What should be done if a nail technician notices an allergic reaction during a service?

If a nail technician notices an allergic reaction during a service, stopping the service immediately is the appropriate course of action. An allergic reaction can manifest in various forms, including redness, itching, swelling, or even hives, and it indicates that the client is experiencing an adverse reaction to a product or technique used during the manicure. Continuing the service could further aggravate the reaction and cause more significant harm or discomfort to the client.

By stopping the service, the technician prioritizes the client's health and safety, preventing any potential worsening of the reaction. This action allows the technician to assess the situation properly, address the client's concerns, and determine the best steps forward, such as advising the client to seek medical care if necessary. Additionally, ceasing the service helps maintain a professional and safe environment, which is crucial in the nail care industry.
