How Do Lash Technicians Handle Allergic Reactions or Sensitivities?
At Brand Lashes USA, we prioritize your safety by expertly managing allergic reactions and sensitivities to ensure a comfortable lash extension experience.
Pre-Service Consultations and Patch Tests
At Brand Lashes USA, our first step in handling allergic reactions or sensitivities is through thorough pre-service consultations and patch tests. Before any lash application, our technicians conduct detailed consultations to understand each client's medical history, skin type, and any known allergies. This information helps us tailor our approach and select the most suitable products. To further safeguard against allergic reactions, we perform a patch test with our lash adhesive on a small area of the skin. This test is crucial in identifying potential sensitivities to the adhesive or other products used during the lash application process.
If any irritation or allergic reaction occurs, our technicians will explore alternative products or recommend other lash enhancement options that do not pose a risk to the client. By taking these proactive measures, Brand Lashes USA ensures a safe and personalized lash experience for each client.
Managing and Addressing Reactions
Despite thorough consultations and patch tests, allergic reactions can sometimes occur. At Brand Lashes USA, our technicians are trained to manage and address these reactions promptly and effectively. If a client experiences discomfort or an allergic reaction during the lash application, we immediately stop the service and assess the situation. Our technicians are equipped with knowledge and tools to safely remove the extensions if necessary and provide soothing treatments to alleviate any irritation. In cases of mild reactions, we may recommend over-the-counter antihistamines or topical treatments to reduce symptoms. For more severe reactions, we advise clients to seek medical attention.
After addressing the immediate reaction, we work closely with the client to determine a safe path forward, which may include using hypoallergenic products or exploring alternative lash services. At Brand Lashes USA, our commitment to client safety and satisfaction means we are always prepared to handle sensitivities with care and professionalism, ensuring a positive and safe lash extension experience.
