What should you do if a client has an allergic reaction to a perm solution?

In the case of an allergic reaction to a perm solution, the most appropriate action is to stop the service and seek medical help if necessary. This response is crucial because allergic reactions can vary in severity and may escalate quickly. Stopping the service ensures that the client is not exposed to additional harmful chemicals, which could exacerbate their reaction.

Recognizing the signs of an allergic reaction—such as redness, swelling, itching, or more severe symptoms—requires prompt attention. Consulting a medical professional may be essential, especially if the reaction is severe or if the client is experiencing difficulty breathing or swelling of the face and throat.

Prioritizing the client’s health and safety is paramount. Therefore, taking immediate action to discontinue the procedure and providing appropriate medical care is the best course of action in this scenario.
