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.

• Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk

  For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.

  Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 2026. For example: Total alkalinity is within range of 60-180 ppm

• Food temperature controlHigher risk

  In a personal service setting this usually means equipment that has to reach or hold a set temperature, such as a sterilizer (autoclave) or a wax heater, or a fridge for products. A sterilizer that does not reach its temperature may not kill germs on reusable tools.

  Recorded once on March 19, 2026. For example: If equipped with an automatic sensing device, total alkalinity, pH value, free available chlorine, total chlorine or bromine residual, water clarity, and water temperature are checked at least every 4 hours until the daily use period has ended

• 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 once on March 19, 2026. For example: Daily records completed and signed

• 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 once on March 19, 2026. For example: Safety equipment available and in good repair

• 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 March 19, 2026. For example: Make-up water meter is read at the end of each operating day (if available)
