1A disinfectant label lists a 10-minute contact time. What must happen for those 10 minutes?
A.The implement may be removed as soon as it looks clean
B.Only the handle must stay in the solution
C.The treated surface must remain visibly wet for the full label time
D.The disinfectant must be allowed to dry completely before the label time begins
Explanation: Contact time is the period a disinfectant-treated surface must remain visibly wet so the product can work as its EPA-approved label directs. Wiping or removing the product early does not complete the labeled process.
2Before using a chemical product, which label information is most important for safe service preparation?
A.The package color and logo
B.Directions, warnings, required protective equipment, and first-aid instructions
C.The product's advertising slogan, package design, and current customer review score
D.The number of social-media reviews
Explanation: Safe use starts with the manufacturer's directions and warnings, including required protective equipment and first aid. Marketing details do not replace the product label or Safety Data Sheet.
3What should an esthetician do after finding a frayed electrical cord on a facial machine?
A.Wrap the damaged area with a towel
B.Remove the machine from service until it is properly repaired or replaced
C.Use the machine only on a low setting
D.Keep the cord away from the client and continue only at the lowest power setting
Explanation: A frayed cord can expose live conductors and create shock or fire risk. PSI's safety outline requires equipment to be in safe working order, so damaged equipment must be taken out of service.
4Which device is intended to reduce shock risk when electrical equipment is used near water?
A.A power strip without a breaker
B.An extension cord under the treatment table
C.A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
D.A higher-wattage light bulb
Explanation: A GFCI detects an imbalance in electrical current and quickly interrupts the circuit, reducing the risk of serious shock. It does not make unsafe equipment or wet handling acceptable.
5A chemical splashes into a client's eye. What is the appropriate immediate response?
A.Cover the eye and wait for the burning to stop
B.Apply another product to neutralize the chemical
C.Flush as the product label or SDS directs and obtain medical help when indicated
D.Ask the client to keep the eye tightly closed until all burning stops completely on its own
Explanation: Chemical eye exposure requires immediate flushing according to the product's first-aid directions, followed by poison-control or medical assistance when directed. Adding an unapproved neutralizer can worsen the injury.
6Before placing a hot towel on a client's face, what should the esthetician do?
A.Apply it immediately so it does not cool
B.Judge the temperature by steam alone
C.Test the temperature safely and confirm client comfort before full application
D.Place it over the client's nose and mouth so trapped steam can retain maximum heat
Explanation: Hot towels can burn skin. Test the towel before application, communicate with the client, keep the nose and mouth unobstructed, and remove it promptly if it feels too hot.
7Why must water temperature be checked before it contacts a client?
A.Warm water always disinfects the skin
B.Clients cannot accurately feel water temperature differences during any professional facial service
C.Water that is too hot can burn or aggravate sensitive skin
D.Cold water permanently closes pores
Explanation: Checking temperature protects the client from burns and irritation, particularly when sensation may be reduced. Water temperature does not disinfect skin or permanently open or close pores.
8What is the main safety purpose of adequate ventilation during esthetic services?
A.To keep the room cooler while allowing stronger products to be used
B.To remove the need for respiratory protection required by a product label
C.To reduce the buildup of vapors, odors, and airborne contaminants
D.To shorten every product's processing time by speeding evaporation
Explanation: Proper ventilation helps control airborne contaminants and chemical vapors. It supplements, but does not replace, safe product use, labeling, protective equipment, or manufacturer directions.
9A product is transferred from its original container to a secondary container. What is required?
A.Leave the secondary container blank whenever it will be used during the same workday
B.Label it only with the product's color
C.Label it so the product and applicable hazards can be identified
D.Use a food container so the contents are visible
Explanation: Secondary containers need workplace labeling that identifies the product and communicates its hazards. Chemicals should never be placed in food or drink containers because that creates a serious ingestion risk.
10A liquid product spills onto the floor. What should happen first?
A.Leave it until the end of the service
B.Cover it with a dry towel and continue working
C.Secure the area and clean the spill using the label or SDS procedure
D.Dilute every spill with a large volume of water regardless of the product label
Explanation: Prevent slips and exposure by keeping people away from the spill, then follow the product's label and SDS for protective equipment, containment, cleanup, and disposal. Water is not safe for every chemical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the esthetician exam different from cosmetology?

Esthetician exams focus specifically on skin care, facials, and hair removal. Cosmetology covers a broader range including hair styling and nails.

What score do I need to pass?

Most states require 70-75% to pass the esthetician exam.

Do I need separate licenses for esthetics and cosmetology?

In most states, yes — esthetician is a separate license with its own training requirements, typically 600-1,500 hours depending on the state.
