A patch test,
A patch test,
forty-eight hours first.
Every time, including if you have had colour for twenty years. Sensitisation develops in people who never had a problem before, and the reaction can be serious enough to need a hospital.

How we work
A Ghent salon, and the patch test is not negotiable
TY SIGNATURES is a company incorporated under Belgian law, registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under enterprise number 1022.105.727, at 74-76 Vierweegsestraat in 9032 Ghent. Hairdressing is a regulated trade in Belgium and we hold the required proof of professional competence, [PROOF OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE].
Three things we hold to. A patch test is done at least 48 hours before any colour, bleach or tint — including for returning clients whose test has expired, because sensitisation can develop after years without trouble. Tools are sterilised between clients and single-use items are never reused. And treatments and products here are cosmetic: we make no claim to treat acne, rosacea, eczema or any scalp condition, and we will point you to a pharmacist or doctor instead.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
I have coloured my hair for years. Do I still need a patch test?
Yes. Sensitisation can develop after years of uneventful use, which is exactly why the test is repeated. If your last test is out of date we will decline the colour, and we will not be talked out of it.
Can you colour my hair today?
Only if you already have a valid patch test. If not, come in for the test today and we will book the colour for 48 hours later — that gap is the entire point of it.
Can you take me from black to blonde in one visit?
Honestly, usually not. On previously dyed hair that is a process over several sittings, and a salon promising it in one appointment is risking your hair. We will tell you what is realistic.
I use retinol. Can I have a facial or waxing?
Tell us first. Retinoids and acids make skin lift during waxing and change how a facial should be done, so we may wait or adjust the treatment rather than risk removing skin.
Will a facial clear my acne?
No. Facials are cosmetic and cannot treat acne, rosacea or eczema. We will say so rather than selling you a course, and point you to a pharmacist or doctor who can help.
Are your tools sterilised?
Yes, between every client, and single-use items are disposed of after one use. It is worth asking this anywhere you go.
