What can you do to avoid scratching clients' skin during procedures?

Keeping your fingernails from getting too long is crucial in avoiding scratches on clients' skin during esthetic procedures. Long fingernails can inadvertently come into contact with the skin and cause abrasions, leading to discomfort or injury for the client. By maintaining a shorter nail length, practitioners reduce the risk of accidentally scratching or damaging the skin while performing various treatments such as facials, waxing, or makeup application.

It is important to regularly monitor and trim your nails to ensure they remain at a safe length. This practice not only promotes client safety but also reflects professionalism and attention to detail in esthetic work. Other options like using gentle products, soft brushes, and minimal pressure may enhance the overall experience but do not specifically address the direct risk posed by long fingernails.
