Which protective item guards the hands and skin and should be used for all waxing appointments?

• A. Headband/hairnet
• B. Apron
• C. Single-use gloves
• D. Client Gown

Answer: (C)

Protective gloves provide a necessary barrier for the hands and the client’s skin, key for hygiene and safety in every waxing service. They’re single-use, discarded after each client to prevent cross-contamination and infection. While headbands, aprons, and client gowns protect hair or clothing, they don’t offer the direct hand-to-skin protection required throughout the waxing process. Gloves also help keep wax residues off the skin and reduce irritation from contact with other substances.
