    Where should you start the haircut?

    • Side

    • Front

    • Back

    Correct Answer
    A. Back
    Explanation
    To achieve a balanced and even haircut, it is recommended to start cutting from the back. This allows for better control and precision, as it sets the foundation for the rest of the haircut. By starting at the back, you can establish the desired length and shape before moving on to the sides, front, and top. This sequential approach ensures a cohesive and well-blended haircut.

    Correct Answer
    A. Conduct a client consultation.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to conduct a client consultation. This is the first step in the procedure because it is important to understand the client's needs, preferences, and any specific instructions before proceeding with the hair treatment. This helps in ensuring that the client's expectations are met and allows the stylist to provide personalized and satisfactory service.

    Correct Answer
    dispose
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "dispose." In this context, "dispose" means to get rid of or throw away the hair properly. It implies that after sweeping up the hair, it should be discarded in an appropriate manner, such as in a trash bin or designated disposal area.

  • 5. 

    Take extra care when cutting around the ______.

    Correct Answer
    ears
    Explanation
    When cutting around the ears, it is important to exercise caution and be careful. The ears are sensitive and delicate, and any mishap or mistake during the cutting process can lead to injuries or discomfort for the person. Therefore, paying extra attention and being mindful of the ears while cutting is necessary to ensure a safe and satisfactory haircut.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What size of partings should you use?

    • 1/4"-1/2"

    • 1/8"-1/4"

    • 1/2"-3/4"

    • 1"-2"

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/4"-1/2"
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1/4"-1/2". This range of parting sizes is recommended because it allows for a good balance between holding the hair securely in place and allowing for easy removal of the parting when desired. Using partings that are too small may cause the hair to slip out, while using partings that are too large may make it difficult to remove the parting without causing damage to the hair.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    You should over direct the hair while cutting...

    • Forward

    • Never

    • Backward

    • Diagonal

    Correct Answer
    A. Never
    Explanation
    Over directing the hair while cutting means pulling the hair away from its natural fall in order to create more length or volume. However, the correct answer states "never," which implies that over directing the hair should never be done while cutting. This could be because over directing the hair can lead to uneven or unnatural results, and it is generally recommended to work with the natural fall of the hair for a more balanced and harmonious haircut.
