A nail service should not be performed if the client's nail or skin is?

  1. Infected

  2. Unpainted

  3. Short

  4. Dry

The correct answer is: Infected

A nail service should not be performed if the client's nail or skin is infected. This is because an infection indicates that there is an underlying issue with the nail or skin, and it may not be safe to perform a nail service on that area. It is important to address the infection and let it heal before considering a nail service. Options B, C, and D (unpainted, short, dry) are incorrect because they do not pose a health risk to either the client or the nail technician. They may affect the treatment in some way, such as the length of the nails or the condition of the skin, but they are not contraindications for performing a nail service.
