When should a barber provide aftercare advice to a client?

Providing aftercare advice to a client is essential following any hair or skin service because it ensures that clients understand how to maintain and care for their new look or treatment. This guidance can include tips on how to care for their hair, any products they should use or avoid, and specific actions to take or refrain from to prolong the results of the service.

By delivering aftercare advice immediately after the service, the barber can address any immediate concerns and tailor the advice based on the specific techniques or products used during the service. This timing allows for clarification and ensures that clients leave with the knowledge they need to keep their hair or skin in optimal condition.

In contrast, offering advice before the service or only during special promotions does not directly relate to the immediate care required after a treatment. While consultations are important for discussing expectations and potential outcomes, the focus of aftercare is best suited for the conclusion of the service, where specific, personalized advice can be provided based on the results.
