A barber should not service clients with which condition?

  1. Ringworm

  2. Dandruff

  3. Oily Hair

  4. Split Ends

The correct answer is: Ringworm

Barbers should not service clients with ringworm because it is a highly contagious fungal infection that can easily spread from one person to another through direct contact or by sharing personal items such as combs, towels, or hair clippers. While dandruff, oily hair, and split ends are all common hair and scalp conditions, they are not contagious and do not pose a risk to others. Therefore, a barber can still safely provide services to clients with these conditions.
