Reaction: Your skin likely had a localized allergic response to one or more of the agents used in the process. It will likely fade over several days or a week. Cold water can help with itching as may taking an antihistamine. It may be a good idea to avoid that site for future hair work or at least find out what they used so you can avoid it.
