Which conditions contraindicate waxing services?

The chosen answer highlights conditions that directly pose a risk to client health and safety when considering waxing services. Skin infections, acne, and certain medications can lead to increased sensitivity and a higher likelihood of adverse reactions during the waxing process.

For example, if a client has a skin infection, applying wax can irritate the infection and potentially spread it or exacerbate the condition. Similarly, active acne can be inflamed by waxing, as pushing and pulling on the skin can lead to further irritation or scarring. Certain medications, particularly those that thin the skin or photosensitize it, can also cause significant complications. These medications might lead to increased sensitivity and a greater risk of skin damage during waxing.

Although dry skin and hair loss, sensitive skin and allergies, as well as excessive sun exposure, may also warrant caution during waxing, they do not pose the same immediate health risks associated with waxing as the conditions in the selected answer. For instance, dry skin can usually be managed with proper aftercare products, sensitive skin may be approached with gentler techniques, and while allergies are significant, they're often context-specific. Excessive sun exposure can lead to skin sensitivity, but this does not automatically contraindicate waxing in all cases as long as the skin is not sunburn
