None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Chemicals and toxic substances.

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.

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Disinfectants must be the right type for the job, mixed to the correct strength, labelled and replaced on schedule. A disinfectant that is expired or diluted too much may not kill germs on tools, so these findings are treated seriously.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 6, 2025. For example: Mechanical, Chemical and Biological Monitoring: Did operator follow directions of a medical officer of health or public health inspector?

  • 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 across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 22, 2026. For example: Did operator meet requirements for equipment that is used in invasive services?

      • Use a Type 1 external chemical indicator (e.g., tape, label) on every package that is processed in the sterilizer.
      • Use a Type 4 internal chemical indicator (e.g., paper strips) inside every package that is processed in the sterilizer.
      • Challenge the sterilizer once every 14 days at a minimum with a biological indicator (e.g., spore test).
      • Ensure the spore test is contained in a process challenge device. There must be a full load in the sterilizer being tested.
      • Process challenge device: A test device intended to provide a challenge to the sterilization process that is equal to, or greater than, the challenge posed by the most difficult item routinely processed. Examples include, but are not limited to, biological indicator test packs which also contain a chemical indicator. (Show More)
      • Send biological indicator (e.g., spore test) to a service provider capable of performing spore testing and certified to recognizable standards (e.g., International Standards Organization).
      • Ensure that the service provider performing biological indicator testing is able to: provide test results electronically within 48 hours of incubation, immediately communicate a spore test failure to personal service workers and confirm receipt of information to a live person; and maintain records that include: date of spore test, date of incubation, date of reporting the result, worker who conducted the test, unique identifier/lot number printed on the spore strip package and the growth medium.

      • Follow-up with the laboratory to obtain biological indicator results in a timely manner.
      • Do not use processed equipment until after the biological indicator results have been received and are negative i.e., passed.
      • Include a biological indicator in every load containing implantable devices. Implantable devices shall not be used until the results of the biological indicator are available.
