What should you assess before starting any barbering service?

Assessing hair and scalp conditions before starting any barbering service is essential for several reasons. It allows the barber to identify specific needs and considerations for the client’s hair type and scalp health. This assessment can reveal issues such as dryness, oiliness, dandruff, or scalp sensitivity, which may influence the choice of techniques and products used during the service. By understanding these conditions, the barber can customize their approach, ensuring the service not only meets the client's aesthetic expectations but also promotes hair and scalp health. This knowledge is crucial for delivering safe and effective results while minimizing potential discomfort or adverse reactions for the client.
