Hello I am new here but have been reading around for a bit to learn from everyone. I am a cosmetologist in WA state that is opening up my "shave room" soon and am conflicted over the use of gloves for the service. gloves seem like they will take away from every aspect of the service, from massages to feeling the grain and skin, grip, ambiance.... I just cannot find any sources that list actual infection risks from performing ungloved assuming neither I or the client has visible wounds. If anyone can help me out I would be very appreciative. I will be calling the board on Monday to see if it is s legal requirement which will solve this quickly.

Thanks for reading.
