In what instances is it necessary to wear gloves during a service?

Wearing gloves during a service is crucial when dealing with chemicals. This is because many chemicals used in cosmetology, such as hair dyes, relaxers, and other treatments, can be harmful to both the skin and the health of the technician. Gloves provide a barrier that protects the skin from potential irritation, burns, or allergic reactions that can arise from direct contact with these substances. Additionally, gloves help maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination between clients.

In contrast, while washing hair, using styling tools, or cutting hair may not necessarily require gloves, they are more focused on physical tasks that do not involve hazardous substances. Therefore, the use of gloves is specifically emphasized when engaging with chemicals to ensure safety and compliance with health regulations in a cosmetology setting.
