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 April 23, 2025. For example:
Proper hand hygiene performed prior to service delivery, as required during and after service, and for reprocessing
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 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 23, 2026. For example:
Approved disinfectants are prepared and used appropriately, and records maintained
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 23, 2026. For example:
All reusable items and/or equipment cleaned and then disinfected or sterilized, as applicable
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 once on April 23, 2025. For example:
Approved sharps container provided and sharps/sharps container disposed in appropriate manner
