ADM warns 45 salons, seizes expired items

abu dhabi — The City Municipal Centre at the Abu Dhabi City Municipality (ADM) has announced that it had served 45 warnings to hairdressing salons and beauty parlours, seized 1,046 packs of illegal and expired materials and issued eight judicial injunctions to offenders, as part of a series of inspection campaigns recently launched by the centre in Abu Dhabi.

The inspection campaigns are aimed at following-up the compliance of hair-cutting and beauty salons with the standards set by the Abu Dhabi City Municipality. The inspection also seeks to detect and seize any illegal or unlicensed materials to aid public safety.

The inspection campaigns covered men’s salons, ladies beauty centres, children’s salons, outlets selling cosmetics and ladies gyms. Inspection visits covered 686 stores during which the municipality seized 1,046 packs of expired, illegal or harmful materials, such as black henna and Chinese henna, while also issuing 45 warnings to the violating establishments.

During their field visits, inspectors detected several explicit violations relating to poor hygiene of the facility, using expired items and failure to clean and sterilise equipment, as well as the poor storage and dispensation of hair care products. The inspection campaigns are in line with Law No. 02 of 2012 prohibiting any natural or corporate person from practising any business that may have an adverse or harmful impact on the public health, hygiene and tranquillity in the emirate. —
