Allergy Testing.
We operate a strict ‘no allergy test no colour."‘ policy.
It is essential that all our colour guests have a allergy patch test at least 48hours prior to your colour service. We operate this policy as safety for our guests is paramount.
We carry out an allergy patch test by placing a small amount of tint on your skin using a single use applicator. This is left on for 48 Hours unless an adverse result occurs.
In this case the patch test needs to be rinsed off immediately. YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD BE CONSULTED.
We follow allergy patch test guideline set out by the government and industry bodies to ensure the safety of our guests.
