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 October 2, 2026. For example: Every person who provides a personal service performs hand hygiene as appropriate.

• 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 once on October 2, 2026. For example: Multiple use equipment/instrument(s) are cleaned and disinfected/sterilized appropriately after each client and as often as necessary to maintain in a sanitary manner.

• 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 April 28, 2026. For example: Disinfectant records are maintained, documented and 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 on October 2, 2026. For example: Disinfectants have a Drug Identification Number (DIN) or Natural Product Number (NPN).
