What should you do if you notice expired products in the salon?

Discarding expired products immediately is the appropriate action to take when you notice them in a salon. Expired products can pose serious risks to both client health and safety, as well as the overall quality of the services provided. Products that are past their expiration date may lose their efficacy, which could result in negative effects such as allergic reactions, irritations, or infections.

Using expired products may seem like a cost-effective option, but it compromises client safety and the integrity of the services being offered. Similarly, reporting to management is essential, but it does not alleviate the immediate risk posed by using expired items on clients. Keeping them for educational purposes is also not advisable, as expired products could potentially cause harm or mislead future learning discussions about safe practices. Therefore, the most responsible and safe course of action is to discard expired products without delay.
