" Thomas is such a godsend! I purchased his book and would email him questions. He really made me feel like an individual not just a sale because he really does return his messages. He cares! I recommend “The Blueprint” to anyone who wants more barber knowledge. "

Carol M.
" My school would let us walk around and do whatever we wanted as long as the customers were taken care of. I knew I had the practical but I didn’t know how to prepare for the Theory. After reading this, I’m not anymore. "

Sloane T. (later passed the Theory exam with an 83%)
" It is difficult to say what Mr. James did. I'm still learning English and don’t know how to translate some of the big words. My school tried to help but I still do not understand some of it. This book is easy! I took the test over and over. I had to keep paying to take the test. I read this book and scored a 86 %. I wish I had done this first! Thank you Mr. James! "

unfortunately you may run across parasites or pathogenic bacteria on your client.

As stated earlier while in the shop or school, unfortunately you may run across parasites or pathogenic bacteria on your client. If you notice this, stop and inform your client. For there to be something to tell you must have seen one of the objective symptoms. Symptoms come in 2 forms, objective and subjective. Subjective symptoms you cannot see but can feel. Examples of this type of symptom are pain, burning, itching, etc. Objective symptoms are the type you can see.

When you go to the doctor with a broken arm, the doctor could see your arm out of place and clarify it is broke. This is an objective symptom. But when the doctor asks how much pain are you in. This is a subjective symptom you are describing because no one can see your tolerance for pain. Remember if there is an object to see it is objective. If you are the subject of what is going on, it is subjective.

towels in the device and they will remain warm while the device is turned on. NEVER put steam towels on open sores or abrasions.

Side Note: For test purposes, remember, if there are abrasions or open lesions present do NOT attempt any service because there is a higher chance of spreading contamination from one client to another.

A wet sanitizer is a jar big enough to hold a sanitizing solution as well as your implements so they may be sanitized. To mix your solution, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and leave your implements in the solution for the allotted time. Changing the solution by adding more or less of the solute alters the time frame of the procedure and could damage your supplies. If you leave them in less than the time you risk them not being fully clean. If you leave them in the solution longer than the required time, you risk the chance of the solution deteriorating them. They luster, strength and durability will start to fade away. After the proper cleaning time, remove them, rinse with warm water and dry them. From there, cover them until it is time for use. The wet sanitizer solution should be changed daily.

The purpose of a shave is to remove hair with a razor without irritating or cutting the skin.

The purpose of a shave is to remove hair with a razor without irritating or cutting the skin. To help not irritate the skin and allow the blade to move smoothly, use a lathering agent. To prevent the spread of infection during a shave, never use the same blade on more than one client and after the service, used blades should be placed in a sharps container box. Sanitize the blade itself before and after every client. Also, use a clean towel or plastic cap on the headrest for every client. If a client has a skin infection or a lesion, do not give a shave service to that client. Lock your chair when doing this service to prevent the chair from moving while placing the blade against your client's face. To prevent from cutting yourself, never cut towards your hand. Instead use your index finger and your thumb to pull the skin in the opposite direction the blade will be moving and to not cut your client so easily, hold the razor at a 30 degree angle on the face. When the shave is complete, apply an astringent to cleanse the skin and close your client’s pores.

There are 3 phases of bacteria. They are either active which is also known as vegetative; inactive which is known as spore forming or dead.

There are 3 phases of bacteria. They are either active which is also known as vegetative; inactive which is known as spore forming or dead. If they are active, they are growing and reproducing, inactive they are lying dormant until their release to become active. I know some people when they hear of something in a vegetative state they automatically assume it is about to die so it is dormant. In this case think of bacteria being in a garden. If you are active in your garden you are able to grow and multiply your crops. If you are inactive in your garden nothing is going to happen.

What is a spore? A spore is pretty much a force field that goes around the piece of bacteria and literally allows the piece of bacteria to go wherever the wind, rain or other earthly element takes it.
