Ethics & California LawQuestion 128 of 484

Before applying a permanent wave to a new client, the BEST practice is to:

a.Skip the consultation to save time
b.Apply only on one side first as a test
c.Have a friend sign the release on the client's behalf
d.Conduct a consultation and document the client's prior chemical history, scalp condition, and informed consent

Explanation

Informed consent and consultation are professional and legal standards before chemical services. Documenting prior chemicals, scalp condition, allergies, and patch tests protects both the client and the licensee.
