What should a barber do if a client shows signs of infection?

A barber has a professional responsibility to prioritize the health and safety of clients. If a client exhibits signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge, it is crucial to refrain from providing any services. Continuing with the service could exacerbate the client's condition and also pose a risk of spreading infection to other clients and staff.

By referring the client to a medical professional, the barber ensures that the client receives appropriate care and treatment for their condition, which is beyond the scope of the barber's training and expertise. This approach not only protects the health of the client but also upholds the barbering profession's standards of safety and hygiene. Taking this responsible action maintains the integrity of the salon environment and promotes trust between the barber and the client.
