During a service, what should you ensure about the cape?

• A. The cape stays in place and the client's arms are underneath the cape
• B. The cape is removed after every step
• C. The cape is tied tightly around the neck only
• D. The cape is replaced every 5 minutes

Answer: (A)

Keeping the cape in place with the client's arms under it is essential because it protects the client’s clothing from hair, moisture, and products while you work. This setup also prevents the cape from riding up and keeps hair or chemical runoff away from the skin, ensuring full coverage as you move around the chair. The cape should remain on throughout the service; removing it after every step, tying it only around the neck, or replacing it every few minutes would leave the client exposed and disrupt the workflow. Secure the cape properly at the neck so it drapes smoothly and stays in place, with the client’s arms under it for consistent coverage.
