Inspection summary

THE LASH BAR OTTAWA has been inspected 7 times by Ottawa Public Health since April 16, 2024. The most recent inspection, on June 4, 2026, found no infractions.

2 of 7 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 13 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food source, labelling and allergens.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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 January 22, 2026. For example: All 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 8 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 5, 2024. For example: Disinfection records are kept.

  • 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 April 16, 2024. For example: Operator provided written notice of reconstruction or renovation.

  • 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 7 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 2026. For example: Waste is collected and removed appropriately.
