  1. During a haircut, a barber notices an unusual scalp lesion that appears potentially infectious. The most ethical course of action is to:

    Answer: Refuse to continue the service and recommend the client see a healthcare professional

    Barbers are not licensed to diagnose or treat medical conditions and must refer clients to a healthcare professional when suspicious conditions are observed.

  2. A Texas barber advertises in a local newspaper claiming to offer 'guaranteed cures for baldness.' This advertisement is:

    Answer: Unethical and potentially illegal under TDLR and consumer protection rules

    Making false or misleading therapeutic claims in advertising violates TDLR ethical standards and Texas consumer protection laws.

  3. A client asks a barber to perform a chemical relaxer service that the barber has not been trained to do safely. The ethical response is to:

    Answer: Decline and refer the client to a qualified professional

    Performing services beyond one's competence is unethical and endangers the client — referral to a qualified professional is the correct course of action.

  4. Under Texas barbering ethics, a barber should inform clients of service prices:

    Answer: Before the service begins to ensure informed consent

    Transparency in pricing before services begin ensures informed consent and builds trust, which is a core ethical obligation.

  5. A barber client complains that their haircut looks uneven immediately after the service. The most professional response is to:

    Answer: Apologize and offer to correct the issue at no additional charge

    Offering to correct mistakes professionally and without additional charge demonstrates accountability and client-centered ethics.

  6. Using a product on a client that you know may cause an allergic reaction without disclosing the risk would violate which ethical principle?

    Answer: Beneficence and informed consent

    Barbers are ethically obligated to disclose known risks so clients can make informed decisions about their care.

  7. A barber who consistently upgrades their skills through workshops and education is demonstrating which professional value?

    Answer: Commitment to lifelong learning and client safety

    Ongoing education reflects dedication to providing the safest, highest-quality services and is a hallmark of professional ethics.
