Personal Service Establishments

The Environmental Health Program in each health authority regularly inspects businesses providing personal services to ensure public health standards are being met. These services include, but are not limited to:

  • ear and body piercing
  • hair and beauty salons
  • tanning salons
  • tattooing
  • laser hair removal

Public health inspectors also follow up on health complaints associated with these types of establishments. Personal service establishments are regulated by the Regulated Activities Regulation under the Public Health Act.

Note: The Personal Service Establishments Regulation has been repealed and is now covered under the Regulated Activities Regulation.
