Colour Patch Testing is Now a Legal Requirement
Allergy testing for the application of colour is now a legal requirement. A patch test should be carried out 48 hours prior to the application of colour, even if the client has had a colour treatment before.
Why Do You Need One?
You could have a serious reaction. It could just be an itchy rash of some painful swelling. But in extreme cases your eyes might swell up so much that you can’t see, you could have trouble breathing, or your skin could react so badly that you are left with a permanent facial scar.
