Why is it important to drape clients during a haircut?

Draping clients during a haircut is essential primarily because it protects their clothing and skin from hair clippings and products used during the service. By using a cape or appropriate drape, hairstylists can ensure that hair clippings do not accumulate on the client's clothes, which could cause discomfort and require additional clean-up afterward. Moreover, draping also helps in safeguarding the client's skin from any potentially irritating hair products, dyes, or chemicals that might be applied during the haircutting process. This protective measure enhances the overall experience for the client by reducing the mess and any risk of irritation, contributing to a more enjoyable and professional service.
