Skin Test Policy
At Kado Hair, we understand the importance of skin testing before any colour services. We take every precaution to ensure that our clients are safe during their visit. Here's what you need to know about our skin testing process.
Skin testing is a legal requirement under Section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act. The aim of the skin test is to make sure that our clients do not have an allergic rection to any of the products that we use within the salon.
A skin test must be carried out at least 48 hours prior to your appointment with us. Failure to do so will result in us not being able to carry out the service on your hair.
If you haven't had you hair coloured within the salon within the last 6 months, we must carry out another skin test to make ensure no reaction to the product takes place.
If you have any questions regarding skin tests please feel free to give the salon a call or send us a message through our contact page.
What the skin test entails:
During the skin test one of our team will place a small amount of colour behind the ear, our team will then ask you to complete an allergen form which will be added to your client profile.
It is the responsibility of the client to monitor for any reaction to the colour. This could range from blistering, redness, sore, itchy, burning, aching of the skin, headaches, or any other abnormal body reaction. If any of these do occur, wash the colour from the area immediately and inform Kado Hair of the reaction.
