The service most affected by the temperature of water used during shampooing is indeed shampooing itself. The temperature of the water can greatly influence the effectiveness of the shampoo.

When using warm water, it helps to open the hair cuticles, allowing the shampoo to penetrate more effectively and remove dirt, oil, and product buildup. This results in a more thorough cleanse and prepares the hair for any subsequent treatments or styling. Conversely, if the water is too cool, it may not remove oils effectively and could leave residue, which can affect the cleanliness of the hair and scalp.

In addition, water temperature can also impact the client's comfort. Too hot water can lead to irritation of the scalp or even dryness, while water that is too cold may not provide the desired relaxing experience. Therefore, controlling the water temperature during shampooing is critical for achieving optimal cleansing results and ensuring a pleasant experience for the client.

This focus on shampooing directly relates to the effectiveness of the service, while options such as hair coloring, scalp massage, and drying are less directly influenced by water temperature during the shampooing process itself.
