1. Context
Contact allergy to salon products affects an estimated 1-2% of the general population and up to 15% of hairdressers[1]. EU Regulation 2024/996, effective July 31 2026, introduces mandatory individual labelling for 80 hair-dye allergens — the most significant regulatory change in salon product safety in a decade[2].
This deep dive focuses on emergency protocols — one of the most critical sub-areas within salon allergen management (eu alg 2024/996).
2. Common pitfalls
- Product allergen data scattered or non-existent
- Client allergy history taken verbally, never recorded
- Cross-contamination between product lines not controlled
- No allergen emergency protocol (antihistamine, when to call 999)
3. Authority-recommended solutions
- Build product allergen matrix — every SKU mapped to EU 80 allergens
- Digital client allergy record — searchable, persistent, flagged at booking
- Cross-contamination SOP: dedicated tools for allergen-free services
- Allergen emergency kit at reception: antihistamine + protocol card + emergency number
4. 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.
