If you have a client with an infection in the beard area, you should:

  1. Not shave the client

  2. Apply a hot towel

  3. Use a sharper blade

  4. Disinfect the area first

The correct answer is: Not shave the client

Cutting or shaving the hair in an infected area can spread the infection or make it worse. It is important to avoid further irritation or damage to the skin until the infection has cleared. Applying a hot towel or using a sharper blade may also cause irritation and should be avoided. The correct approach is to disinfect the area first and then avoid shaving until the infection has healed. It is also important to properly clean and sanitize any tools or equipment used on the client to prevent the spread of infection.
