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 7 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on December 12, 2024. For example: Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 25, 2024. For example: Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 12, 2025. For example: Are cosmetic products appropriate for their intended use and being handled properly?

A new stick must be used each time wax is collected, even when treating the same client.- Ensure that a fresh tongue depressor wood stick is used every time wax is taken from the bulk container.- As an alternative, consider using smaller wax-melting jars designated for individual clients, with any remaining wax discarded after use.
