Inspection summary

The Sandbar Tanning & Beauty Bar has been inspected 7 times by York Region Public Health since November 22, 2024. The most recent inspection, on March 17, 2026, found no infractions.

3 of 7 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 6 inspections with 20 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Hand hygiene and infection control.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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 February 19, 2026. For example: Dedicated equipment sink (other than a handwash sink) used for reprocessing is maintained

  • 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 7 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 19, 2026. For example: Reusable equipment is cleaned and disinfected/sterilized appropriately

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on March 3, 2026. For example: General housekeeping conditions are satisfactory

  • 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 February 19, 2026. For example: Health Canada licensed disinfectant is provided

  • 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 February 6, 2026. For example: Explanation and information provided to client regarding invasive services
