What is the proper technique for draping a client in a salon?

The proper technique for draping a client involves using a towel under the cape. This method provides both cleanliness and comfort for the client. The towel acts as a barrier between the client's skin and the cape, absorbing any moisture and offering extra warmth. This is particularly important during services that may involve water or products that could irritate the skin.

Placing the cape over the back of the chair further ensures that the cape remains clean and easily accessible while maintaining a tidy workspace. This method not only adheres to sanitary practices but also enhances the overall experience for the client, making them feel more comfortable and secure during their appointment.

Other methods, such as using a cape only or a towel only, may not provide adequate protection for the client or the salon furniture and can lead to discomfort or hygiene concerns.
