What should be the first step in a facials treatment?

The first step in a facial treatment is conducting a consultation with the client. This step is critical as it allows the practitioner to understand the client's skin type, concerns, and any specific needs or preferences they may have. During the consultation, important information can be gathered regarding the client's skincare routine, any allergies or sensitivities, and their goals for the facial. This personalized approach ensures that the treatment is tailored to the individual and can enhance the overall effectiveness of the facial. By establishing this rapport and understanding before beginning the actual treatment, the practitioner can make informed decisions on product selection and techniques used throughout the facial process.
