Impetigo

If you had someone come into your salon with an active case of impetigo on her face, would you let her tan? I use Lucasol but I can't sterilize every surface in the room so I'm thinking I should play it safe and turn her away. I welcome your opinions either way. Thanks!

Provided proper precautions are taken inactive impetigo i not necessarily a problem but if this is indeed active or open you are best advised to swerve it completely.

Re: Impetigo

She tried to walk in this morning but didn't want to wait. She just came back a few minutes ago and her skin looked much better which made me start to doubt myself, but I think it was just because she covered it with makeup. Anyway, I have enough experience with tweakers to know what I saw. I turned her away.
