Free Florida Cosmetology Exam Flashcards

Cleaning removes visible soil and debris; disinfecting uses an appropriate product on a cleaned, nonporous surface to destroy listed pathogens.

Discard it after one client because porous materials cannot be reliably disinfected for reuse.

Before and after each client, after contamination or glove removal, and whenever needed to prevent cross-contamination.

Keep cleaned and disinfected implements protected from contamination and separate from used or soiled items.

Stop the service, put on gloves, care for the wound, contain and clean the contamination, and disinfect affected nonporous surfaces.

They specify hazards, protective measures, mixing limits, contact time, storage, and emergency steps needed for safe use.

Inspect cords, keep hands and equipment dry, use grounded protection where required, and unplug by the plug before cleaning.

It keeps products, hair, water, and contaminated materials away from the client's skin and clothing while maintaining comfort.

Objective facts: date, time, people involved, what occurred, observed condition, care provided, and required notifications.

To identify goals, history, current condition, contraindications, prior services, maintenance needs, and realistic expected results.

Pause or modify the service within professional scope and refer the client to an appropriate health professional when needed.

Texture, density, porosity, elasticity, growth patterns, scalp condition, and evidence of prior chemical or mechanical damage.

To select suitable products and technique and identify irritation, lesions, medications, allergies, or other contraindications.

Nail and surrounding skin condition, product sensitivities, prior services, and signs that require postponing service or referral.

Accurate formulas, products, techniques, processing details, observations, results, adverse responses, and recommended home care.

It screens for a possible sensitivity according to the manufacturer's directions; it does not guarantee that no reaction will occur.

Apply it in the direction of hair growth and remove it quickly against the growth while supporting the skin.

When the treatment area has a contagious condition, open lesion, severe inflammation, or another contraindication to the planned procedure.

Proper isolation, eye-area products used as directed, careful placement away from skin and eye, and immediate response to irritation.

Use controlled strokes from side to center to shape the free edge without excessive sawing that can promote splitting.

Soften it and use an approved abrasive conservatively; do not cut living tissue or use an invasive blade as a cosmetic service.

Correct sizing, a clean and properly prepared nail plate, precise adhesive placement, and a secure fit without air pockets.

For suspected contagious infection, inflamed or broken tissue, unexplained swelling, or any condition outside cosmetic scope.

Only an active, appropriate license permits regulated cosmetology services; practicing with an expired or invalid license can trigger discipline.

Florida regulates both practitioners and cosmetology salons, so services must be provided in a properly licensed setting unless a lawful exception applies.

Level describes relative lightness or darkness; tone describes the color character, such as warm, cool, or neutral.

A strand test predicts processing and color result on hair; a patch test screens the client's skin for possible product sensitivity.

Temporary color mainly coats the surface and shampoos out quickly; permanent oxidative color changes pigment within the cortex.

Scalp heat speeds processing at the root area, so midlengths and ends may need a head start for a more even result.

On the new growth only, avoiding unnecessary overlap onto previously colored hair.

Hair condition and natural level, product strength, application, temperature, and processing time within manufacturer limits.

It may absorb color quickly and unevenly, lose color faster, and require gentler formulation and careful timing.

A color opposite the unwanted tone on the color wheel can neutralize it when chosen at the appropriate level and strength.

Correct ratios and timing support predictable lift, deposit, consistency, and safety; improvising can change both result and exposure risk.

Use only a product specifically intended and legally permitted for that area, follow its directions, and protect the eyes from exposure.

The waving solution reduces disulfide bonds so hair can take the rod shape; neutralizer reforms bonds in the new configuration.

The developing curl pattern, processing progress, and whether the hair is ready to be rinsed under the product's directions.

Residual reducing solution can keep acting and interfere with neutralization, weakening the hair or producing an uneven result.

It oxidizes and reforms disulfide bonds to stabilize the hair in its newly shaped configuration.

It helps protect the scalp and skin around the hairline from contact with the chemical product.

They alter hair through different chemistry; using them on the same previously treated hair can cause extreme weakening and breakage.

Only on sufficient new growth, avoiding the scalp and previously relaxed hair to limit irritation and overlap damage.

Stop processing and follow the product's removal and rinsing directions immediately; do not dismiss persistent discomfort.

They can help return hair closer to its normal acidic range and support a smoother, more compact cuticle.

A one-length or blunt perimeter because the hair falls to its natural position during cutting.

Raising hair before cutting removes weight and creates graduation or layers; greater elevation generally produces more layering.

To remove selected bulk, blend, or create movement without necessarily changing the overall perimeter length.

The comb and fingers direct wet hair into alternating C-shaped movements joined by ridges.

Smaller rollers create tighter curls; larger rollers create broader curls, volume, or a smoother result.

Hair must be dry, temperature appropriate for its condition, and the iron tested to avoid scorching or breakage.
