When a client experiences an adverse reaction during a service, it is crucial to stop the service immediately and provide appropriate first aid. This response prioritizes the client's safety and well-being above all else. An adverse reaction could range from mild discomfort to a serious allergic response or other health risks.

Providing first aid could involve assessing the severity of the reaction, administering basic care, or potentially seeking further medical assistance if necessary. This action not only helps to alleviate the client’s distress but also demonstrates a professional and responsible approach to client care.

Continuing the service despite an adverse reaction could exacerbate the situation and lead to further harm. Informing the salon manager while continuing with the service does not allow for immediate action to assist the client. Asking the client to wait could delay necessary first aid and potentially worsen their condition. Thus, stopping immediately and addressing the issue appropriately is the only viable and responsible course of action when faced with such a situation.
