If you wear contact lenses and have preferences about the towel or reclining position, tell your barber before the service. The aim is clear communication about your comfort rather than an assumption about what you need.

What to discuss

Explain any instructions you normally follow and ask how the towel will be placed. If you need to make an adjustment yourself, agree on that before the barber begins. A simple stop signal also makes it clear how to pause without sudden movement.

Plan your appointment

Do not rely on a barber appointment for eye-care advice or assume the same arrangement suits every contact-lens wearer. Follow the guidance relevant to your lenses and clarify the grooming setup with the team. If the shave accompanies a haircut or perm, include these preferences in the initial consultation rather than leaving them until the final stage.
