Inspection summary

MK Nails has been inspected 8 times by North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit since June 14, 2024. The most recent inspection, on June 23, 2026, found no infractions.

3 of 8 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 6 inspections with 14 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food source, labelling and allergens.

The last 3 inspections in a row found no infractions. 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.

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Products used on clients must come from approved sources, stay in their original labelled containers and be thrown out when they are expired or contaminated. Unlabelled products make it impossible to know what a client is being exposed to.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 24, 2026. For example: Reusable items that are not cleaned immediately after each use to be soaked in a labelled, covered container of adequate size

  • 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 8 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on February 24, 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 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on February 24, 2026. For example: All reusable items and/or equipment cleaned and then disinfected or sterilized, as applicable

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 24, 2026. For example: For non-invasive personal services, operator obtains client name and contact information

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 18, 2026. For example: Services not delivered to clients with broken skin, rash, fungus, nail discoloration and/or visible skin infection
