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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 2, 2024. For example: The setting is equipped with a hand wash sink.

• 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 once on January 17, 2024. For example: Single use equipment is discarded immediately after use.

• 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 on January 17, 2024. For example: Equipment is maintained in good sanitary condition and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  The premises needs a working hand sink, a separate sink for cleaning instruments where required, cleanable surfaces, and good lighting and ventilation. Upkeep problems are usually lower risk on their own, but they make thorough cleaning harder.

  Recorded once on December 2, 2024. For example: Operator provided written notice of reconstruction or renovation.

• 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 4 separate inspections, most recently on February 6, 2026. For example: Disinfectants are approved and used appropriately.
