Hi Geeks,
Does anyone else have the same problem as me?
In my salon we do everything by the book and wouldn't i have it any other way! but there is 3 salons within a 5 minute walk of mine and none of them do skin testing when they do colours on new clients. basically if they have tint already on there hair they are happy enough to accept that as they are ok to have a colour without a skin test.
It is so annoying because I lose so many clients because of this reason. We are in an area where we do get a lot of walk in ans they ask for colour and we say "unfortunatly because you havnt had a colour at this salon before we have to do a skin test at least 48 hours before your colour appointment. We can do this now as it only takes a few minutes and we can book you in for you colour in a few days time. We have to do this to protect you because if you have a serious reaction to the colour it can be fatal and its our job to protect all of our clients" Then they say no its fine I need it doing today. then literally go to the next salon and they get there colour done! its so annoying its like we are being punished for being legally compliant.
Am I the only one who has this problem?
