Maine Barber Practice Exam

The purpose of a neck strip in barbering is primarily to protect the client's skin. This strip is typically made of a disposable material that is placed around the client's neck before a haircut or shave. It serves several important functions: it helps to create a barrier between hair clippings and the client's skin, which can prevent irritation and discomfort caused by stray hairs; it minimizes the chance of any hair or product getting on the client's clothing; and it ensures a clean and professional look during the service. By providing this protection, the neck strip enhances the overall client experience and hygiene during the barbering process.
