Typical hazards & measures
Inadequate rinsing or neutralising
— Confirm water temperature/pressure before mixing; plan uninterrupted rinses for critical removal stages. Rinse until water runs clear, follow with neutralising or pH-balancing steps per brand, and test scalp comfort before finishing; document any deviations from protocol.
Skin staining and clothing damage
— Apply barrier cream at hairline/ears, use fresh neck strips and chemical-resistant capes, and keep absorbent towels ready. Wipe drips promptly, use only approved stain removers on skin, and cover clothing; segregate clean/used linens and launder at high temperature.
Cross-contamination between products
— Use colour-coded bowls/brushes for bleach, colour, perm and neutraliser; disinfect tools between stages and label clearly. Keep oxidisers and reducers on separate trays and store apart; never share bottles or decant different chemistries into one container.
Allergic reaction to direct dyes and toners (non-oxidative)
— Review dye reaction history; perform a small behind-ear/inner-arm test with the exact toner/shade, avoiding damaged skin. Use minimal contact time, remove at the first sign of irritation, provide aftercare advice, and record product, batch and timing.
Fire risk from flammables and ignition sources
— Store aerosols/alcohols away from heat; keep dryers/straighteners off capes and unplug when not in use. Maintain clear exits, serviced extinguishers and a no-smoking policy; brief staff on electrical/aerosol fire response and never use heat over volatile products.
