Which condition would likely require a client to avoid nail services?

A client with an infection should avoid nail services to prioritize their health and avoid exacerbating the condition. Infections, whether fungal, bacterial, or viral, can lead to further complications if nail services are performed. These services often involve cutting, filing, or applying products that could irritate the infected area or spread the infection more widely. In such cases, it is crucial for the client to seek appropriate medical treatment to resolve the infection before undergoing any nail procedures.

On the other hand, healthy nails, a broken nail, and a minor hangnail typically do not pose the same level of risk and may still be serviced with proper precautionary measures. While these conditions might require special care, they do not generally demand that services be completely avoided as infections do.
