This episode I am discussing the 4 main categories of Haircolor, and the 4 main developers that we most commonly use in schools and in the salons. I am breaking down each one, what the differences are. This is all information you need to know for your exam. Thank you so much for listening. Stay tuned for the continuance of Haircoloring that you will need to know for your Stateboard test. Please like, please share, and I hope these episodes truly help you.

In this episode, I am reviewing over Permanent Waves the different types, the main active ingredients, and the pH to each one, and the Chemical Straighteners also known as Relaxers. This is the information you need to know for your Stateboard written test here in California. If you are in another State, this may help you, however, I can never give definitive answers being that I am not aware of what tests you all are testing through. I thank you so much for Listening and please like and share.

Welcome to Episode 12 of the Stateboard study series, and in this episode I am going over another Quiz. This quiz is more centered on Hair, Skin, and Nail Analysis. I got a 95% on this practice test, so I only missed one question out of 20. I hope you learn, enjoy, and use this to get an idea for what to expect on your Stateboard written exam. These practice tests are based on the written exam for Cosmetology in the state of California, however, if your state is contracted with PSI then it should still help you as well. Please like, share, and thank you so much again for listening to Ms. V’s Real Beauty Talk.

I purchased practice tests for the California State Written Exam through whom the state is contracted with now. PSI Exams, and in this episode I am going over 20 questions of one practice test. I missed 1 question and got 95% on the test which in this episode is part of the Safety and Infection Control. I do state in this episode, that I don’t believe students need to spend extra money to practice for your Stateboard test. The truth is you have everything you need? However, if you do spend extra money PSI does not disappoint. The website when you take the tests tell you the percentage of who answered each option for your answers, it also tells you how long it took you to answer each question, and it also tells you which subjects you need a little more work on. I’m not encouraging you spend extra money, but if you do? You might as well go through the website that your actual state exam is contracted with. I hope you enjoy, I pray this helps you in your studying journey to becoming a licensed cosmetologist! Check out my YouTube channel as well “Ms. V’s Beauty Tutorials”.

I can never guarantee that it will, but I believe it will help with of course you studying your text, and your exam book, and flashcards. This is the purpose, so if you feel like this is really helping you? Then like , share with someone who is considering going to cosmetology school, and/or may be getting ready for their test. Even if you are not in California, it still may help with your written portion of your exam. Please I encourage you to be sure you are studying on your own along with these episodes. Enjoy!

Continuing and finishing the skin structure and growth of the Stateboard Study Series. This is all part of the skin portion to help prepare you for the Stateboard licensing exam. Now here’s the thing and I say this in my podcast, if you are in another state that does the NIC testing, or CIB this may be of some assistance to you for your written test at least. This should be used as an Aid to your studies. Some people learn from hearing (Audio) Learners, but I do encourage you to review your little exam book, as well as your text book, though this goes hand in hand with it. I’m using the latest version of the Milady Textbook, however, those of you who are learning from Pivot Point, the information is the same, just presented differently. With School, your studying sessions, along with this Podcast, you should be on the right track to getting your license. I hope this will help you, and please share with others who may be struggling with their test, or they are getting ready to test.
