Why is a towel or neck strip placed under a cape?

A towel or neck strip is placed under a cape to create a barrier between the client's skin and the cape, ensuring hygiene and comfort. It helps absorb any moisture or hair that may fall during the service, preventing irritation. Additionally, it protects the client's clothing from hair clippings, product spills, and other potential messes. This practice promotes a more pleasant experience for the client.
