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.

  • Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk

    For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 30, 2025. For example: Spa, deck and walls maintained in a sanitary condition, safe and free from hazards

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    In a personal service setting this usually means equipment that has to reach or hold a set temperature, such as a sterilizer (autoclave) or a wax heater, or a fridge for products. A sterilizer that does not reach its temperature may not kill germs on reusable tools.

    Recorded once on June 30, 2025. For example: If equipped with an automatic sensing device, total alkalinity, pH value, free available chlorine, total chlorine or bromine residual, water clarity, and water temperature are checked at least every 4 hours until the daily use period has ended

  • 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 November 18, 2025. For example: Spa, mechanical, and emergency equipment operational and maintained in a safe and sanitary condition

  • 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 June 16, 2026. For example: Daily records completed and signed

  • 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 March 11, 2026. For example: Premises is maintained free from every serious condition that may be a health hazard
