Which service requires draping with a chemical cape?

Draping with a chemical cape is specifically required for chemical treatment services because these treatments often involve the use of various chemicals that can potentially damage clothing or irritate the skin. The chemical cape is designed to provide a barrier against these substances, ensuring that the client’s clothing remains protected and that any spills or splashes do not come into contact with their skin.

In contrast, services such as haircutting, shampooing, and styling typically utilize a different type of draping, often a water-resistant cape or a simple salon cape, since these services do not involve concentrated chemical products. Shampooing, for instance, primarily involves water and shampoo, which can be managed with a basic cape that keeps hair and water off the client without the need for the added protection that a chemical cape offers. Thus, the specific requirement for a chemical cape for chemical treatment services highlights the need for additional safety measures when using potentially hazardous materials in cosmetology.
