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.

- OBSERVATIONS/NOTES REGARDING DISINFECTANT CHEMICALS FOR REUSEABLE EQUIPMENT:1) Barbicide is utilized for sanitizing combs - instead of a liquid solution in a jug, Barbicide pods are purchased (32 pods in a package) and one of the pods is added to the jar and the rest of the jar is filled with tap water. Pods are purchased from a beauty supply company in Edmonton.2) For scissors, due to the potential for rusting, the scissors are not immersed in Barbicide and instead a spray is utilized for this task of sanitizing. This same spray is also utilized for sanitizing the hair trimmer piece.3) Confirmed during the inspection that toe nail clipping services is also offered to residents at this facility. Nail clippers are sanitized with Preempt (hydrogen peroxide sanitizing solution); however, noted on the labels of these products that the product had expired in May 2021 and February 2024. Moving forward, ensure the products/chemicals with expiry dates are reviewed on a regular basis and discarded to waste/returned to distributor for a credit.
