This is a self-learning module for Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) Grade 9 Barbering, Quarter 1, Module 1, Lesson 4: Perform Post-service Activities. It is part of the module Performing Pre- and Post-Hair Care Activities and was developed by DepEd Region IX (First Edition, 2020) for home-based learning. After this lesson, learners will know how to clean a barbershop, sanitize and store tools, and segregate waste after serving a client.
On this page 7 sections
What learners will learn
The module focuses on LO 4, Perform Post-service Activities. By the end of the lesson, learners are expected to:
- Clean premises according to OHSS (Occupational Health and Safety Standards) requirements
- Sanitize tools and materials according to OHS standards
- Store equipment according to OHSS requirements
- Segregate waste materials according to OHSS
Words to learn
- Disinfectant: a chemical liquid that destroys bacteria
- Hazard: a danger or risk
- Launder: to wash, or wash and iron, clothes or linens
- Premises: a building and its land used by a business
- Sanitation: conditions relating to public health
- Segregate: to set apart or divide
- Sterilize: to make something free from bacteria and other microorganisms
- Reduce, reuse, recycle: use less, use again, and turn waste into reusable material
Key ideas: cleaning the shop and the tools
Cleaning the premises
- After every client, everything must be clean and in its proper place.
- Follow a regular cleaning schedule for bench tops, mirrors, chairs, drawers, basins, sinks, floors, and skirting boards, using a detergent-based cleaner.
- Wash mops and cleaning equipment in detergent and water, and store them dry.
- Disinfectants are not for routine cleaning. Use them only when blood or other body fluid has touched a surface, after first cleaning it with detergent and water, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Sweep all hair from the floor as soon as possible after each client and put it in a lidded, general waste bin.
- Keep a regular pest control program.
- If a client’s skin touches a surface, clean and disinfect it right after the service.
Cleaning tools and equipment
All tools used on one customer must be cleaned and sterilized before use on the next. Shaving blades go into a sharps container after each client and must never be reused.
- Combs, brushes, and rollers: remove hair, rinse under warm running water, scrub while immersed in warm water and detergent (to reduce splashing), rinse in warm to hot water, dry with a clean cloth, and inspect.
- Scissors: wipe off hair with a cloth, paying attention to the hinge joint, clean as the manufacturer instructs, and dry.
- Clippers: brush off hair, wipe all parts with a 70% alcohol preparation, and let dry. Clippers are the one exception to washing with detergent first, because water can corrode the clipper heads; alcohol evaporates and does not corrode.
- Electrical and electronic tools: remove detachable parts, wipe off residue and hair, and disinfect the body, handle, cord, and parts with an EPA-registered, hospital-level disinfectant, leaving surfaces wet for the contact time on the label.
The module also gives a table of cleaning requirements. For example, towels and cloth capes are laundered after each client, dye mixing bowls are washed and stored dry, tools exposed to blood are cleaned as soon as possible (after attending to the injury), and the equipment trolley is cleaned at least weekly and covered when not in use.
Key ideas: storage and waste segregation
Storing items
- Store cleaned and disinfected tools in a clean, dry, debris-free place such as drawers, cases, tool belts, or rolling trays, away from used tools.
- Use each towel, robe, and linen only once, then launder it in hot water with detergent, dry it on the hottest setting, and store it in a clean, covered container.
- Keep used towels, linens, and capes in closed containers labeled “used.”
- Store disinfected electrical tools on a clean surface, stand, hook, or in a closed container, cupboard, or drawer.
Segregating waste
- Good practice: set up a recycling station so staff and clients can separate waste.
- Reduce: use pump dispensers or measures, mix only what you need, empty bottles fully, and text or email appointments instead of using paper slips.
- Reuse: buy in bulk to refill dispensers, choose pumps over aerosols, and reuse cut hair to make wigs.
- Recycle: keep paper, metal, plastic, and glass separate for collection.
- Hazardous waste: seal each item in a plastic bag, use separate bins for each hazard category, label bins with the start date and hazard type, and store them in a clean area away from heavy traffic and electrical panels.
How to use this module
- Answer the 10-item pretest (What I Know) to check what you already know.
- Do What’s In (describe two barbershops) and What’s New (a table on cleanliness, sanitation, storage, and waste segregation).
- Study What is It, then do Activity 1 (a word search of 10 terms) and Activity 2 (Get Me A Pair, a matching activity).
- Answer the three questions in What I Have Learned and sort eight statements in What I Can Do.
- Take the 10-item Assessment, then do the Additional Activity: trim a family member’s hair and record the post-service steps you followed. It is scored with a rubric on completion and correctness.
Learners should write answers in an activity notebook or separate sheet, not on the module, and check their work honestly with the answer key at the end. Parents can help by supervising the home haircut activity and the cleanup that follows. Teachers can use the rubric to grade the additional activity.
Frequently asked questions
What grade and quarter is this barbering module for?
It is for TLE Grade 9 Barbering, Quarter 1, Module 1, Lesson 4, titled Perform Post-service Activities.
What are the four post-service activities in this lesson?
Cleaning the premises, sanitizing tools and materials, storing equipment, and segregating waste, all according to occupational health and safety standards.
Why should clippers be cleaned with alcohol instead of water?
Water can get into the clipper heads and cause corrosion. Alcohol-based products evaporate and are non-corrosive, so the module recommends a 70% alcohol wipe.
Does the module have an answer key?
Yes. It includes answers for the pretest, the Get Me A Pair activity, What I Can Do, and the Assessment.
Can blades be reused for shaving?
No. Blades used for shaving, including neck shaving, must be put into a sharps container after each client and never reused.

What’s New
PROBLEMS. What do you know about these? The following are problems that hair salon/barber shops need to face. What should we do about them?
Copy this table in your activity notebook and complete this table by writing your answers in the columns provided for.
| Problem | What we know | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Cleanliness | ||
| Sanitation | ||
| Storage of tools/materials/equipment | ||
| Waste Segregation |
What is It
Words to learn:
- Disinfectant – a chemical liquid that destroys bacteria.
- Hazard – a danger or risk.
- Launder – wash, or wash and iron, (clothes or linens).
- Premises – a house or building, together with its land and outbuildings, occupied by a business or considered in an official context.
- Sanitation – conditions relating to public health, especially the provision of clean drinking water and adequate sewage disposal.
- Segregate – set apart from the rest or from each other; isolate or divide.
- Sterilize – make (something) free from bacteria or other living microorganisms.
- Reduce – make smaller or less in amount, degree, or size.
- Reuse – the action of using something again.
- Recycle – convert (waste) into reusable material.
Premises cleaning
a. After every service of a client, everything must be in its proper place – clean.
b. A routine and regular cleaning schedule of the premises is required. Routine cleaning should include:
- cleaning of bench tops, mirrors, chairs, drawers, basins, sinks, floors and skirting boards;
- use of a detergent based cleaner;
- mops and other cleaning equipment must be washed in detergent and water and stored dry after use.
c. Disinfectants are not to be used for routine environmental cleaning as they do not have cleaning properties. They should only be used when blood or other body fluid has contaminated a surface. The surface must be cleaned with detergent and water prior to the application of the disinfectant. Disinfectants should be used as per manufacturer’s instructions.
d. All hair must be swept from the floor as soon as possible after each client and disposed of immediately into a lidded, general waste bin.
e. Equipment used for cleaning the premises must be kept clean and in good repair.
f. A regular pest control program should be undertaken to ensure the control of pests.
IMPORTANT: If a client’s skin comes in contact with a surface, you must clean and disinfect the surface immediately after the service.
Equipment Cleaning
All tools used on a customer shall be cleaned and sterilized before it will be used to another customer. Combs shall be cleaned after each customer use.
Equipment must be cleaned after each client use.
Blades used for shaving, including neck shaving, must be disposed of after each client use into a designated sharps container. Blades must not be reused.
a. Combs, brushes, rollers etc. should be cleaned as follows:
- Remove all visible hair or other materials from the equipment;
- Rinse under warm running water to remove loosened debris;
- Fill a sink or bowl with warm water and detergent;
- The equipment should be immersed and scrubbed under water to minimize aerosols and splashing;
- Rinse in warm to hot water to remove any residue;
- All equipment should be dried after the cleaning process using a clean dry cloth; and
- Visually inspect the cleanliness of all items.
b. Scissors should be cleaned after each client as follows:
- Using a cloth remove all visible hair, paying attention to the hinge joint;
- Clean as per manufacturer’s instructions; and
- Dry with a clean cloth.
c. Clipper cleaning
- Using a small brush remove any hair from the clippers;
- Wipe over all parts of the clippers with a 70% alcohol preparation (small alcohol wipes in individual sachets are ideal for this); and
- Allow to dry before reusing.
Important: Clipper cleaning is the only exception to the rule of cleaning with a detergent based product prior to applying a disinfectant. The use of water on clippers may lead to corrosion, due to the water penetrating the clipper heads. Use alcohol-based products instead. They evaporate and are non-corrosive.
To clean and disinfect electrical and electronic tools, after each use:
a. Remove all removable parts (plastic guards, nonmetal removable parts, metal guards, clipper blades, etc.).
b. Wipe or brush all product residue, hair, and other visible debris from the surface of the tool.
c. Disinfect the item’s surfaces (including body, handle, and cord) and removable parts with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered, hospital-level disinfectant spray or wipe.
d. Clipper blades that are not detachable must have the hair removed using a disinfected brush or a blade wash, and the clipper blade must be disinfected with a hospital-level disinfectant spray. The surfaces must remain wet with the spray or wipe disinfectant for the contact time listed on the disinfectant label. As always, you must follow the manufacturer’s directions.

| Equipment trolley | Prevention of dust and hairs from accumulating or contaminating clean equipment | At least weekly, more frequently if required | Use cloth to remove hair. Wash with warm water and detergent. Dry with cloth | Cover when not in use |
Storing Items
After a hairdo to a client, all utensils/tools and material used must be cleaned and disinfected then stored in a clean, dry, debris-free environment which includes but not limited to drawers, cases, tool belt, rolling trays. They must be stored separate from soiled or used utensils/tools.
Disinfected items must not meet contaminated or non-disinfected items. This includes the items you prepare to use right before a service; they must not meet surfaces that have not been disinfected.
a. Laundered Items Each towel, robe, and linen used to cover or protect customers must be used only once and then be:
- Laundered with detergent and hot water in a washing machine
- Dried on the hottest setting in a clothes dryer
- Immediately stored in a clean, covered container
- Plastic or nylon capes and aprons may be washed in a machine and dried on any setting in a dryer or may be disinfected with a spray disinfectant.
- You must store used or soiled towels, linens, and capes in closed containers labeled “used.”
- Towels and other laundered items must be properly cleaned and stored. A commercial linen service shall be used if not done on the premises.
b. Shears and Razors Shears and razors are not required to be washed, but must be wiped to remove hair, product residue, and skin debris, and then disinfected with an EPA-registered, hospital-level disinfectant spray or wipe after each use. The surfaces must remain wet with the spray or wipe disinfectant for the contact time listed on the disinfectant label.
c. Electrical and Electronic Tools Electric clippers, flat irons, blow dryers, high frequency wands, esthetic machines, steamers, diffusers, or other electric or electronic tools must be cleaned and disinfected after each use, including the body, handle, and attached cord.
Disinfected electrical and electronic tools must be stored when not in use. Acceptable storage includes a clean and disinfected surface, stand or hook, or closed container, cupboard, or drawer.
Waste Segregation
Good practice
Set up a recycling station in your workplace and make sure you can separate the types of waste you produce. Make sure staff use it and encourage clients to use it too.
This will allow you to reuse or recycle key materials. Once you can see what types of waste you produce, and what makes up the most of your waste, you can take steps to reduce waste.
You can look at ways to avoid producing waste in the first place.
Reduce waste
Use products carefully – consider dispensing products in measured amounts using pump dispensers or measures. This will reduce the volume of waste produced, and over time this will amount to savings on waste costs.
Using less shampoo, dyes, and other products can be done without reducing the quality of the service. Mix only what you need, and always completely empty product bottles before discarding. It will reduce waste, and the number of products ending up in the sewers.
Try and use products with a longer shelf-life.
You could reduce paper use, by emailing or texting clients’ appointments rather than giving paper slips.
Paper towels are often used in salons to prevent hair and hand dryers from blowing dust and chemicals around. These could be replaced with paper dispensers that will deliver a single sheet at a time. This prevents numerous towels being pulled out at once.
Reuse
Look for products that you can buy in bulk and use to refill dispensers. This prevents throwing out containers, bottles and cans.
Use pump dispensers instead of aerosols – this means the dispensers can be refilled instead of throwing away cans.
Cut hair can be reused to make wigs and you will be contributing to a good cause.
Recycle
All waste collectors, when collecting wastepaper, metal, plastic or glass must ensure that those wastes are collected separately. To ensure this takes place efficiently and effectively you should take all measures possible to segregate your wastes.
Hazardous Waste Best Practices
The most important and first step salon or spa owners and managers should take is making sure a waste management compliance program is set in place. Below are several best practices for bagging, separating and storing hazardous waste items that will help ensure the safety and compliance of your program:
a. Properly seal items. Prior to storing any hazardous waste items in a bin, place them individually in a sealed plastic bag. This will keep items from mixing and causing a reaction.
b. Use separate bins. Incompatible hazardous waste items must remain separate. It’s recommended to use designated bins for each type of hazardous waste category: aerosols and flammables, toxics, corrosive acidic, corrosive alkaline (basic), oxidizers and universal waste.
c. Label containers properly. Once the initial item is placed within a bin, label the container as hazardous waste and include the accumulation start date and an indication of the hazardous characteristic of the waste. Should an inspector ever visit your salon, proper labeling is one of the first things they will evaluate.
d. Scout a safe storage area. Store accumulation bins in a dedicated, clean and neatly organized hazardous waste area. Make sure bins are stored away from heavy traffic areas, electrical panels, perishable or consumable product storage and dock doors. Once stored properly, hazardous waste disposal should be done in accordance with state and local regulations.
