What condition should your clothing meet in addition to being free of dirt?

The condition that clothing should meet, in addition to being free of dirt, is that it should also be stain-free. Stains can give a negative impression in a professional setting, particularly in hairstyling where cleanliness is crucial. Clothing that is free of stains reflects professionalism and attention to personal hygiene, which is essential in the beauty industry.

While being brand new, color coordinated, or seasonally appropriate may have their benefits, they are not essential requirements for the cleanliness and professionalism expected in a hairstyling environment. Stains can detract from the overall appearance and credibility of a stylist, making "stain-free" the most relevant requirement alongside being dirt-free.
