2 of 7 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 5 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct infection-control risks to clients.
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.
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 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 9, 2026. For example:
Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?
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 5 separate inspections, most recently on July 9, 2026. For example:
Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 9, 2026. For example:

- 03. Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?
- Facility-specific written procedures were available at time of inspection describing handling accidental skin cuts or punctures, and skin cleansing, but the skin cleansing procedure lacked information on the specific products used.PHI trainee offered education onsite to the operator on how to fill out and maintain these procedures during the inspection.
- 10. Is cleansing and antisepsis of skin and mucous membrane performed in accordance to written procedures and are suitable products being used?
- Skin cleansing was performed on clients by themselves and by the operators in a suitable matter using appropriate products (soap and water), but written procedures were not available to follow at the time of inspection.Please ensure to cleanse the skin of clients with the appropriate products (such as soap and water) when services are performed that may come into contact with mucous membranes and non-intact skin. Please make sure to follow written procedures for skin cleansing.
- 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
- Semi-critical instruments were properly disinfected with a high-level disinfectant (PREempt CS20) according to manufacturer's instructions, including being fully submerged for 20 minutes. Test strips were also available onsite, were being used correctly, and a test log was available. The high-level disinfectant was being reused according to the manufacturer's instructions.However, the test log did not indicate when the high-level disinfectant was changed (e.g., when the test strip shows a concentration below the minimum effective concentration [MEC]), as well as which month the log was for. After PHI trainee provided the operator with education, they made these corrections to the log.Please ensure to have a detailed test log that indicates the day and month of testing, as well as when reused high-level disinfectant fails to meet the effective concentration and is discarded.

- Employee personal effects (water bottles and cups) were observed next to the sink used by the operator in the waxing and brow-tinting room. The PHI trainee discussed with the operator the need to keep incompatible undertakings (such as food and drink consumption) separate from reprocessing areas. The operator removed all items immediately.Please ensure that employee dishes and cups are kept separate from reprocessing areas or tools used for personal services, such as keeping these items in the back 'employee's only' room instead.
