What should be done if a client shows signs of an allergic reaction during a service?

Continue the service
Apply more product
Stop the service immediately
Use ice to soothe the reaction

The correct answer is: Stop the service immediately

If a client shows signs of an allergic reaction during a service, stopping the service immediately is essential. This action helps prevent further exposure to the allergen, which can exacerbate the reaction and lead to more severe health complications. It's crucial to prioritize the client's safety and well-being in such situations. Immediate cessation of the service allows the barber to assess the situation, provide appropriate care, and determine if further medical assistance is needed. Continuing the service could worsen the client's reaction, while applying more product may introduce additional allergens that could further irritate the skin. Using ice may provide temporary relief, but it does not address the underlying issue and may not be enough of a response in the case of a significant allergic reaction. Hence, stopping the service is the most responsible and effective course of action.
