What should a barber do if a salon tool breaks during use?

If a salon tool breaks during use, the proper action for a barber is to stop using it and replace or repair it immediately. This approach prioritizes safety for the client and ensures that the quality of service is maintained. Continuing to use a broken tool could lead to injuries, subpar results, or damage to the client's hair or scalp.

Repairing a tool while the service is still ongoing could lead to distractions and might compromise the professional atmosphere that clients expect. Informing the client and using a different tool can be a viable option but does not address the need for immediate action regarding the broken tool. The best practice is to stop using the malfunctioning tool right away to ensure that the service can be completed effectively and safely.
