What steps should be taken if a client shows signs of a fungal infection?

When a client shows signs of a fungal infection, the appropriate step is to refer the client to a physician. This aligns with the health, safety, and professional standards of nail technician practice. Fungal infections can be contagious and may require specific medical treatments that a nail technician is not licensed to provide.

By referring the client to a physician, you ensure that they receive the correct diagnosis and treatment, as well as preventing the potential spread of the infection to other clients. This action also maintains the integrity of your practice and the well-being of all clients. A responsible approach in dealing with potential infections emphasizes the importance of prioritizing client health and safety in the beauty industry.
