Patch Test Record

About this document

What it’s for

A record of each patch test (skin allergy test) you carry out before colour, tint, lash and other chemical services, and its result. Insurers usually require a patch test where the manufacturer’s instructions call for one, and a dated, signed record is your best evidence if a client later has a reaction.

When to use it

  • Before a client’s first colour, tint, lash lift, lash extension or similar service
  • Before each later service where the manufacturer’s instructions say so, or under your repeat policy
  • Whenever the product, health, medicines or pregnancy status changes

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part A – Client details
  • Part B – Questions before the test
  • Part C – Test details
  • Part D – Client instruction slip
  • Part E – Result check
  • Part F – When a new test is needed
  • If a client does not want a patch test
  • Part G – Salon patch test log
  • Declaration

How to complete it

  • Complete Parts A to C when you apply the test and give the client the instruction slip in Part D
  • Check and record the result in Part E before the service – never earlier than the time the manufacturer specifies
  • Use the log in Part G to track tests across all clients

Key points to check

  • Each product’s own instructions – they override this template
  • Your insurer’s patch test conditions, including how often tests must be repeated
