Inspection summary

Modern Nails has been inspected 15 times by Middlesex-London Health Unit since August 15, 2017. The most recent inspection, on June 2, 2026, found no infractions.

8 of 15 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 4 inspections with 5 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination and Hand hygiene and infection control.

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.

  • 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 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on February 25, 2026. For example: Flooring, walls, ceilings, fixtures and furniture of the setting are in good repair, easily cleanable, smooth and impermeable material and maintained in a sanitary manner

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 25, 2020. For example: Personal service setting is adequately equipped with hand washing stations

  • 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 9 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on February 25, 2026. For example: Reusable equipment is cleaned and disinfected or sterilized as often as necessary to prevent disease transmission

  • 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 February 25, 2026. For example: Inspection results are posted in accordance with the Public Health Inspector's request

  • 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 May 27, 2026. For example: Operator training is completed upon request
