Increased risk of client dissatisfaction or allergic reactions
Enhanced service quality

The correct answer is: Increased risk of client dissatisfaction or allergic reactions

Performing a service without a proper consultation significantly heightens the risk of client dissatisfaction or allergic reactions because a consultation is essential for understanding the specific needs, preferences, and health considerations of the client. During a consultation, the barber can gather vital information, such as the client's previous experiences, any allergies, or sensitivities, and desired outcomes for the service. When this step is skipped, miscommunications and assumptions may occur, leading to results that do not meet the client's expectations. Furthermore, if a client has an undiagnosed allergy or skin sensitivity, neglecting to ask during a consultation could result in harmful reactions. Therefore, thorough consultations help to ensure safety and satisfaction, which are critical in maintaining a positive client relationship and the professional integrity of the barber.
