Inspection summary

HAWKESBURY NAILS has been inspected 9 times by Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) since September 15, 2025. The most recent inspection, on July 29, 2026, found no infractions.

2 of 9 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 7 inspections with 35 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food source, labelling and allergens, Hand hygiene and infection control and Protecting food from contamination.

The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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.

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Products used on clients must come from approved sources, stay in their original labelled containers and be thrown out when they are expired or contaminated. Unlabelled products make it impossible to know what a client is being exposed to.

    Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2026. For example: Single use equipment is discarded immediately after use.

  • 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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 18, 2026. For example: The setting is equipped with a hand wash sink.

  • 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 March 12, 2026. For example: Products used are stored and dispensed in a manner that prevents contamination.

  • 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 5 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2026. For example: Equipment is maintained in good sanitary condition and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

  • 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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2026. For example: Disinfection records are kept.
