When was the first barber law passed?

  1. 1897

  2. 1905

  3. 1912

  4. 1920

The correct answer is: 1897

The first barber law was passed in 1897. This law, also known as the National Barber Reform Law, required barbers to pass a written and practical exam in order to obtain a license to practice. Barbershops were also required to maintain certain health and safety standards. Option B, 1905, is incorrect because the first barber law was actually passed eight years prior. Option C, 1912, is also incorrect as it falls five years after the actual date. Option D, 1920, is the furthest from the correct answer, as it is 23 years after the first barber law was passed. It is important to remember that the National Barber Reform Law was passed in 1897 in order to accurately understand its significance and impact on the barbering industry.
