- Tennessee barber board
- The Tennessee Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners, under the Department of Commerce and Insurance, licenses and regulates barbers and barber shops in Tennessee.
- Barber license requirement
- A person must hold a valid Tennessee barber license to perform barbering for compensation, and the shop location must hold a valid shop license.
- Unlicensed practice
- Performing barbering without a license is prohibited and may result in fines, denial, suspension, or revocation of licensure.
- Shop inspection
- Board representatives may inspect licensed barber shops during business hours to verify compliance with Tennessee statutes and board rules.
- Disinfection
- Disinfection destroys most pathogenic microorganisms on nonporous surfaces but may not destroy bacterial spores; EPA-registered products are used.
- Sterilization
- Sterilization destroys all microorganisms, including bacterial spores, and applies to items that penetrate skin or contact blood.
- Hospital-grade disinfectant
- An EPA-registered disinfectant labeled hospital-grade or tuberculocidal is used for implements and surfaces contaminated with blood or body fluids.
- Blood spill procedure
- Wear gloves, absorb the spill, clean with soap and water, disinfect with an EPA product, and dispose of waste in a biohazard container.
- Guide hair
- The first section of hair cut; its length is the reference point for all later sections so the finished cut is balanced.
- Blunt cut
- A one-length haircut cut at 0 degrees of elevation, with all hair held at the same length.
- Graduated haircut
- A haircut using 45-degree elevation that creates stacked length and volume at the perimeter.
- Taper cut
- A cut that gradually shortens hair toward the ears and neckline, blending shorter perimeter lengths into longer top lengths.
- Shaving angle
- A straight razor is held at about 30 degrees to the skin while the skin is stretched taut ahead of the blade.
- Beard neckline
- In beard design, the neckline is usually placed at the jawline or about one finger above the Adam's apple.
- Pseudofolliculitis barbae
- Razor bumps caused by curved hair re-entering the skin; avoid close against-grain shaving and use sharp, clean blades.
- Sharps disposal
- Used razor blades are placed in a rigid, puncture-resistant sharps container and never left loose in trash or towels.
- Patch test
- A small amount of color product applied 24 to 48 hours before coloring to detect an allergic reaction before full application.
- Strand test
- A test on a small hair section that determines processing time, color result, and hair tolerance before a full chemical service.
- Law of color
- Primary colors are blue, red, and yellow; secondary colors are violet, green, and orange; opposite colors neutralize each other.
- Permanent wave chemistry
- Thioglycolate reduces disulfide bonds and reshapes hair; the neutralizer reforms the bonds to lock in the new curl pattern.
- Hair porosity
- The ability of hair to absorb and retain moisture, determined by cuticle condition; highly porous hair processes faster and fades quicker.
- Elasticity
- Wet hair with normal elasticity stretches about 50 percent and returns; poor elasticity indicates damage and limits chemical services.
- Tinea capitis
- A contagious fungal scalp infection with scaling and hair loss; the barber should not service the client and should refer to a physician.
- Scalp massage movements
- Effleurage, petrissage, friction, and tapotement are the massage manipulations used on the scalp and face.
- Skin layers
- The skin has three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous fatty layer.
- Arrector pili
- A tiny muscle attached to the hair follicle that contracts in cold or emotion, causing goose bumps.
- Facial nerve
- Cranial nerve VII controls the muscles of facial expression; its branches are relevant to facial services and client comfort.
- Skull bones
- The human skull includes the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, zygomatic, maxilla, and mandible bones, which form the face and cranium.
- Clipper maintenance
- After each client, remove hair from clipper blades, disinfect them, oil the blade, and store the clipper with its guard.
- Shear care
- Quality shears are oiled at the pivot, sharpened by a professional, and never dropped or used on anything except hair.
- Safety Data Sheets
- Safety Data Sheets provide hazard, handling, and emergency information for chemicals and must be accessible where products are stored.
- Client records
- Client records should document services, products used, patch tests, and any adverse reactions for legal and professional reference.
