EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS
Always make sure you have an MSDS sheet on-site for any liquid/cream/gel product you are using. Request this from the manufacturer.
LASH PERM, SETTING, OR TINT SOLUTION GOT ONTO THE CLIENT’S SKIN:
HOW TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING:
- Apply the solution carefully to the rod and hair only.
- Be meticulous, pay attention, and be very careful.
WHAT TO DO IF THIS OCCURS:
- Wipe off immediately with a wet cotton round as leaving it on the skin could cause blistering.
- Continue cleaning with WATER ONLY until removed.
- If blistering occurs during the service or afterward, refer them to see a doctor.
LASH PERM, SETTING, OR TINT SOLUTION GOT INTO THE CLIENT’S EYES:
HOW TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING:
- Ensure the client’s eyes are completely closed.
- Don’t goop on the solution, apply with care, and make sure you don’t apply the solution onto the waterline. Be very intentional.
- Check-in with the client to see if anything is burning every few minutes. Don’t be afraid of being annoying. This is their safety.
- To reiterate, do not rely on the client to tell you if anything is burning because they may not. Ask them every couple of minutes if anything is burning.
- Do not leave the client unattended. Stay with them throughout the entire service.
WHAT TO DO IF THIS OCCURS:
- END THE SERVICE!
- Wipe off the product with dry cotton swabs to remove as much as possible.
- Turn the client’s head to one side and flush the eye with saline solution or water (use a tissue on the temple to catch the excess water).
- Continue flushing until burning sensation subsides.
- Wipe off excess saline from the eyes with a clean tissue.
