Inspection summary

WhiteBlue / Salon WhiteBlue has been inspected 7 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since April 23, 2024. The most recent inspection, on November 25, 2024, found no infractions.

3 of 7 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct infection-control risks to clients.

The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. 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.

  • 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 November 21, 2024. For example: Are the equipment manufacturer's instructions for use of specific equipment available and followed?

  • 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 November 20, 2024. For example: Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?
