What is a safe practice for clients with skin irritations?

When dealing with clients who have skin irritations, refusing service and suggesting a consultation is a safe practice because it prioritizes the client's health and well-being. Clients with skin irritations may have underlying conditions that could worsen with certain treatments or products used in cosmetology. By recommending that they consult with a healthcare professional, you are ensuring that they receive the appropriate advice and care rather than potentially exacerbating their condition through treatment.

This approach also protects the cosmetologist and the establishment from liability if the irritation is a symptom of a more serious condition, as performing services could lead to further complications or reactions. Maintaining safety protocols in such situations reflects a commitment to professional standards and ethical practices in the field of cosmetology.
