Hello!
I'm new to lashes and lash lifts and I'm just wondering is it common for lash techs NOT to do patch tests?
Its something I wouldn't dream of, and from what I've been taught and what I've found.. insurance would only cover me if I do them?
The reason why I'm asking is for 2 reasons ... 1 being because people act like coming out of their way to see me 2 days prior to treatment is asking too much. And 2.. a recent client who had lash lifts done previously at a really well known salon (in my local area that is) was shocked for me wanting to do a patch test, she said she had never had one done before!
Does anyone know why this is? Is there a product out there that doesn't need to be tested? I just feel a little disheartened - I'm worried this is going to put people off. I know the clients who won't come for a patch test aren't really worth having anyway... but is this common? Is it something I'm just going to have to get used to?
