What should barbers do before starting any chemical service?

Consult their supervisor

Read the manufacturer's instructions

Before commencing any chemical service, it is essential for barbers to read the manufacturer's instructions. This step is crucial as it provides specific guidance on the proper usage, concentration, and application techniques for the chemicals involved. Understanding these instructions ensures that the barber applies the product safely and effectively, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or mishaps during the service.

Additionally, manufacturer instructions often include important safety information, such as required patch tests and contraindications that may not be immediately apparent. By adhering strictly to these guidelines, barbers can ensure the health and safety of their clients, as well as the integrity of the hair and scalp throughout the service.

While consulting a supervisor can be beneficial for various reasons, it does not substitute for the vital knowledge contained within the manufacturer’s instructions. Testing chemicals on oneself is neither a safe nor a recommended practice, as individual reactions can vary widely. Simply mixing chemicals with water without understanding the product guidelines can lead to improper usage and potential harm. Therefore, the best practice is to always start by reading and understanding the manufacturer's instructions.
