As a Cosmetologist I know you may go ahead and color your hair. It would be fine. Sometimes pregnant women experience allergic reactions or the hair doesnt come out exactly the right color but these are rare. Just give it a try. Should be fine.Is it contraindicated to color your hair at beauty salon if you are pregnant?
i would wait
It is absolutely fine to colour your hair at a salon when you are pregnant, and no, we do not use special colour that are only for pregnant women. It is a myth that you cannot have it done, if anything, I am living proof, I worked full time hairstyling durring both of my pregnancies, and I had no complications, and 2 very healthy children.
it depends on what country you live in to as to what the recomendations are.


Im a colour tech and i have coloured plenty of women who are preggers.. the UK laws are that this is fine ....


however, you should be aware that there are some chemicals that are classed as being Carsongenic ( ie. known to be cancer causing / have a connection to cancer in certain conditions). your own body has lots of natural defences agaisnt things like these but it becomes a judgement call of your own as to whether you want to have these products applied directly to your skin where they can enter the blood stream and naturally that of the unborn child.


My understanding is that you would only need to be a bit concerend about this if you are having a full head colour with level 3 - permenant colour.


If the thought bothers you then you may want to swap to either a Quasi or veggie, or at least high lights or low lights for the term of your pregnancy.





Main thing is to keep this in perspective. In the modern day we are subject and open to lots of things that are bad for us, and our bodies are very good at defending us and looking after us.


If having your hair done makes you feel on top of the world that is going to out weigh any mild risk in my opinion.
It is fine to color your hair but I'd suggest wearing one of those medical masks as breathing in the fumes may make you nauseous and I wouldn't recommend getting your hair done without it.
