HAVING A COLOUR APPOINTMENT WITH US?

If it’s been longer than six months since your last colour with us, or you’re a brand new guest, you will need an up-to-date patch test.

If it’s been longer than six months since your last colour with us, before your next appointment you will need to ensure you have had a patch test with the below requirements:
  • Must have been done in the last 6 months.
  • Must have been done by either of these two options:
    • Option 1: In Salon Test (at least 48 hours before your appointment)
    • Option 2: Colour Start Passport (at least 7 days before your appointment)

Why do I need a test?

We have a responsibility whilst working safely, to prioritise your care with our experience and high standards. Following best practice guidance is one way we can do this.

To minimise the likelihood of an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the products and services we offer, we have two different ways to maintain your safety at all times. Please scroll down to select an option.

How do I get a test?

Option 1: In Salon
Free of Charge

Visit your Trevor Sorbie salon at least 48 hours before your colour appointment. This involves putting L’Oréal colour behind your ear and keeping it on for 48 hours. Should you experience any signs of irritation, swelling, inflammation or itching please contact the NHS on 111 and then contact us.
