During a haircut, the priority is always the safety and comfort of the client. A client reacting negatively or showing signs of distress is a situation that demands immediate attention. This could manifest in various forms, such as expressing discomfort, anxiety, or even a physical reaction to the haircut process. Addressing any signs of distress promptly ensures that the stylist can alleviate the client's concerns, whether through reassurance, adjusting the technique, or stopping the service altogether if necessary.

This focus on the client's emotional and physical wellbeing is essential in creating a positive salon experience and maintaining a professional standard in barbering. Other situations, while potentially important, do not require the immediate and urgent response that a client's negative reaction does. For instance, a style change can usually be accommodated with proper communication, a broken pair of scissors can be fixed or addressed in a moment of downtime, and a ringing phone can wait until the haircut is completed, making the distress of a client the top priority.
