Personal Service Settings
Personal Service Settings (PSS) are businesses that provide services like manicures, pedicures, waxing, facials, hair design, tattoos, piercings, acupuncture, tanning beds, micro pigmentation, electrolysis and laser hair removal.
We inspect PSS annually and review records, and check equipment infection control measures. We disclose inspection results online through our ChooseWise website and also on-site to be transparent with the public and to comply with Ministry requirements. We also disclose any lapse in Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) procedures.
