Asking the wrong question

I can totally relate to this posting. Recently I had a client that was alergic to a certain type of color. She was getting a relaxer and a demi-permanent color all within the same service, which is perfectly normal. Before performing the service, I asked her if she was allergic to color, she stated that she wasn't. So, we conducted a patch test, which involves mixing a small quantity of tint preparation and applying it directly to the skin for a period of 48 hours. According to her, there were no problems with the patch test. There were no signs or irriation on her skin. It was't until she recieved the full service that she started to experience massive itching. She went to her doctor to get her scalp evaluated, and we found out that she was allergic to demi-permanent colors. She could get semi because it contains no or very low peroxide or ammonia. I only asked her about color and I should have broken down the different types of color and what's in them so that she could have given me a more thorough answer.

Sivad I think you make a good connection to the question and your own experiences. I wonder though if she would have known the differences in the dyes? That seems like a tough situation.

She didn't, that's why she didn't know what to ask for. It was my job to educate on the different tyeps of color and what each one of them mean.
