LA CRYSTAL NAILS & SPA has been inspected 3 times by Ottawa Public Health since April 24, 2024. The most recent inspection, on August 5, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.
None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. 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 December 2, 2025. For example:
Every operator of a personal service setting in which reusable equipment is used shall ensure that the personal service setting has at least one sink, that is not the hand wash sink, for reprocessing.
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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 5, 2026. For example:
Reprocessing sink is available and used only for reprocessing reusable equipment.
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 2 times on April 24, 2024. For example:
Disinfection records are kept.
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 April 24, 2024. For example:
Operator provided written notice of reconstruction or renovation.
