and more layers. She just kept thinning the ends and my hair kept getting shorter, without producing any layers through the rest of my hair. I had to stop her from going further as she was clearly did not have the skill set to manage my hair. I showed her a picture of how my hair was before when it was short and the layers and how I wanted it. It was my hair which clearly means my hair is capable of being cut the way I was asking for. I left crying and now have to find someone to fix it. Thankfully she knew i was upset and did not charge for the cut.

    We were in town for a wedding, and desperately searching for last minute hair appointments for my son and niece. Hair Friends was the third place I tried, and they were able to squeeze us in. That was wonderful on its own, but what truly made them stand out was the two stylists who handled our appointments. They were amazingly welcoming, friendly, and did a fantastic job on the kids’ hair. Out of all the salons I have been to over the years, this experience ranks in the top 5, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
