Providing aftercare instructions is essential immediately after a client’s service because it helps ensure that the client knows how to maintain their hairstyle or care for their skin. Proper aftercare can prevent issues that may arise after a service, such as hair damage or skin irritation, and it helps in providing a better overall client experience.

Aftercare instructions can include tips on product use, maintenance schedules, and any specific precautions the client should take. This proactive communication not only enhances client satisfaction but also builds trust and professionalism in the client-care relationship.

While billing the client, cleaning the work area, and calling the next client are all important steps in the service process, they typically follow the provision of aftercare instructions. Focusing on the client's needs and ensuring they are informed about how to care for their new look or treatment should take priority immediately after the service is completed.
