Here at Buzby & Blue, your safety, comfort, and confidence are always our top priorities. Especially when it comes to hair colouring. That’s why we’re introducing Colourstart. This is a modern patch testing system that improves how we assess colour allergies while making the process simpler and more convenient for our clients.
Why Patch Testing Matters
Hair colour products can contain ingredients such as PPD (p-phenylenediamine), which can cause allergic reactions in some people. Even if you’ve coloured your hair for years without issue, sensitivities can develop over time. Patch testing helps identify potential reactions before colour is applied, reducing the risk of irritation, swelling, or discomfort.
Why We Are Switching to Colourstart
Traditional patch testing requires a separate visit to the salon and only covers a specific colour product. Colourstart offers a more flexible, up-to-date solution.
With Colourstart:
- Patch testing can be completed at home
- Results are recorded in a secure Colourstart Passport
- Once cleared, you can safely receive a wider range of colour services
- Fewer patch testing trips to the salon are needed
What This Means For Our Clients
If you’re booking a colour appointment with us, you will be asked to complete a Colourstart patch test ahead of your visit. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the process and we are always here to help if you have questions.
We believe this change reflects our commitment to best practice, client care, allowing us to stay at the forefront of professional hair services.
