Which item would not typically be required when setting up a facial bar?

• A. A robe
• B. Towels
• C. Mirrors
• D. Cleaning supplies

Answer: (A)

Setting up a facial bar focuses on items that support a clean, safe, and comfortable service. Towels are used for draping and protecting the client’s clothing, providing warmth and modesty throughout the facial. Mirrors let the client see results and help the esthetician demonstrate steps or product effects. Cleaning supplies are essential to sanitize surfaces and tools, keeping the workspace hygienic before, during, and after the treatment. A robe isn’t needed to perform a facial—it's more of an optional comfort item for aftercare or lounging, not a basic setup requirement. So, a robe is not typically required.
