Four nail and hair salons in New Canaan passed re-inspections by a municipal health sanitarian after officials found them in violation of local ordinances during initial inspections last month, records show.
Eight other salons in New Canaan were found to have no violations during inspections conducted in June and July, according to Department of Health records.
A sanitarian at True Grace Spa & Nail during a June 5 inspection found that the temperature of hot water at hand-washing sinks was not sufficiently high, that no paper towels were available in a front service area, that the inside of pedicure chair impellers were unclean and that the Burtis Avenue facility had massage chairs even though massage isn’t allowed there, according to a health inspection report. With the exception of the hot water (which was at 105 degrees instead of the required 110), all violations were found to have been corrected during a June 12 re-inspection.
A June 5 inspection at Burtis Nails found that RefectoCIL was being used for eyebrows, though it’s not supposed to be used for eyebrows or eyelashes, according to the inspection report. Also, no paper towels were available and hand-washing sinks and no chemical disinfectant was available, the report said. Those violations were corrected, a June 12 re-inspection found.
A sanitarian during a June 19 inspection of Divaz LLC found that an outlet cover was missing on an outlet near a hair-drying chair, that there was a hole in a break room wall and that water containers under a utility sink were unclean, according to the health report. Those items were corrected, a June 28 re-inspection report said.
Finally, a June 17 inspection at Jul’s Salon found that the hot water was off at a first-floor hand-washing sink and that the closing arm had come off of a bathroom door. The health sanitarian OK’d the business to continue operating following a June 24 re-inspection.

- Cuda Salon (June 18)
- Lavender Lashes (June 19)
- Mercedes Hair Studio (June 17)
- Tony’s Hair Salon (June 18)
