What should technicians do if a client has an allergic reaction during a nail service?

Ending the service immediately and calling for medical assistance is the appropriate response if a client experiences an allergic reaction during a nail service. This is crucial because allergic reactions can vary in severity, and symptoms might escalate rapidly, posing health risks to the client. By stopping the service right away, the technician prevents any further exposure to the allergen, which could exacerbate the reaction. Additionally, calling for medical assistance ensures that the client receives the necessary care from professionals trained to handle such situations.

During an allergic reaction, the priority should always be the client’s health and safety. Continuing the service or attempting to mitigate the symptoms with products can further harm the client and is not recommended. Encouraging deep breathing may provide temporary comfort but does not address the underlying health issue and does not constitute proper medical care.
