What is the purpose of the Towel, drape, towel method?

  1. Cleaning the salon floor

  2. Drying hair

  3. Draping for a chemical service

  4. Covering salon furniture

The correct answer is: Draping for a chemical service

The purpose of the Towel, drape, towel method is to protect the client's skin and clothing from any potential contact with chemicals during a chemical service. This method involves placing a towel over the client's shoulders, a drape over the towel, and another towel on top. This not only protects the client but also allows for easy cleanup and prevents any potential damage to salon furniture. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not explain the purpose of the method and are unrelated to chemical services.
