Facial TreatmentsQuestion 76 of 100
What is the purpose of properly draping a client and covering the eyes during a facial?
a.It is only a matter of the salon's visual presentation
b.It substitutes for cleaning the treatment bed between clients
c.It allows the esthetician to skip the consultation
d.It protects the client's clothing and hair, maintains modesty and comfort, and shields the eyes from steam, bright lamps, and LED or other light sources
Explanation
Draping keeps product off clothing and hair, preserves the client's comfort and dignity, and eye protection prevents injury from steam, magnifying lamps, and light-emitting devices. Draping is a hygiene and safety measure, not decoration, and it never replaces cleaning and re-covering the treatment bed with fresh linens or a consultation.
