So i have been doing my research when it comes to the patch test as I was told to patch test on the inner elbow 15 mins before the appointment starts! Which sounds completely ridiculous as the glue isnt meant to touch the skin!!! and 15 mins?!?!
So I havnt patch tested and thanksfully have never had a reaction for a client, but have no started to test.
So I looked at all the threads lots of people dont test, some people do sometimes and other do all the time.
The problem i have found is that some people come from a distance to have their lashes done and it is very difficult for them to come for a 5 min consultation and a test. So I checked my insurance to see what they said and here it goes... My insurance is INVALID if I dont do a patch test at least 24 hours in advance.
So theres your answer. If you are trained to test or not - check your insurance! I have however emailed them to ask if I could draw up a waiver form which basically stops people claiming if they decide that they dont want a patch test - which some of my clients have asked for.
