It is important for you and your client to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to:

• prevent an allergic reaction

• prevent damage to tools

• protect client from infestation

• protect skin, clothing and hands

When consulting with clients it is important to ask clear questions and to record answers to safeguard the salon and the stylist against:

• broken Health and Safety regulations

• legal action for damages or negligence

• legal action for over running service times

• prosecution under Trade Descriptions

A client must have a skin test prior to colouring to identify:

• any allergic reaction

• the condition of hair

• the hair’s elasticity

• the porosity of hair

How should a strand test be carried out?

• By applying a small amount of colour behind the ear, prior to service

• By feeling if the cuticle is rough and damaged, prior to the service

• By removing a little of the developing product, during the service

• By stretching and returning the hair’s elasticity, during the service

An incompatibility test is performed by placing a test cutting into a solution of:

• bleach and ammonium hydroxide, bubbling and fizzing should be seen

• hydrogen peroxide and ammonium hydroxide, no reaction should be seen

• hydrogen peroxide and disulphide, no reaction should be seen

• relaxing agents and metallic salts, hair breakage should be seen

If a client’s hair breaks when carrying out an elasticity test, what would your action be if they are booked in for a lightening service?

• Complete the lightening service and treat the hair afterwards

• Cut the hair before completing the scheduled lightening service

• Recommend a cut and use high-lift tint instead of powder bleach

• Recommend a series of treatments, and offer an alternative service

Failure to follow manufacturer's instructions when carrying out hair and skin tests can result in:

• allergic reactions and damage to hair and scalp

• cuts, abrasions and sores on the scalp

• dandruff and oily hair from overactive glands

• ringworm and an infestation of head lice

Following a skin test, if the client's skin becomes red and inflamed you should remove the tint and:

• offer a deep conditioning treatment before the colour service

• recommend the client goes home and rests immediately

• recommend the client seeks immediate medical attention

• record it on client’s record card and carry out the service

The International Colour Chart (ICC) identifies the:

• depth and tone of hair colours in Europe

• depth and tone of hair colours worldwide

• hydrogen peroxide strength required

• primary and secondary tones used in the UK

When colouring, the first number after the dot or slash identifies:

• how light or dark the colour is

• the base or depth of colour

• the primary colour tone

• the secondary colour tone
