When is the chemical cape removed from the client during a chemical service?

The correct timing for removing the chemical cape from the client during a chemical service is after the application is complete. This procedure is essential because the chemical cape is designed to protect the client’s clothing and skin from any potential drips or spills during the application of chemical treatments. Once the application is fully completed, it is safe to remove the cape without the risk of contacting the chemicals that may still be on the hair or in the processing stage.

Removing the cape too soon could lead to clothing or skin being exposed to the chemicals, which could cause irritation or staining. Therefore, the appropriate protocol is to keep the cape on throughout the entire application to ensure cleanliness and safety, removing it only once the treatment has been fully applied and is set to process.
