What should be done if a client requests a nail service that is not safe for them?

When a client requests a nail service that poses safety risks, the appropriate course of action is to explain the risks involved and suggest an alternative. This approach prioritizes the health and safety of the client while also demonstrating professional integrity. It is essential to communicate openly about why the requested service may not be suitable, whether it be due to underlying health conditions, allergies, or incompatibility with their nail type.

By taking the time to explain the potential consequences, you not only ensure the client's safety but also build trust and credibility in your expertise. Proposing a safe alternative shows that you care about their needs and are willing to offer solutions that align with safe practices. This promotes a positive client experience and reinforces professional standards within the manicure and pedicure industry.

In contrast, performing a service that is not safe would compromise the client's wellbeing, and offering a discount for a dangerous service would not address the fundamental issue of safety. Referring the client to another technician might be appropriate in some cases, but it does not provide the client with the care and attention they deserve from their current technician.
