EXAM
A barber in Florida must clean and disinfect non-electrical tools after each use.
Which of the following is the correct procedure for disinfection of combs and
shears?
A) Rinse with water and dry with a clean towel
B) Wipe with a dry cloth and store in a closed cabinet
C) Immerse in an EPA-registered disinfectant solution following manufacturer’s
instructions CORRECT ANSWER
D) Spray with isopropyl alcohol and shake off excess
Rationale: Florida barber rules require that non-electrical tools like combs and
shears be disinfected using an EPA-registered disinfectant that is bactericidal,
virucidal, and fungicidal. Immersion for the specified contact time ensures proper
sanitation. Simple rinsing or wiping does not eliminate all pathogens.
Which chemical agent is considered a high-level disinfectant and is commonly
used for disinfection of metal tools in a Florida barbershop?
A) Quaternary ammonium compounds
B) Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution at appropriate dilution CORRECT
ANSWER
C) Ethyl alcohol 70%
D) Hydrogen peroxide 3%
,Rationale: Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is a high-level disinfectant effective
against bacteria, viruses, and fungi when diluted correctly (e.g., 1:10 dilution).
Quaternary ammonium compounds are intermediate-level. Alcohol and low-
concentration hydrogen peroxide are not sporicidal and are not approved for high-
level disinfection of barber tools.
According to Florida Administrative Code Rule 61G3-20.002, the minimum
required floor space per barber station in a licensed barbershop is:
A) 50 square feet
B) 100 square feet CORRECT ANSWER
C) 150 square feet
D) 75 square feet
Rationale: Florida rule 61G3-20.002 states that each barber station must have at
least 100 square feet of floor space. This ensures adequate work area and reduces
cross-contamination risks. Shops with fewer than 100 square feet per station are
out of compliance.
A restricted barber in Florida may perform which of the following services?
A) Chemical straightening of hair
B) Shaving with a straight razor CORRECT ANSWER
C) Hair coloring with bleach
D) Permanent waving
Rationale: A restricted barber license (formerly apprentice or limited) typically
allows basic barbering services such as haircutting, shaving, and trimming of
beards and mustaches. Chemical services like straightening, coloring, and perms
require a full barber license in Florida.
, How often must a barbershop’s floors be swept and cleaned under Florida
sanitation rules?
A) Once a week
B) Daily CORRECT ANSWER
C) Every two days
D) After each client
Rationale: Florida barber sanitation rules require that floors be swept and cleaned
daily to maintain a hygienic environment. While some surfaces must be cleaned
after each client, floor cleaning is a daily requirement unless visibly soiled sooner.
When performing a shave with a straight razor, the barber must hold the blade at
what approximate angle for a smooth, safe shave?
A) 45 degrees
B) 30 degrees CORRECT ANSWER
C) 15 degrees
D) 60 degrees
Rationale: For a standard straight razor shave, the blade should be held at
approximately a 30-degree angle relative to the skin. A lower angle may not cut
effectively, while a higher angle increases the risk of nicks and irritation.
What is the legally required method for cleaning reusable cloth neck strips or
towels in a Florida barbershop?
A) Launder with detergent and cold water, then air dry
B) Launder with detergent and hot water (at least 160°F or 71°C), then dry in a
mechanical dryer CORRECT ANSWER
C) Boil for 10 minutes and hang to dry
