Typical hazards & measures
Patch testing and chemicals
— Perform brand-specific tests on intact skin with guardian consent; read at 48 hours; document product, batch and site; proceed only if uneventful. Re-test after illness, pregnancy or brand change and store evidence with photos where allowed.
Photography and social media
— Use a separate, revocable media consent; no images without guardian signature. Show shots before saving; store securely; avoid names, uniforms and locations; honour removal on written request and log expiries to revisit permissions later.
Service suitability by age
— Provide age-graded menus; avoid strong chemicals, high heat or invasive steps for minors. Offer safer alternatives, outline realistic results, and obtain guardian sign-off before any irreversible stage such as cutting length or tinting hair/brows.
Parental consent
— Obtain written consent from someone with parental responsibility; verify ID and relationship; explain scope and limits in plain language. File signed consent with date and service list, and reconfirm at each visit or whenever the plan changes.
Boundaries and conversation
— Use a child-safe script; avoid personal probing; pause if topics become sensitive and invite the guardian to join. Note concerns neutrally and escalate via the safeguarding lead; rotate staff if rapport is poor or a conflict of comfort arises.
