I know patch tests feel like an extra step, but they exist for a very important reason: to protect you. A small test today can prevent a serious allergic reaction tomorrow.
Which Treatments Need a Patch Test?
- ◆Lash extensions (adhesive)
- ◆Lash and brow tinting (dye)
- ◆Lash lifts (perming solution)
- ◆Brow lamination (straightening solution)
- ◆Laser hair removal (patch test on treatment area)
How It Works
A small amount of product is applied to a discreet area — usually behind the ear or on the inner arm. You leave it for 24-48 hours and monitor for any reaction: redness, swelling, itching, or irritation.
If there's no reaction, you're good to go. If there is a reaction, we'll find an alternative product or treatment that works for you.
Patch tests are completely free at Lumora Belle. They take about 10 minutes and can be booked through Fresha at a time that suits you.
What If I've Had the Treatment Before?
Even if you've had lash extensions or tinting at another salon, I still require a patch test at Lumora Belle. Different products and brands use different formulations, and your skin's sensitivity can change over time. It's always better to be safe.
Patch tests are a small investment of time for a big peace of mind. Book yours through Fresha and we'll have you treatment-ready within 48 hours.
