How should a barber handle a client with an open wound?

A barber should prioritize the safety and well-being of both the client and themselves when handling a client with an open wound. Avoiding the area and recommending medical attention is the best approach. This ensures that the wound is properly treated and prevents any risk of infection or complications that could arise from exposing an open wound to the tools and products used during a grooming service.

Addressing an open wound improperly, such as by ignoring it or simply covering it with a bandage, could lead to further injury or health issues. Encouraging the client to seek medical advice ensures they receive appropriate care for the wound and minimizes the risk of transmitting any potential infections. This practice is not only responsible but helps maintain a safe and hygienic environment in the barbershop.
