Which term describes the specific requirements and desires expressed by the client?

Understanding client needs centers on the explicit requirements and desires the client communicates for their treatment. These needs guide how you tailor a facial massage—what techniques to use, the level of pressure, areas to focus on or avoid, product choices, and any contraindications—so the session meets the client's goals and comfort. This helps ensure safety, effectiveness, and satisfaction. For contrast, expected sensations refer to what the client anticipates feeling during the treatment, which is about experience rather than overall goals; personal space relates to boundaries and privacy; and therapist-salon profit is a business consideration, not about the client's treatment needs.
