CURRENTLY TESTING EXAM WITH ACCURATE ACTUAL
REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH DETAILED
RATIONALES FOR GUARANTEED PASS | LATEST UPDATE
1) 99% isopropyl alcohol is not an __________ registered disinfectant.
A. FDA
B. CDC
C. OSHA
D. EPA
Correct: D (EPA).
Rationale: EPA registers disinfectants for environmental surfaces. 99% isopropyl alcohol is not
EPA-registered for surface disinfection; EPA-listed products are typically specific formulations
(often ~70% alcohol) validated for efficacy.
2) A.B. Moler is important in the history of barbering because he:
A. Opened the first state board office
B. Published the first barbering textbook
C. Invented the safety razor
D. Founded the National Education Council
Correct: B.
Rationale: A.B. Moler authored the first systematic barbering textbook, helping standardize
training and education.
,3) According to current trends, barbers must be prepared to meet a variety of _________
preferences.
A. Female
B. Senior
C. Male
D. Pediatric
Correct: C.
Rationale: Market demand emphasizes diverse male grooming preferences (beards, fades,
texture, color, skin services).
4) Acids and alkalis mixed together in equal proportions:
A. Create heat and expand hair
B. Neutralize each other
C. Form salts that raise pH
D. Become a stronger alkali
Correct: B.
Rationale: Acid + base in equal equivalents neutralize to water and a salt, balancing pH.
5) The adjustable lamp on a manicuring table should have a _______ watt bulb.
A. 25
B. 40
C. 60
D. 75
Correct: B (40).
Rationale: Standard guidance is about 40 W for adequate visibility without excessive heat/glare.
,6) After tools are sanitized, they should be stored in:
A. An open station for quick drying
B. A closed drawer with used tools
C. A clean and closed container
D. A sealed plastic bag with moisture
Correct: C.
Rationale: Clean, closed containers protect sanitized tools from re-contamination.
7) Alkalis have a pH above 7.0 and they _______ and _________ the hair.
A. Harden; flatten
B. Soften; swell
C. Shrink; seal
D. Neutralize; acidify
Correct: B.
Rationale: Alkaline products open the cuticle, soften the hair, and swell the shaft to allow
penetration.
8) The current that produces a mechanical (toning) effect with no chemical change is:
A. Galvanic
B. Sinusoidal (faradic)
C. Tesla high frequency
D. Microcurrent
Correct: B (Faradic).
Rationale: Faradic/sinusoidal is alternating/interrupted current used for muscle stimulation
without chemical action.
, 9) Amino acids are joined end-to-end by:
A. Hydrogen bonds
B. Salt links
C. Peptide bonds
D. Disulfide bonds
Correct: C.
Rationale: Peptide (end) bonds link amino acids into chains.
10) Amino acids joined by end bonds form a:
A. Keratin helix
B. Polypeptide chain
C. Hydrogen matrix
D. Salt-link lattice
Correct: B.
Rationale: Multiple peptide bonds create polypeptide chains, the backbone of keratin.
11) Ammonia is a colorless gas composed of:
A. Carbon and hydrogen
B. Hydrogen and nitrogen
C. Oxygen and hydrogen
D. Nitrogen and carbon
Correct: B.
Rationale: NH₃ contains nitrogen + hydrogen.
12) Ammonia-free waves are NOT characterized by:
