Inspection summary

NOT YOUR FATHER'S BARBER has been inspected 4 times by Ottawa Public Health since December 16, 2024. The most recent inspection, on August 14, 2026, found no infractions.

1 of 4 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 4 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct infection-control risks to clients.

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 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 6, 2026. For example: All equipment is clean and in good repair.

  • 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 on December 16, 2024. For example: Records are stored at setting in a secure location for one year or until services cease.

  • 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 December 16, 2024. For example: The setting is equipped with receptacles for waste appropriate for the sanitary operation and maintenance of the setting.
