I contacted them again yesterday as I didn't get a response as to whether RefectoCil Sensitive required testing each time, and just had this in my inbox (I did also drop in that potentially thousands of therapists in the UK would just stop using their products if we didn't feel we had enough legal protection):
"we recommend to do the patch test in advance to avoid any allergy issues after tinting. We now have become aware that this could be a challenge for the salons.
So what we are doing is to get in contact with our UK-partner and a legal advisor looking for a solution that fits for all parties.
Thank you for your understanding that this will take some time. We are going to report back asap."
I did respond and gave a link to TricoCare the manufacturers of the Colour Start testing patch, I hope they either can authorise the use of these or licence the product with their own brand. Either way we will know where this company stands soon. The reply did get an out of office response with return on the 26th though, so won't hold my breath. But nice to know someone is actually looking at it and not like other companies just leaving us to deal with it. In the meantime, remember to patch test every time, with every brand![/QUOTEts brilliant thank you for resuming it
That's interesting, thank you for persuing it. Of course once the manufacturer makes a decision we then have to find out what the insurers do also. Ultimately it rests in their hands.
Please let us know when you hear further.
