Skin Test Policy
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our clients, all new clients are required to have a patch test at least 48 hours between treatments for any appointment involving:
Hair colouring
Brow or lash tint
Brow lamination
Lash extensions
Microblading
🕒 Patch tests take approximately 10 minutes and are completely free of charge.
👤 Please note: Clients must be aged 16 or over.
What does the patch test involve?
When you arrive at the salon, we will apply a small amount of the relevant product to a discreet area of your skin. This must remain undisturbed for 48 hours.
You will also be asked to sign a consent form confirming your understanding and agreement.
That’s it — simple and quick!
What if I have a reaction?
If you experience redness, itching, or swelling, we recommend taking an antihistamine (if suitable).
If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice immediately and inform us of your reaction.
Why is a patch test necessary?
Patch tests are a vital safety measure. Some salon products may cause allergic reactions, which in rare cases can be severe or even life-threatening. These quick, preventative tests ensure your treatment is safe, enjoyable, and stress-free.
When will I need another patch test?
You’ll need to be re-tested if:
You’ve received treatment at another salon
It’s been 6 months or more since your last appointment
You’ve had a tattoo, semi-permanent makeup, or used black henna since your last patch test
