SHAMPOOING & CONDITIONING ALTHOUGH MOST MEN DO NOT HAVE THEIR HAIR SHAMPOOED WHILST THEY VISIT THE BARBERSHOP, THERE ARE SOME OCCASIONS WHEN SHAMPOOING IS ESSENTIAL. MANY MEN HAVE THEIR HAIR WASHED BEFORE A CUT TO REMOVE EXCESS PRODUCT OR TO ENJOY A RELAXING AND REFRESHING SCALP MASSAGE. SOMETIMES THE HAIR IS SHAMPOOED AFTER CUTTING, PARTICULARLY AFTER VERY SHORT HAIRCUTS TO HELP REMOVE THE TINY EXCESS HAIRS, TO MAKE THE CLIENT FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE AND TO GET THE BEST FINISH. 44 / Concept Hair

STEP BY STEP: Prior to washing a client’s hair, make sure you carry out a full and thorough consultation and look for any contraindications that may affect the service. Ensure you have gowned your client up correctly with a gown and a towel across their back and shoulders to protect their clothing. If you are using a front wash, you will also need to place a towel over the client’s chest. It is very important to position your client correctly to ensure they are comfortable and that you have a watertight seal.
