For first-time clients requiring underarm wax, what is the recommended draping action?

• A. Ask client to change into a gown, removing only the top
• B. Have client remove all clothing
• C. Drape with a towel only
• D. Skip draping

Answer: (A)

Draping for underarm waxing centers on maintaining modesty, warmth, and proper access to the area. For a first-time client, the recommended approach is to have them change into a clean gown and remove only the top layer to expose the underarm. This provides easy access to the waxing area while keeping the rest of the body covered, respecting privacy and comfort.

Using only a towel or skipping draping compromises modesty and warmth, and asking the client to remove all clothing goes against professional standards for privacy and hygiene. Keeping the client appropriately draped with a gown ensures a professional and comfortable experience while allowing safe, focused access to the underarm.
