Had to choose between a neck wipe and a hot towel today

This dude came in fresh from a 10 mile run, sweating like crazy. I grabbed the alcohol wipe by reflex but he asked for the heated towel instead. Three minutes later he was asleep in the chair and I had to wake him up to finish his lineup. What would you pick if a client shows up all sweaty?

I read somewhere once that hot towels actually open up your pores way better than alcohol wipes, especially after a workout. The alcohol might kill the smell but it dries out their skin and makes the hair stiffer. With a hot towel you get them relaxed and the hair softens up, which makes the lineup cleaner. But yeah, letting him sleep through it is risky, had a guy snore so loud once I just let him rest an extra ten minutes.

Feel for you man, sometimes you just gotta let them crash out and enjoy the hot towel.
