What should I do if my scalp becomes irritated after a salon service?

The answer

Stop using new products, avoid further chemical treatments, and contact a dermatologist or healthcare provider if redness, burning, swelling or itching persists. Do not try to solve the irritation with more styling products. Tell the salon what happened, including which services you had and when, so the information is on record.
