Steps:
Client Consultation:
Before conducting the patch test, have a thorough consultation with the client. Ask about any known allergies, sensitivities, or previous adverse reactions to beauty products.
Explain the Purpose:
Clearly explain to the client that you are conducting a patch test to ensure their safety and to identify any potential allergic reactions to the lash adhesive or extensions.
Choose a Suitable Area:
Identify a small area to perform the patch test.
Clean the Area:
Cleanse the chosen area with a gentle, hypoallergenic cleanser to remove any oils or residues that may interfere with the patch test.
Apply Lash Extensions:
Using micro brushes or applicators, apply a few lash extensions to the chosen area using the lash adhesive. Ensure that the extensions are securely attached but avoid overloading the area.
Secure with Lash Tape or Eye Pads:
If necessary, use lash tape or eye pads to secure the lash extensions in place and prevent them from coming into contact with other areas of the skin.
Document the Details:
Record the details of the patch test, including the date, types of lash adhesive and extensions used, and the area of application, in your client record form.
Wait for the Recommended Time:
Instruct the client not to disturb the area and to avoid water, excessive sweating, or touching the patch test site for the recommended time (typically 24 to 48 hours).
Client Monitoring:
Advise the client to monitor the patch test site for any signs of redness, itching, swelling, or irritation. If they experience any discomfort, they should contact you immediately.
Follow-Up Consultation:
Schedule a follow-up consultation with the client after the recommended time to assess the patch test site and discuss any reactions or concerns.
Proceed with Caution:
If the client experiences any adverse reactions during or after the patch test, it is advisable to avoid using lash extensions or adhesive on that client. Discuss alternative options or consult with a healthcare professional if necessary.
Remember, a lash extension patch test is a precautionary measure, and it's important to prioritize the safety and well-being of your clients. Always follow industry best practices and guidelines to ensure a positive and safe lash extension experience
