Dallas Salon Fined $9,000 For Sanitation Violations - TDLR
Investigators Confirm 10 Violations Following Complaint
Duc Nguyen, owner of Beverly Hills Nails on Oaklawn Avenue in
Dallas, signed an agreed order admitting to the infractions and
paid the
penalty. One of the provisions of the order is that he and
all of
his employees take a four-hour sanitation course by September
10th, 2007.
The educational hours will be in addition to the 4 hours of
sanitation training all cosmetologists must receive to renew
their
licenses.
On February 14th, 2007, responding to a complaint, TDLR
investigators
conducted an inspection at the salon and found numerous
sanitation violations, including soiled disinfectant, failure to
store
clean implements and supplies in a clean, debris-free
environment,
failure to sanitize equipment between clients, failure to
maintain a
clean environment and failure to remove soiled towels after use.
In and of themselves, any of these violations present a
threat to
consumer safety. Together they present a serious disregard of
TDLR
sanitation guidelines,said TDLRs executive
director William Kuntz. Consumers should not have to risk their health and
safety for a manicure or a pedicure. Nail salon owners who disregard
the guidelines will discover that cutting corners to save a few
cents can be very expensive.
Beverly Hills Nail Salon was one of 6 salons investigated by TDLR
after an
undercover investigation by Dallas news station WFAA-TV
uncovered
apparent violations at the salons. Complaints against other
salons
are pending.
