Tuesday 23 February – 12pm – Practical Skills Live with Jody Adele Taylor – “Understanding melasma: treatment and control for clients”
A major concern for clients within salons is pigmentation issues within the skin. It can be hard to distinguish between dermal pigmentation or epidermal pigmentation, and the two can look and act alike and have similar causes.
In this Practical Skills session, Jody Adele Taylor, owner of Skin Deep salon in Doncaster, will take a closer look at dermal pigmentation to help you treat the condition in salon and prevent reoccurrence for your clients. There will be a 10-minute audience Q&A at the end where you can ask Taylor your burning questions.
