So be sure to keep everything in a safe distance from you and not hanging off in a corner. So what you also want to remember is you want to drape your client or yourself so what you want to use is a cape that is going to cover your shoulders, arms and you can tuck your arms into and not get anything on them. It's going to cover the back area as well so this is a protectant when using any kind of chemical service. Also one last thing you always want to keep is a towel nearby in case you do drip it on yourself on your skin. Also you want to be in a well ventilated area and if you get any chemicals in your eye, be sure to immediately flush it with cold water, let's go ahead and get started."
