Final answer:
Consult the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) before using any salon product in order to understand potential hazards and learn the appropriate safety precautions.
Step-by-step explanation:
SDS, or Safety Data Sheets, should be consulted before using any salon product. These sheets exist to provide important information about the possible hazards (physical, health, environmental) and safety precautions for handling, storing, and disposing of chemicals. You should always refer to the SDS prior to using a product to ensure you understand how to safely manage its use. For example, it will provide insights on what to do in case of a spill, including clean-up procedures, and potentially the symbols you may see on packaging, like the 'hazard diamond'. Consultation after emergencies, such as a chemical spill, is often too late to prevent harm or damage.
