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.
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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on April 8, 2026. For example:
Premises and/or work area maintained in a sanitary manner, appropriately located, well-lit and well-ventilated
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 March 4, 2025. For example:
Approved disinfectants are prepared and used appropriately, and records maintained
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 February 27, 2025. For example:
For non-invasive personal services, operator obtains client name and contact information
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 once on February 27, 2025. For example:
Work and contact surfaces smooth, non-absorbent and easily cleanable
Other findingsLower risk
Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
Recorded 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 27, 2025. For example:
All items that cannot be cleaned, disinfected or sterilized must be single-use disposable
