Beauty Salon Treatments :: Contra-indications

A contraindication is something that prevents you from receiving a treatment as it will probably make the condition worse.

It is not to scare you, merely to ensure you have a safe treatment and that neither you or myself are put at risk.

Some contraindications listed in the treatments below may be wavered if you can produce a letter from your doctor to confirm you are able to receive the treatment.

IMPORTANT: Please check you are not contraindicated to receive a treatment. I can't be held responsible if something goes wrong as it is assumed you have checked you do not suffer from any of the listed contraindications prior to booking an appointment.
