What action should be taken if a client experiences excessive pain during waxing?

When a client experiences excessive pain during waxing, the best course of action is to stop the service and assess the situation. This approach prioritizes the client's comfort and safety, ensuring that their concerns are addressed immediately. Continuing with the waxing despite the client's discomfort could lead to further pain, potential skin damage, and an overall negative experience, which can impact their loyalty and trust in the service. Additionally, taking a moment to assess what might be causing the pain—from the technique being used to the product applied—allows for informed decisions moving forward. This proactive stance not only helps maintain professional standards but also emphasizes the importance of client well-being in beauty practices.
