🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue

🐥
Piyo: Poppo, what's changing with EU allergen labelling in 2026?
🦉
Poppo: EU Regulation 2024/996 requires individual labelling of 80 specific hair-dye allergens by July 2026. This means salons must know exactly which allergens are in each product and record which ones each client was exposed to. The generic 'may cause reaction' warning is no longer sufficient.
🐥
Piyo: How should a salon track allergens across hundreds of products?
🦉
Poppo: An allergen matrix: one spreadsheet mapping every SKU to its allergen profile from the SDS. When a client reports an allergy to PTD, you instantly know which products are safe and which are not. MmowW Shamp👀 SaaS automates this cross-reference.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — knowing exactly what touches your client's skin is the deepest form of professional care.
