For a first-time client requesting an underarm wax, draping guidelines indicate you should which action?

• A. Ask her to change into a gown, removing only her top
• B. Have her remove all clothing
• C. Drape with a sheet only
• D. Proceed without draping

Answer: (A)

Maintaining client modesty and proper draping is essential for a waxing service, especially for a first visit. The best approach is to have her change into a gown and remove only the top, so you can access and treat the underarm while the rest of her body remains covered. Draping with a sheet over the gown allows privacy and helps prevent wax or heat from contacting clothing or skin outside the treatment area, exposing only what’s needed. Removing all clothing would unnecessarily reveal more than is appropriate and isn’t required for this service. Draping with just a sheet without first having appropriate coverage can leave parts of the body exposed beyond the treatment area. Proceeding without draping is unsafe and unprofessional because it disregards privacy and consent.
