What should you always check before starting a hair service?

Checking the client's hair type and condition is crucial before beginning any hair service. This assessment allows the cosmetologist to understand the unique characteristics, health, and needs of the client's hair. Different hair types—such as straight, wavy, curly, or coily—require different techniques and products to achieve the desired results while ensuring the hair's integrity and health. Additionally, a thorough evaluation of the hair's condition, including its strength, porosity, and damage level, helps in making informed decisions about the treatment or coloring methods to use.

Understanding these factors ensures that the services provided are tailored to the client's specific hair needs, which can prevent potential damage and lead to better results and overall client satisfaction.
