103 Rabbit Hill Court NW Edmonton AB T6R 2V3 · Personal Services

Inspection summary

Riverbend Hair Salon has been inspected 3 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since June 4, 2026. The most recent inspection, on September 10, 2026, found no infractions.

1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 5 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.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    The premises needs a working hand sink, a separate sink for cleaning instruments where required, cleanable surfaces, and good lighting and ventilation. Upkeep problems are usually lower risk on their own, but they make thorough cleaning harder.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 5, 2026. For example: Is the facility properly constructed and maintained to allow for the safe and sanitary provision of personal services (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 2 times on June 4, 2026. For example: Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?

  • 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 June 4, 2026. For example: Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?
