Texas Barber License Practice Examination

Electrolysis is a method of hair removal that uses electrical current to destroy hair follicles, making it a more permanent solution typically used in settings focused on esthetics rather than traditional barbering. In the context of barbering, techniques like shaving, waxing, and trimming are commonly practiced. Shaving removes hair from the skin's surface using a razor or blade, while waxing involves applying a sticky substance to the hair for removal, and trimming simply involves cutting hair to a desired length without removing it entirely from the follicle. These methods align with the primary services offered by barbers, focusing on grooming rather than permanent hair removal. Thus, among the options listed, electrolysis is not considered a standard method used in barbering.
