A nail treatment??? Like, are you torturing them? Pulling out their fingernails, one by one? Then you should wear latex gloves and a hideous mask, in case the blood is infected with Hepatitis C or HIV ... Protect yourself as far as possible, and, if you are a sensitive soul of a torturer, ear-plugs help so you don't hear the screams. Don't look at the gore and mess and get a part-timer to clean it all up. You should be fine. Good Luck!
Seriously though, other than proper hygiene and disinfection, there shouldn't be any extra considerations ... I suppose an accident which causes bleeding would be the greatest worry; so you need to wear the surgical gloves and wash off everything properly. Not so different from the torturer advice, actually, is it?

A client consultation is important to determine if the client has any contra-indications to the treatment. Everything you use should be sterilised and you should look at the hands and nails prior to the treatment incase the client doesn't realise she has a contra-indication to the treatment.

i have no idea how you would or if you could ask some one this, you know how sum tools have sharp edges? they might have a disease - seriously, if fungus can be transmitted so could aids, hepatitis, or staph i imagine, so i would wear gloves while and after using tools until you are sure there are no cuts. ask them are there any tender areas on their nails, or around their cuticles, do you see any cuts? have they ever had a bad experience ? ( ask because they might not like something that has been done and you can prevent this mistake before its even made )

You perhaps need to know whether your clients are taking medication and if so what. e.g Warfarin. This is an anti-coagulant - so that in the event that you have a minor 'accident' and cut your client -they 're liable to bleed rather more heavily than would otherwise be the case because of the anti-coagulant medication.

Maybe check for any background relevant medical history, for instance diabetes - in case of any circulatory problems that could complicate the healing of simple little cuts or nicks.

Make sure you don't hit their thumb with the hammer.
