How can you protect the client's clothes during hair coloring?

Using a cape or towel is an effective method for protecting the client’s clothes during hair coloring. Capes designed for salon use are specifically made from materials that repel stains and liquids, which provides a barrier between the hair dye and the client’s clothing. These capes are also designed for comfort and ease of use, making it simple to secure them around the client’s neck while ensuring that hair is contained and any potential drips or spills do not reach their clothes.

While other options may offer some level of protection, they may not be as effective or professional. For example, a plastic bag might not fit well or could be uncomfortable. An old shirt may not provide sufficient protection and might lead to an untidy situation if dye leaks occur. Disposable covers, although useful in certain contexts, might not offer the same level of comfort or security as a well-fitted salon cape. Therefore, the use of a cape or towel stands out as the most appropriate choice for ensuring that the client’s clothing remains protected during the coloring process.
