Navigating hair salons while living with food allergies!

Hair salons should be an enjoyable experience, but when you have food allergies, there are a few more things to consider besides your hairstyle. 💇🏿‍♀️🥜🧴Candi shares how she planned her daughter’s first trip to the hair salon to ensure she would feel like a princess and not come into contact with any of her allergens and feel like a princess.
Steps to ensuring a safe salon experience:
1️⃣ Call ahead and ask about the products used or if you can go in person to read them
2️⃣ If you are unsure about something, ask to bring your own so you have a safe backup option
3️⃣ Ask for clean brushes, clips and other materials to ensure no cross-contact
4️⃣ Have fun!
