Contraindications are conditions or factors that make a particular treatment unsafe for a client.
To handle contraindications, the salon staff should always follow these steps:
1. Conduct Consultation: Perform a detailed consultation and ask clients about allergies, skin conditions, or medical issues.
2. Check for Signs: Observe the skin and scalp for cuts, infections, or any abnormal conditions before starting a service.
3. Refuse or Modify Service: If a contraindication is present, politely refuse the treatment or offer an alternative that is safe.
4. Seek Medical Advice: Advise the client to consult a doctor if needed before rebooking the service.
This ensures client safety, prevents complications, and maintains professional standards.
