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 across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 2025. For example:
Prescribed signage posted/unobstructed/legible within 1 meter of each piece of equipment in rooms where tanning beds are located.
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 June 3, 2025. For example:
Prescribed signage posted/unobstructed/legible as a reminder to employees of the prohibition on selling to persons less than 18 yrs. old and that anyone under age 25 must be asked for ID.
