What is the primary benefit of using gloves during chemical services?

Using gloves during chemical services primarily serves to prevent chemical burns on the technician's hands. Chemical products used in hair treatments and other cosmetology services can contain harsh ingredients that might cause irritation or burns with direct skin contact. By wearing gloves, technicians protect their skin from these potentially harmful substances, ensuring their safety while performing necessary services.

While maintaining a clean working environment is important, that benefit is secondary to the protection gloves offer against chemical exposure. Client discomfort can occur for various reasons, but it is not the main objective of wearing gloves; the focus is more on the technician’s health. Enhancing grip while working, although a potential advantage to some extent, is not the primary reason for wearing gloves in chemical services. The primary concern remains the protection against the risks posed by the chemicals used in these services.
