In what circumstances should a licensed aesthetician refuse service to a client?

A licensed aesthetician should refuse service to a client if the client has a contagious condition. This decision is rooted in the need to maintain health and safety standards, both for the client in question and for other clients and staff members. Treating someone with a contagious condition can pose serious health risks, including the potential spread of infections or diseases within the establishment. Refusing service in such cases demonstrates a commitment to public health and responsible practice, ensuring that all clients receive safe and hygienic treatments.

While considerations such as discounts, tardiness, or a lack of prior experience may impact the service provided, they do not pose the same level of health risk that a contagious condition does. It is crucial for aestheticians to prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone in their care.
