Arkansas Cosmetology Practice Exam

The most effective and sanitary way to prepare the headrest of chairs for each client is by covering it with a clean towel or paper sheet. Disinfecting with a spray (A) may not remove all of the germs and bacteria present on the headrest, leaving it still potentially unsanitary for the next client. Wiping with alcohol (C) may also not thoroughly clean the surface and can potentially irritate the skin of the client. Leaving it as is for the next client (D) can be unhygienic and can spread germs and bacteria between clients. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it provides a clean and safe barrier between the client and the headrest.
