Texas Class A Barber case studies

Texas Class A Barber · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The Texas Class A Barber license is the credential that allows a barber to perform barbering services in Texas. Barbering and cosmetology are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), which administers individual licenses, establishment licenses, school licenses, and the associated examinations. According to TDLR, barbering and cosmetology rules and regulations focus on health, safety and sanitation with the aim of preventing cuts, burns, infections and the transmission of contagious diseases - a framing that tells you a great deal about how the written exam is weighted. Candidates should expect the written test to sample broadly rather than deeply: haircutting and styling, shaving and facial hair services, chemical services, sanitation and infection control, and Texas barbering law and administrative rules. The Texas Class A Barber case studies are 5 cases and about 2,395 words.
