At Andrew Bayliss Hairdressing we follow a Colour Responsible Policy for the safety and peace of mind of our clients.
SKIN TESTING AND SCREENING FOR SENSITIVITY AND REACTIONS
We use testing and screening to check suitability for the colouring products we provide which are essential before any colour service.
Without an up to date test, we are unable to proceed with your colour service. You may choose either;
A) Colourstart Passport (MHRA APPROVED METHOD)
(This method requires no pre-visit to the salon. It is purchased, sent to you then done by yourself in your own home and assuming nothing changes, can be a once-only process not requiring periodical testing)
Please register on the Colourstart website by clicking here and create your passport. Answer the screening questions, buy here and apply your Colourstart Patch following instructions in the video below. Upload your results to your online passport. Share your results with your Andrew Bayliss Salon – (we are registered with Colourstart). Once you have created your passport and completed your first test, subsequent colour treatments just require you to answer the screening questions – testing again with a Colourstart test may not be necessary unless something changes. Your Colourstart Passport will confidentially store your records.
B) AAT (Allergy Alert Test – Skin Test)
For your first AAT with Andrew Bayliss or if it is 6 months since your last AAT; Make an appointment to attend the salon at least 48 hours before your appointment.
We will apply a small amount of colour formula to the inside of your elbow. Leave for 48 hours, should you experience any signs of irritation, reddening, swelling, inflammation or itching please contact us. If you develop symptoms that make you unwell please contact a medical professional. When you attend the salon we will observe the test site and ask if you have completed your Chemical Consultation Form which you should of received via email prior to your appointment. The date of your AAT will be asked on this form. Subsequent colour services may not require an AAT test subject to screening questions.
