Abstract: Disclosed is a protective cover combination for professional use in hair salons wherein a relatively small separate top cover accessory is secured about a person's neck at a position above the collar portion of a hair dressing cape and any towel captured under and extending over the rear of the collar portion. The top cover accessory comprises a pliable waterproof material having first and second ends with a cover portion therebetween, and covers portions of the cape and the exposed portions of the towel by extending over substantial portions of the shoulders and upper back of the person. The first end comprises a generally U-shaped neck-receiving portion having a border secured thereto which forms a narrow fluid-tight seal about rear and side portions of the neck when its extensions are tied about the front of the neck.
