Overview

Hair colouring is one of the most popular salon services and one of the most high-risk when it comes to allergic reactions and chemical exposure. Managing these risks correctly protects both clients and staff while keeping your salon compliant with UK health and safety regulations. Hair dye chemicals can cause irritation, burns, or severe allergic reactions if handled improperly.
