A patch test needs to be carried out before any treatment takes place.

Your client needs to have a patch test done at least 24/48 hours prior to a
treatment taking place. This is to identify if your client has any sensitivity/
allergic reaction to any of the products used. Treatment cannot be carried out if
there is any adverse reaction.

Also, for legal reasons, insurance companies may require the test. Please check
with your insurance provider. If a client has an adverse reaction to a treatment,
and hadn’t had a patch test, your insurance policy would be invalidated, which
could prove costly.

PATCH TEST PROCEDURE

1.Cleanse area of skin to be tested (usually behind the ear or crease of the
arm).
2.Apply a small amount of lash product to the area. (adhesive etc)
3.Allow to dry.
4.Advise your client to leave on the skin for 24 hours. If no reaction, then wash
off.
5.Advise your client that, should a reaction happen (red, itchy, sore area), the
product should be removed immediately with water, and a cool soothing lotion
applied such as aloe-Vera.

POSITIVE REACTION = SORE, RED, ITCHY DO NOT TREAT
