Inspection summary

Lovely Nails has been inspected 5 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since January 8, 2025. The most recent inspection, on April 14, 2026, found no infractions.

2 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 2 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 2, 2026. For example: Is single-use or uncleanable equipment being used as intended (Critical)?

    • 13. Is single-use or uncleanable equipment being used as intended (Critical)?
      • Nail files and buffers and nail clippers and nippers were found in a couple of the manicure station drawers (that were not being used at the time of the inspection). The nail files and buffers were clearly used and had not been thrown out. This was discussed with the owner. All the used single-use items were discarded, and the reusable equipment was removed for cleaning and disinfection. All equipment that is single use (ie. foam-centered nail files and buffers) must be discarded after use on one client.
    • 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
      • 1. The disinfectant in use is PreEmpt CS-20 which is fine, however, the bottle of disinfectant in use had expired. 2. The container of PreEmpt CS-20 used to disinfect the tools was filled with disinfectant, however, when tested with inspector's test strips (as the facility does not have any), no concentration of disinfectant registered on the strip. The operator was asked to dump the container and refill with some from the jug. The new batch registered at an appropriate concentration. Please purchase a new bottle of disinfectant. Ensure that it is within its expiry dates. Ensure that the disinfectant is changed out either daily or it can be used for up to 14 days as long as daily testing with appropriate test strips is conducted and recorded.
