What should a barber do if a client presents with an unusual hair texture?

When a client presents with an unusual hair texture, conducting a specialized consultation and analysis is essential. This approach allows the barber to understand the unique characteristics and specific needs of the client's hair. Different hair textures may require distinct techniques, products, and tools to achieve the desired style or service effectively.

By performing a thorough consultation, the barber can assess the hair's condition, such as its density, porosity, and elasticity. This information will guide the barber in selecting appropriate products and methods that will work best for the client's hair type. Additionally, engaging in this dialogue fosters a positive client-barber relationship, demonstrating the barber's commitment to providing personalized and quality service. This proactive and tailored approach ensures the client leaves satisfied with the results and can help prevent potential issues or damage that could arise from using generic techniques on atypical hair textures.
