It suits learners who want a recognised school-level qualification leading either to entry-level salon work - hair assistant, trainee beauty therapist, nail technician - or to further vocational training. The Assam ASSEB HS Skill Subject Beauty and Wellness study guide has 12 sections and about 4,020 words.
01Introduction to the Beauty and Wellness Sector
This domain tests whether you can describe beauty and wellness as an organised industry - its segments, roles, service standards and the client journey - rather than as isolated treatments. Questions often ask you to place a job title in the correct segment or explain why a salon protocol exists.
367 words, about 2 min02Career Pathways and Professional Ethics
This domain tests your knowledge of how a career in beauty and wellness progresses and the ethical rules that govern every client interaction. Expect questions on job roles, progression routes and what to do when a request falls outside your training.
371 words, about 2 min03Anatomy and Physiology of Skin, Hair and Nails
This domain tests the structure and function of the three tissues you work on: skin, hair and nails. Questions ask you to name layers and structures, link structure to function, and explain why a technique is safe or unsafe.
366 words, about 2 min04Health, Hygiene, Safety and Infection Control in the Salon
This domain tests whether you can break the chain of infection, choose the correct level of decontamination, and manage salon hazards. Exam questions often give a scenario - a cut, a spill, a shared tool - and ask for the correct sequence.
360 words, about 2 min05Hair Care and Hair Styling Services
This domain tests shampooing, conditioning, cutting, styling and basic colouring. Questions link product chemistry and technique to the result, and test whether you can sequence a service safely.
341 words, about 2 min06Skin Care and Facial Treatments
This domain tests skin analysis, the facial sequence, massage movements and the judgement to stop or refer. Expect questions that ask you to choose products from a described skin condition, or to identify a contraindication.
302 words, about 2 min07Makeup Application
This domain tests product knowledge, hygiene, colour theory, face-shape correction and the differences between day, evening and bridal looks. Questions ask you to choose a corrector or place contour for a stated face shape.
347 words, about 2 min08Manicure, Pedicure and Nail Care
This domain tests safe nail preparation, shaping, cuticle care, massage and polish application, plus the ability to recognise when not to treat. Expect scenario questions about diabetes, ingrown nails and fungal infection.
311 words, about 2 min09Salon Business, Entrepreneurship and Salon Management
This domain tests whether you can plan and run a salon as a business: costs, pricing, break-even, records, marketing and legal obligations. Expect a calculation question and scenario questions on cash flow or pricing.
330 words, about 2 min10Communication and Customer Service
This domain tests consultation, active listening, expectation management and complaint handling. Questions give a client statement and ask for the best professional response, so tone and sequence matter as much as knowledge.
330 words, about 2 min11Practical Skill Demonstration
This domain tests your ability to perform a treatment competently under observation. Marks come from safety, hygiene, client care, technique, finish, timing and professionalism - not only from the final look.
302 words, about 2 min12Project Work, Portfolio and Viva
This domain tests independent work: a small project, a portfolio of evidence and a viva in which you explain your choices. Assessors look for originality, accurate records, consent, safety awareness and the ability to reflect on your own practice.
