Seoul Gangseo-gu Office building.

Gangseo-gu, Seoul, will conduct a "Public Hygiene Service Evaluation" for 992 beauty salons over the course of one month starting from the 4th of next month. The public hygiene service evaluation, conducted every two years by industry, assesses the hygiene service levels of establishments and publishes the results to encourage voluntary service improvement by business owners and enhance hygiene management standards.

Following last year's evaluations of lodging, bathhouse, and laundry businesses, Gangseo-gu is conducting evaluations of beauty salons this year. The evaluation targets are 992 beauty salons excluding the 981 salons evaluated in the first half of the year. Honorary public hygiene inspectors, composed of local residents, will visit in pairs to increase the objectivity and reliability of the evaluation.

The evaluation items include 25 to 29 criteria depending on the industry, such as compliance with legal requirements like having disinfection equipment and managing beauty tools, maintaining cleanliness, and posting the final payment price list as recommended. Establishments scoring 90 points or above receive a green grade, those scoring 80 to 89 points receive a yellow grade, and those scoring below 80 points receive a white grade for general management.

The district office plans to notify each business of the evaluation results and publish them on the district website to provide residents with information about excellent establishments. A district official stated, "We expect the public hygiene service evaluation to encourage voluntary service improvements by business owners and contribute to building consumer trust," adding, "We will thoroughly manage the evaluations objectively and fairly so that residents can use public hygiene establishments with confidence."

In the first half evaluation of 981 beauty salons, 469 received green grades, 344 received yellow grades, and 168 received white grades. For detailed inquiries, please contact the Hygiene Management Division of the Gangseo-gu Public Health Center.
