    Barbers/hairdressers tools....

    To be honest I'm not sure it is a requirement to change combs between clients but I always switch it for a fresh one because if a client is ready for you and they've just seen you finish your last client I just think it's more hygienic to get a fresh one and they might be happier you have too x...

    Barbers/hairdressers tools....

    Hairdressers use barbicide too. They're not always as on show as they are in a barbers. I'm guessing that's because it's just cut after cut in a barbers, so as soon as they've finished one cut they need a fresh comb for the next Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using SalonGeek
