Ombre Salon and Laser Clinic has been inspected 2 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since July 3, 2024. The most recent inspection, on March 24, 2025, recorded 2 infractions.

None of the 2 inspections on record were free of infractions. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Hand hygiene and infection control.

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 once on March 24, 2025. For example: Is hand hygiene performed by the personal services worker when required, in a proper manner and are provisions available to perform hand hygiene?

  • 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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 24, 2025. For example: Is single-use or uncleanable equipment being used as intended (Critical)?

  • 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 July 3, 2024. For example: Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this personal services facility (Non-Critical)?

    • 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
      • 1) The facility is using a concentrate disinfectant on the client contact surfaces. The product does not appear to be prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions, since the operator described using approximately 10 drops, but the manufacturer states 20 mLs. Additionally, the contact time appears to be 10 minutes.REQUIREMENT: Ensure all disinfectants are made in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. To avoid confusion or simply this task, it is suggested that the operator obtains a non-critical disinfectant wipe which ideally has a lower contact time.2) A staff member stated that Pre-Empt CS20 is being used for client contact surfaces and is not left on for 20 minutes as required. This was corrected during the inspection; staff member was instructed to not use that product to disinfect client contact surfaces, and CS20 must be left on a surface for a minimum of 20 minutes.

      • Several products like post-wax oil remover were portioned into non-original containers. These non-original containers were unlabelled.REQUIREMENT: To prevent any cross-mixing of products, or any confusion on the contents of bottles, ensure that all bottles/containers are labelled.
