Arkansas State Barber Practice Exam

Where should hair or other waste materials be placed in a barbershop?

1. In an open bin

2. On a shelf

3. In a closed container

4. Outside the shop

The correct answer is: In a closed container

In a barbershop, hair and other waste materials are typically placed in a closed container. This is to prevent any hair or debris from getting scattered or spread around the shop, which could be unsanitary and create a messy environment for both the barber and the customers. Placing it in an open bin or on a shelf can also lead to unpleasant odors and attract insects or pests. Additionally, disposing of waste materials outside the shop may not be convenient for the barber and could also create a nuisance for the surrounding area. Therefore, the most appropriate and hygienic option is to use a closed container for waste disposal in a barbershop.
