What should a barber do if they notice a client has a scalp condition?

When a barber notices a client has a scalp condition, the most appropriate action is to refer the client to a medical professional. Scalp conditions can vary widely in nature, including fungal infections, psoriasis, dermatitis, or other dermatological issues, and often require specialized treatment that falls outside the scope of a barber's practice. By referring the client to a healthcare provider, the barber ensures that the client receives the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan necessary for their specific condition.

This approach also emphasizes the barber's professionalism and commitment to client care; it directs clients toward expert advice rather than attempting self-treatment, which could potentially worsen the condition or lead to further health complications. With proper referral, clients can receive the attention they need from specialists, allowing the barber to maintain a safe and hygienic environment for all clients.
