Inspection summary

SILVER SCISSORS has been inspected 2 times by Ottawa Public Health since October 23, 2025. The most recent inspection, on January 29, 2026, found no infractions.

1 of 2 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 6 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food source, labelling and allergens.

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.

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Products used on clients must come from approved sources, stay in their original labelled containers and be thrown out when they are expired or contaminated. Unlabelled products make it impossible to know what a client is being exposed to.

    Recorded once on October 23, 2025. For example: Single use equipment is discarded immediately after use.

  • 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 October 23, 2025. For example: Equipment is maintained in good sanitary condition and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Some jurisdictions require operators to complete infection-prevention training, or to hold specific qualifications for higher-risk services such as tattooing, piercing or electrolysis. These findings mean the training record was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean a client was put at risk.

    Recorded once on October 23, 2025. For example: Operator obtained the name and contact information of the person seeking the service.

  • 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 on October 23, 2025. For example: Sharps shall be appropriately disposed of.
