Washington Barber License Practice Exam

Which of the following services is typically NOT offered by barbers?

1. Beard trims

2. Haircuts

3. Facial treatments

4. Shaving

The correct answer is: Facial treatments

Barbers are primarily trained to provide hair cutting and grooming services, which typically include beard trims, haircuts, and shaving. While shaving is a traditional barbering service that focuses on facial hair, beard trims involve trimming and shaping the beard to the client's desired style. Facial treatments, however, are generally outside the scope of standard barber services. These treatments usually require additional training and licensure typically associated with estheticians or cosmetologists, who specialize in skincare and beauty treatments. Thus, the correct choice reflects a service that does not fall under the typical roles and skills expected of barbers, distinguishing it from the more common services provided in a barber shop setting.
