Texas Manicurist State Board Exam. Each question is presented in a very dark royal red to
enhance readability and focus.
1. What is the primary protein that forms the structure of the nail plate?
Answer: Keratin
Explanation: The nail plate is primarily composed of keratin, a tough, fibrous protein
that provides strength and durability. This protein is also found in hair and skin, con-
tributing to their structural integrity. Understanding nail composition is essential for safe
manicure practices.
2. What action should a manicurist take if a client has an asymmetrical, multi-colored
mole on their hand?
Answer: Refer the client to a dermatologist
Explanation: An asymmetrical mole with multiple colors may indicate a potential skin
cancer, such as melanoma. Manicurists must avoid working on or near such areas and
recommend medical evaluation to ensure client safety.
3. What is the function of the position stop on a nail tip?
Answer: Guides proper placement on the natural nail
Explanation: The position stop is a raised edge on a nail tip that aligns with the natural
nails free edge, ensuring secure and accurate application. This prevents misalignment
and enhances the durability of the nail enhancement.
4. When is a new salon license required according to TDLR regulations?
Answer: Upon change of ownership or location
Explanation: TDLR mandates a new salon license when ownership changes or the salon
relocates to ensure compliance with safety and operational standards under new manage-
ment or premises.
5. Why should cuticle nipping be avoided for clients with compromised immune sys-
tems?
Answer: It increases infection risk
Explanation: Nipping cuticles can create open wounds, making clients with weakened
immune systems more susceptible to bacterial or fungal infections. Gentle pushing of
cuticles is a safer alternative.
