Inspection summary

THE EAR SPA OTTAWA has been inspected once by Ottawa Public Health, on June 10, 2026. The most recent inspection, on June 10, 2026, recorded 7 infractions.

In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 7 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.

  • 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 3 times on June 10, 2026. For example: The setting and surfaces are clean and in good repair.

  • 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 10, 2026. For example: All services offered are permitted under the Health Protection and Promotion Act.

  • 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 once on June 10, 2026. For example: Written notice to Ottawa Public Health is required 14 days prior for new operations, additional services, renovations, or construction.

  • 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 June 10, 2026. For example: The setting is free from every condition that may constitute a health hazard.
