Which PPE is commonly worn during client services to protect both the client and stylist?

• A. Gloves, apron, and eye protection as needed; change gloves between clients.
• B. Gloves only.
• C. Apron and eye protection only.
• D. Eye protection only.

Answer: (A)

Personal protective equipment during client services protects skin, eyes, and clothing and helps prevent cross-contamination between clients. The best choice includes gloves, an apron, and eye protection as needed, with gloves changed between clients. Gloves shield the hands from chemicals and disinfectants; an apron protects clothing and skin from spills and stains; eye protection is used when there’s a risk of splashes or fumes from chemicals. Changing gloves between clients stops transfer of residues or microbes. The other options miss one or more of these protections, making them less complete for safe, professional practice.
