What should a client determine regarding water temperature for shampooing and conditioning services?

For shampooing and conditioning services, clients should choose the water temperature they prefer because personal comfort plays a significant role in their overall experience. Each client may have different sensitivities to temperature, so what feels warm and soothing to one individual might feel too hot or cold to another. By allowing clients to select their ideal water temperature, stylists can ensure that the client feels comfortable and relaxed throughout the service, which can enhance satisfaction and the effectiveness of the hair care products being used. This approach also encourages clients to communicate their preferences, fostering a collaborative relationship between stylist and client.

In addition, while lukewarm water is often recommended in many cases to avoid scalp irritation and to help with the emulsification of products, it is not a strict requirement that all clients must adhere to. Flexible options accommodating personal preference, rather than imposing a specific temperature, can lead to a more enjoyable salon experience.
