HS029 - Allergy Alert (Patch) Test Policy and Record

Allergy Alert (Patch) Test Policy and Record

This template is for salons and barbershops that offer hair colour, and beauty salons that offer lash and brow tinting. It gives you a ready-made allergy alert test policy, a client record card and a clear plan for what to do if a client reacts. Allergic reactions to hair dye are uncommon but can be serious. A consistent, recorded process protects your clients and your business.

What you'll get

• Why following the manufacturer's instructions is your starting point
• How to write and run an allergy alert test policy
• What to ask clients before every colour or tint service
• What to do if a client reacts, mildly or severely
• A client consultation and test record card to copy
