Texas Barber License Practice Examination

To obtain a Texas barber license, candidates must successfully complete both a written test and a practical skills test. The written test assesses knowledge of the theoretical aspects of barbering, including sanitation practices, customer service, and state laws regulating the profession. This part evaluates a candidate's understanding of essential concepts and practices that are fundamental to providing safe and effective barber services.

Following the written portion, candidates must also demonstrate their practical skills. This practical test involves performing various barbering techniques on a live model or mannequin, showcasing their ability to cut hair, perform shaves, and apply relevant processes. This hands-on evaluation ensures that candidates not only understand the theory behind barbering but can also apply that knowledge effectively in real-world situations.

This two-part examination format is designed to ensure that new barbers are well-equipped with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to provide quality service and adhere to health and safety regulations.
