What should be included in client consultation before services?

Including a discussion of the client's medical history and potential allergies in a client consultation is crucial for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the client. Understanding any pre-existing conditions or sensitivities allows the nail technician to customize the services accordingly and avoid using products that may cause adverse reactions. For instance, knowing if a client has a history of dermatitis, asthma, or allergies to specific chemicals used in nail products can guide the technician in product selection and treatment methods. This thorough assessment contributes to creating a safe environment and demonstrates professionalism and care for the client’s health.

While discussions about service costs, salon policies, and aftercare instructions are important for a comprehensive consultation, the priority should always be the client's health and safety, which is why the discussion of medical history and allergies takes precedence.
