What should you do if you accidentally cut a client?

When you accidentally cut a client, the most appropriate action is to apply pressure to stop the bleeding and use antiseptic if necessary. This approach prioritizes the client’s safety and well-being. Applying pressure helps to control bleeding, while antiseptic can prevent infection from occurring at the site of the cut.

By addressing the injury immediately, you demonstrate professionalism and care for your client's health. It's also vital to ensure that any injury, no matter how minor, is treated properly to avoid further complications.

Other options like ignoring the injury fail to acknowledge the client’s needs and could lead to further harm. Apologizing and continuing the haircut without proper care could exacerbate the situation and show a lack of responsibility. While calling for emergency help might be necessary in severe cases, it's typically not required for minor cuts, where controlling the bleeding and applying antiseptic is sufficient.
