As a practitioner, you’re most likely to encounter non-critical situations in your day-to-day work. However, it’s crucial to be prepared for events such as:
• Vasovagal reactions (fainting)
• Anaphylactic shock
• Choking
• External bleeding
• Eye injuries
As a professional in the hair industry we highly recommend gaining a first aid certificate or full level 3 first aid qualification.
Aftercare is the most important part of any service and the client is in full control. Aftercare should be given to the client at consultation, at the service verbally and again via a printout or leaflet.
