Chemical treatments can be particularly harsh on sensitive skin due to its lower tolerance for irritants and potential for adverse reactions. Clients with sensitive skin often experience reactions such as redness, stinging, or burning, which can be exacerbated by various chemical formulations used in beauty services. Barbers should be aware of the unique needs of these clients and take extra precautions, such as conducting patch tests or selecting milder formulations, to ensure their safety and comfort.

In contrast, while oily skin may have certain considerations pertaining to treatment options, it is generally more resilient to chemical processes. Normal skin typically responds well to a range of treatments without significant risk. Dry skin, though it can be sensitive to certain chemicals, does not inherently require the same level of caution as sensitive skin does. Thus, sensitivity is the key factor that increases the risk during chemical treatments, making this skin type the most critical to handle carefully.
