When should a barber recommend a specific hair product to a client?

Recommending a specific hair product to a client is most effective after assessing the client’s hair type and needs. This approach ensures that the recommendation is tailored to the individual's specific hair characteristics and desired outcomes. By understanding factors such as hair texture, scalp condition, and styling habits, the barber can suggest products that will best enhance the client's appearance and maintain the health of their hair.

This personalized evaluation not only builds trust between the barber and the client, but it also demonstrates professionalism and expertise. Clients appreciate recommendations that take their unique characteristics into account, as this can lead to improved satisfaction with both the haircut and the hair care routine. Choosing products without prior assessment, such as doing so sporadically or based solely on sales, would not provide the same level of thoughtful care and could lead to unsatisfactory results.
