What should be done if a client shows signs of an allergic reaction during a service?

In the event that a client displays signs of an allergic reaction during a service, it is essential to immediately stop the procedure and assess the situation. This action prioritizes the client's health and safety, allowing the technician to evaluate the severity of the reaction, provide appropriate care, and determine the next steps.

Stopping the service ensures that the client is not exposed to further allergens that could exacerbate their condition. It also allows the technician to manage the situation effectively, whether that involves applying cold compresses, advising the client to seek medical assistance, or simply monitoring their symptoms. Promptly addressing allergic reactions demonstrates a high level of professionalism and care, fostering trust between the technician and the client.

Continuing with the service, using additional products, or simply changing the type of product could lead to a worsening of the client's condition and may even result in serious health consequences. Therefore, assessment and immediate action are the most responsible and appropriate responses in such situations.
