Ohio Cosmetology License Practice Exam

Which of the following services is included in the practice of esthetics?

1. Hair cutting

2. Nail design

3. Facials and skin treatments

4. Barbering techniques

The correct answer is: Facials and skin treatments

The practice of esthetics primarily focuses on the health and beauty of the skin, which encompasses various skin treatments and facials. Estheticians are trained to assess skin conditions and provide appropriate treatments, which may include cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and the application of masks or other products designed to improve the appearance and health of the skin. This specialized knowledge allows estheticians to cater to individual skin types and concerns, making facials and skin treatments an integral part of their scope of practice. On the other hand, services like hair cutting, nail design, and barbering techniques fall under other categories within the beauty industry, such as cosmetology and barbering, rather than esthetics.
