What should you do if you accidentally cut a client during a service?

Applying pressure to stop the bleeding and cleaning the wound is the appropriate response if you accidentally cut a client during a service. This immediate action ensures that any minor bleeding is controlled, minimizing the risk of infection and further complications. After stopping the bleeding, it’s essential to clean the wound properly to remove any contaminants and help prevent infection.

Taking these steps demonstrates professionalism and care for the client's well-being. Ignoring the injury or continuing with the service could not only worsen the situation but also put the client's health at risk. Similarly, calling for assistance may be necessary in severe cases, but first aid should always be initiated immediately. Applying a bandage without cleaning the wound would not effectively address the risk of infection and could lead to complications. Therefore, addressing the injury with proper first aid is crucial.
