Patch Testing Made Easy with the Colourstart and Phorest Salon Software Integration
Patch testing is crucial but it can also be time consuming… So, that’s where Colourstart steps in! A simple-to-use solution that also integrates with Phorest salon software.
Colourstart Passport
Colourstart Professional Allergy Screening offers the only clinically proven test for allergy to hair colour (ppd) licenced by the medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (mhra). When recorded on Colourstart Passport, clients complete the test once for the creative freedom to choose any hair colour without needing to be retested.

Customer Demand
Technical Lead for Colourstart Passport, Martin Dick, believes this is a genuine breakthrough for Colourstart. “Phorest recognising customer demand for Colourstart is a significant advancement, highlighting the hairdressing profession’s commitment to skin testing.

From my side it takes care of the redemption of the Passports automatically, leaving me one less task to worry about each day allowing me to focus more on customer care which we value highly here at not another salon, says Not Another Salon Manager, Bladon Moriarty.
