    • Cover with a bandage and leave for 48 hours.
    • Check for redness, itching, swelling, or blistering.
  3. For salon chemical services, disclose scalp conditions, pregnancy, or recent medical treatments to your stylist.
  4. For lash and brow tinting, confirm the product’s safety and ask for a patch test if you have a history of sensitivity.

Warning: Do not use hair color or chemical services if you’ve had a prior severe allergic reaction to hair dye or related products. Seek medical clearance if uncertain.
