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 August 20, 2026. For example:
Waste is collected and removed as often as necessary to maintain the premises in a sanitary manner.
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 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 22, 2026. For example:
The manufacturer's instructions for equipment/instrument(s) are accessible.
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 February 12, 2026. For example:
Disinfectants are used as per manufacturer's instructions.
