The purpose of a Towel or neck strip between the drape and the client's skin is to:

  1. Enhance client comfort

  2. Dry the hair

  3. Maintain sanitation standards, conform to state barber laws, and prevent drape contact with client's skin

  4. Measure hair length

The correct answer is: Maintain sanitation standards, conform to state barber laws, and prevent drape contact with client's skin

The purpose of placing a towel or neck strip between the drape and the client's skin is to maintain sanitation standards, conform to state barber laws, and prevent the drape from coming into direct contact with the client's skin. This helps to prevent the spread of bacteria and maintain cleanliness in the barber shop environment. While it may also enhance the client's comfort to some extent, drying the hair and measuring hair length are not the primary purposes of using a towel or neck strip in this scenario.
