Colour change news

Beaucatcher is making the change over in our colour brands to Redken. From the afternoon of Tuesday 18 September all colour clients will need to have a skin patch test for allergy before experiencing the new colours so please stop in the salon at your convenience before your next appointment.

The skin test takes only a few minutes, during which we will apply a test patch of colour to your skin and fill out an allergy testing card for you which will be kept with your records. After 24 hours you will see if you are prone to allergy and let us know.

You may think it unnecessary, especially long- time colour users, but allergy to hair colourants can develop after long term use and so it’s best to check. One point of our switching colour brands is that Redken have made available to us a superior product free from ammonia and with less harsh chemicals than ever before – so by swapping we want to improve the quality of your colour and safety of our clients’ health as well as that of our stylists. We hope to make the process of testing as quick and easy as possible.
