Which is the correct method for removing sculptured nails?
- A.
Clip them off with scissors
- B.
File them off with an emery board
- C.
Apply a solvent and push them off
- D.
Use a non-acetone nail polish remover
Correct Answer
C. Apply a solvent and push them offExplanation
The correct method for removing sculptured nails is to apply a solvent and push them off. This is because sculptured nails are typically made of acrylic or gel, which cannot be easily clipped or filed off. Instead, a solvent is used to break down the adhesive that holds the nails in place, allowing them to be gently pushed off without causing damage to the natural nails. Using a non-acetone nail polish remover may also be effective, as it can help dissolve the adhesive without drying out the nails.Rate this question:

This is because starting at the neck allows the cream to be evenly distributed and removes any dirt or impurities from the neck area. Working upward ensures that the cream is applied against gravity, helping to lift and cleanse the skin effectively. This method also helps to stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, promoting a healthy complexion.Rate this question:

Soft water is preferrable to hard water for shampooing because it
- A.
Holds its temperature better
- B.
Works up a better lather
- C.
Feels softer on the client's skin
- D.
Leaves an attractive residue behind
Correct Answer
B. Works up a better latherExplanation
Soft water is preferable to hard water for shampooing because it works up a better lather. Hard water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium that can react with the ingredients in shampoo, making it difficult to create a rich and foamy lather. On the other hand, soft water has a lower mineral content, allowing the shampoo to easily mix with water and form a good lather. This lather helps to evenly distribute the shampoo throughout the hair, ensuring better cleaning and rinsing, resulting in cleaner and healthier hair.Rate this question:

On which type of hair should you use an acid-balanced perm?
- A.
Coarse, resistant hair
- B.
Highlighted or tinted hair
- C.
Normal hair
- D.
Fine, resistant hair
Correct Answer
B. Highlighted or tinted hairExplanation
An acid-balanced perm should be used on highlighted or tinted hair because it is more delicate and prone to damage. The acid-balanced perm has a lower pH level, which is gentler on the hair and helps to preserve the color and condition of the hair. Using a regular perm on highlighted or tinted hair could cause the color to fade or become damaged.Rate this question:

One hour before the hair coloring service
- C.
24-48 hours before the hair coloring service
- D.
Immediately after the hair coloring service
Correct Answer
C. 24-48 hours before the hair coloring serviceExplanation
A patch test should be given 24-48 hours before the hair coloring service to determine whether a client is allergic to an aniline derivative tint. This timeframe allows for any potential allergic reactions to develop and be identified before the actual hair coloring service takes place. Giving the patch test immediately before or after the hair coloring service would not allow sufficient time to detect any allergic reactions.Rate this question:

For a client with very light skin, you should choose a foundation that is
- A.
A shade lighter than the natural skin tone
- B.
The same as the natural skin tone
- C.
A shade darker then the natural skin tone
- D.
A rosy shade
Correct Answer
B. The same as the natural skin toneExplanation
For a client with very light skin, it is recommended to choose a foundation that is the same as their natural skin tone. This is because using a shade lighter than their natural skin tone may result in an unnatural and washed-out appearance. Similarly, using a shade darker may create a stark contrast and make their skin look muddy or uneven. Therefore, selecting a foundation that matches their natural skin tone will help create a seamless and natural-looking finish.Rate this question:

The correct way to test the color of a foundation is to blend some of it on the client's
- A.
Cheek
- B.
Nose
- C.
Jaw line
- D.
Earlobe
Correct Answer
C. Jaw lineExplanation
The correct answer is "jaw line" because this is the area where the foundation should be applied to match the client's skin tone seamlessly. The jaw line is a good reference point as it is visible and allows for an accurate assessment of how well the foundation blends with the natural skin color. Applying foundation on the cheek, nose, or earlobe may not provide an accurate representation of how it will look on the face as these areas may have different undertones or shades compared to the jaw line.Rate this question:

- A.
Very cool with no red highlights
- B.
Lighter than the desired shade
- C.
Black or very dark brown
- D.
Darker than the desired shade
Correct Answer
B. Lighter than the desired shadeExplanation
Semi-permanent color only deposits color onto the hair and does not lighten it. Therefore, if you want to achieve a desired shade with semi-permanent color, you should select a color that is lighter than the desired shade. This allows the color to deposit onto the hair without lifting any existing color, resulting in the desired shade.Rate this question:

- A.
Outer corner of the eye
- B.
Center of the eye
- C.
Inner corner of the eye
- D.
Cheekbone
Correct Answer
B. Center of the eyeExplanation
To create a natural look, it is recommended to apply cheek color no closer to the nose than the center of the eye. This placement allows for a balanced and subtle application of color, enhancing the cheekbones without overpowering the overall look. Applying the cheek color closer to the nose may result in an unnatural or exaggerated appearance, while placing it further towards the outer corner of the eye may not provide the desired effect of a natural flush.

Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lightening
- B.
Hair lighteners are used as preliminary treatments and never by themselves
- C.
Lighteners are not effective in removing undesirable off-shades
- D.
Lightening has no effect on hair's porosity
Correct Answer
A. Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lighteningExplanation
Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lightening because the process of lightening involves stripping the hair of its natural pigment, which can weaken the hair shaft. Dark hair typically contains more pigment, so it may require more intense lightening treatments to achieve a lighter shade, increasing the risk of damage.Rate this question:

- D.
The hair's texture becomes coarse as it ages
Correct Answer
A. The natural color tends to fade as the hair agesExplanation
As hair ages, the natural color tends to fade. This is because the pigment-producing cells in the hair follicles gradually decrease their activity, leading to a loss of color intensity. This is a natural process that occurs over time and is influenced by factors such as genetics and environmental factors.Rate this question:

- B.
The hair should be lighter on the surface than underneath
- C.
The hair around the face should be lighter than the crown
- D.
The darker hair should always be the dominant color
Correct Answer
D. The darker hair should always be the dominant colorExplanation
The question asks for a rule that is NOT a basic rule for natural looking hair color. The first three options all suggest that the hair should be lighter in certain areas, either at the base, on the surface, or around the face. However, the last option states that the darker hair should always be the dominant color. This implies that there should be darker hair present in the hair color, which contradicts the idea of natural looking hair color where the hair should generally be lighter. Therefore, the correct answer is that the darker hair should always be the dominant color.Rate this question:

Before lightening a client's hair, it is important to perform a strand test to assess the hair's reaction to the lightening process. Analyzing the hair and scalp helps determine the hair's condition and any potential issues that may affect the lightening process. Putting protective cream around the neckline helps prevent irritation or staining of the skin. However, brushing or combing the hair vigorously is not necessary before lightening the hair and may cause damage or breakage.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Entire head when wetExplanation
In a chemical hair relaxing treatment, the conditioning part is applied to the entire head when wet. This is because wet hair is more porous and can better absorb the conditioning agents, allowing them to penetrate the hair shaft and provide moisture and nourishment to the entire head. Applying the conditioning treatment to the entire head ensures that all the hair strands receive the benefits and helps in achieving a more even and consistent result.Rate this question:
