ALLERGIES TO COLOR OR PRODUCTS?
Q. "I have had reactions and/or Allergic Reactions to Chemical Formulas in the past. Should I talk to you about it?"
If you DO have more sensitive skin or have had sensitivities with past color or chemical processes, or specific hair styling ingredients, please do let me know when scheduling your appointment. If it is only a slight reaction such as a slight skin irritation that goes away within a short period of time then there are ways we can help protect your sensitive skin, given it is something I'm made aware of.
If you have had negative reactions that are severe, you will not soon forget, so if you are wondering if you fall in this category, then please don't worry. Allergies to hair chemicals really aren't that common, and I can say that given my years of experience in the salon
If you have Gluten Allergies, this is an easy thing to avoid, should you also have skin sensitivities to ingredients such as hydrolyzed wheat protein.. we can instead use products that I know to be free of any Gluten. .
Yet, if you have any concerns of possible skin allergies to any scheduled processes or ingredients, we can schedule to perform a patch test (inside of elbow as it is considered to be the best place to detect any reactions). For complete accuracy this test is best performed 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment and is important that the test site be left uncovered. If you experience any reaction it will be confined to the one small localized site.
