Had a client faint mid-fade at my chair in Phoenix last month.

He hadn't eaten all day, and just slumped over while I was lining him up. I had to catch him and call 911, and now I keep a pack of juice boxes and some granola bars in my station. Do you guys have any other tips for handling medical scares in the shop?

Wait, he actually fainted while you were doing the line-up? That must have been so scary to have him just drop like that. Do you think he hit his head on anything when he went down?

Oh man, @gonzalez.vera, yeah it was wild. First thing you gotta do is check if they're breathing and call for help, obviously. Then look for any blood or if their head hit something hard, because that changes everything. We kept him on his side until the ambulance showed up.

Yeah, that "drop like that" part @gonzalez.vera mentioned is the scariest thing. It happens so fast you can't even react. Hope the guy is doing okay now.
