The process is environmentally safe\, but we will take precautions: \n\n\n\n\nAvoid direct skin contact with the solution; wash with soap and water if needed.\n\n\n\nWashing soda (used for bleaching) should be handled carefully to avoid skin irritation.\n\n\n\nToning solutions (various teas) are non-toxic and safe to use.\n\n\n\nGloves and handling tools (tongs/clippers) will be available for added safety.\n\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\n\n\nDo I need to prepare anything before the workshop?No preparation is required!
