1. Why salon allergen management (eu alg 2024/996) matters for mobile / home salon
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].
For mobile / home salon, the specific risks and controls differ from other salon types. This guide adapts the universal principles to your daily reality.
2. Salon-type hazard profile
Salon-type hazard quick reference

| Barbershop | Razor bloodborne pathogen, towel hygiene, skin infection | Single-use blade + 60°C laundry + sharps disposal |
| Nail salon | Acrylic/gel dust, UV lamp skin risk, fungal cross-infection | Local exhaust ventilation + UV timer + tool sterilisation |

6. Dialogue
🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — 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.
