PATRON’S CARE

Patron’s care is essential to your success as a hairdresser. It is an

important part of all that you do for the patron in the salon. It involves
concern for your patron, and genuinely wanting to meet all his/her needs
satisfactorily.

Patron’s care means looking after his/her safety and making sure
that he/she is comfortable, satisfied with the service and safely attended.
This begins when the client/patron enters the salon and continues until
he/she leaves.

For patron’s care to be fully attended to, an initial consultation is

essential. This applies to both new and regular patrons.

Consultation

A consultation is a meeting at which advice is given and taken,

consists of talking to the patron, listening to her so that you can consider
her needs and jointly negotiating a suitable course of action. You will be
expected to exchange views with her, and to discuss with her just what is
to be done with her hair.
2
 TIPS

 Good client care starts with careful

consultation.
 Record all client information.
 Ensure that it is easy to retrieve.

Patrons expect the salon to be clean. They expect that good hygiene is
maintained.

There are various kinds of hair and scalp treatment, the two most
common kinds are:

Hair Spa – a component of hair and scalp treatment that contains

curative mineral /spring water that relaxes hair, making it relieved
from any form of hair tension
Hair Reborn – a hair treatment given to maintain its healthy condition
that brings hair back to its normal desired condition
Hot Oil Treatment – a hair treatment is given to patron who suffers dry
and brittle hair to prevent the occurrence of split ends

Ask the patron which hair and scalp treatment he/she prefers, as this
may need different kinds of materials and treatment products to be used.

Ways to Keep the salon Hygienically Clean

• Use only clean towels and gowns for each patron.

• Wash combs and brushes before sterilizing or disinfecting them.
• Use 70% alcohol for cleaning tools.
• Keep floors and surfaces clear, tidy and clean.
• Maintain good personal and general hygiene.
• Wash your hands regularly.

PREPARING THE PATRONS

Once patron has arrived for an appointment and you have taken
care of his/her belongings, find out what services have been requested
and prepare patron accordingly.

• Check if the chair/seat is clean.

• Place tissue or towel over the patron’s collar and
shoulders.
• Place a suitably sized gown, and secure it.
• Make sure all the patron’s clothes are covered.
• All materials are secured so that they remain in place.
3
Preparing Hair and Scalp

Hair needs to be free from tangles.

• Loose the hair apart with your fingers.

• Using a wide-toothed comb, start combing the hair,
upward to the scalp.
• Remove tangles without pulling, scratching or breaking
the comb.
• Brush and comb hair smoothly without jerking the
patron’s head.
• Check on the scalp for abrasions or blemishes.

PREPARING TOOLS / EQUIPMENT

Choose a comb that is unbroken, flexible, well balanced,

nonflammable, resistant to chemicals, and easy to clean. It should have
widely spaced teeth, and have no mould marks or sharp edges.

Use only good quality tools to avoid damaging the hair and apply
them gently and correctly.

A good brush will penetrate and grip the hair and allow you to
place the hair where you want it.
