PATCH TEST & ALLERGIES

As a professional, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are only performing this service on eligible clients.

At least 24 hours prior to the service, it is recommended that the client have a patch test of the perm and setting solution behind their ear to test for a reaction.

If there is a reaction, DO NOT do the service.

The human eye is an extremely sensitive area and a patch test is necessary to ensure your client’s safety. It is recommended that the patch test is done at least 24 hours in advance of the appointment.

HOW TO CONDUCT A PATCH TEST

  • Apply a small amount of the perm solution to a q-tip and apply it to the skin behind a client’s ear or elbow crease. Leave on for 2-3 minutes and remove with water.
  • Apply a small amount of the setting solution to a q-tip and apply it to the skin behind a client’s ear or elbow crease. Leave on for 2-3 minutes and remove with water.
  • If you are tinting the lashes, apply a small amount of the tint with the developer to a q-tip and apply it to the skin behind a client’s ear or elbow crease. Leave on for 2-3 minutes and remove with water.
  • If any redness or irritation occurs within the first 24 hours, cancel your upcoming lash lift and tint service.
