Inspection summary

Kurves Brow Bar has been inspected 5 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since July 18, 2024. The most recent inspection, on April 15, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.

1 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 4 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct infection-control risks to clients.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 15, 2026. For example: Is reusable equipment handled and stored properly (Critical)?

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on April 15, 2026. For example: Is the facility properly constructed and maintained to allow for the safe and sanitary provision of personal services (Critical)?

  • 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 April 15, 2026. For example: Do operators and personal services workers comply with the Personal Services Regulation and Standards and do they have the skills and knowledge to perform their duties in a safe and sanitary manner?
