What should you do when you notice a client has a scalp infection?

Informing the client and avoiding performing any services is the appropriate course of action when a scalp infection is observed. This ensures the client's health and safety are prioritized, as scalp infections can be contagious and require proper medical evaluation and treatment. Continuing with the service could worsen the client's condition, risk spreading infection, or lead to complications.

By avoiding service, you allow the client the opportunity to seek the appropriate medical care necessary to address the infection effectively. Involving a medical professional is crucial because they can provide a definitive diagnosis and recommend a suitable treatment plan tailored to the client's specific needs. Prioritizing hygiene and safety in the salon environment is essential, ensuring that both the client and other clients are protected.
