What should be done before each service to ensure client safety and comfort?

Consulting with the client before each service is essential for ensuring their safety and comfort. This step allows the nail technician to gather necessary information about the client’s preferences, any allergies or sensitivities, and specific concerns they may have regarding the service. By engaging in conversation, the technician can tailor the treatment to meet the client’s individual needs, fostering a sense of trust and care.

This consultation can also provide an opportunity to explain the process, discuss any special requirements, and confirm that the client is comfortable with what will be done. Establishing this communication is crucial for building a positive salon experience and ensuring the client feels secure throughout the service.

Reviewing the service menu, preparing the tools, and applying sanitizer are important aspects of the pre-service routine, but they do not directly address the client's specific needs and concerns in the way that consulting with them does. These tasks, while necessary, support the consultation rather than replace the importance of open communication with the client.
