PSI Barber State Board Practical Exam Preparation Video (universal for all PSI)

www.barbercosm...
🟣 First, my name is not mrs Jackie.
🟣 Second, I’m just a regular human barber
🟣 Third, I do not take credit for this video.
This is a Paul Mitchell instructional video that was given to their barber students to prepare for California barber state board. (No this Is not the same quality education you get as a student, (this was for distance Education.)
🟣 And finally, yes this video is universal. -meaning most PSI barber and cosmetology exams will be exactly like this. (Minus 1-2 more services for cosmos)
🔴 Watch the video once carefully, then watch a few more times and take notes on flashcsrds, practice routinely and give yourself plenty of time to prepare so you can retain as much information as possible.
🟡 Make a poster board step by step outline of the exam, and diagram the proper sectioning in the center of the poster board, clip your flashcards along the edges of the poster board in order- then memorize each step of each service (out of order), so you know the exam in every order possible.
🟢 Then use Milady pro study tools to prepare for Written exam. Go threw chapter test and copy the ones you got Incorrect onto flash cards and go threw the flashcards as many Times as It takes to memorize the questions you originally got wrong.
1. Work Area and Client Preparation, and Set Up of Supplies (First client, 10 minutes)

I really appreciate this video. I took my state board exam on October 6 2021 and just from watching this and practicing I passed and am now a licensed barber in California. Thank you for this video.

Quick question what is a good practice for the written exam

[@BigMooseVWP]

@@clintinteriano4753 honestly I found some flash cards on quizlet that helped me so much. But a lot of the what’s on the written is literally what you learn in school from the text book.

I got a 97 on my Virginia practical exam because of this video. Please ensure that you use the disinfectant WIPES NOT THE SPRAY. THE SPRAY IS NO LONGER AUTHORIZED.

[@predatorj7]

First I want to thank you so much for putting this video out. I passed my CA barber exam on September 1st 2021 FIRST TRY, and I wouldn't of be able to do it without this video. Thank you again for putting this up. Second I would like to tell all up and coming Barbers who are about to take the exam, I only had 5 rods done at the end of the 20 mins for chemical waiving, I only did half of the back right quadrant for the virgin relaxer and I also did half of the back left quadrant with the color retouch, but i still passed. So this tells me that as long as you perform perfect sanitation and you show that you wont spread infection or hurt yourself or the client, THAT is what is important to the proctor. Yes it is true that you don't use a disinfectant spray and you use disinfectant wipes instead. I rented the kit so i had to show up at 5:30am and they CLEARLY go over what to do. so i recommend renting a kit from the rent-a-kit right next to Fairfield,CA state board. People still passed who didn't rent the kit but the information they provided was so crucial to me. I also, like an idiot, forgot my 3 steam towels that they give you in a bag because i was so worried about having everything i walked off with the towels sitting at the chair... i only noticed this when i was starting my hot towel procedure for the shave. In the instructions the proctor states to do the best with what you have so instead of freaking out i grabbed a dry towel and did the exact steam towel procedure but with a dry towel and i still passed. So when in doubt do the best with what you have. People were dropping things left and right but used perfect sanitation and they still passed. One more recommendation is to find Ms.Britt on Salon Success and watch her. That video Along with Miss Jackie will have you passing. I literally ONLY watched them because they seem the most up to date on youtube and walked in there and passed first try. Also i watched each video 20+ times(thats around 100 hours in front of the computer). I also wrote down EVERY SINGLE step on what to do on flash cards around the 15th time just to lock it in my mind. The first 5 times of each video your going to be OVERWHELMED with what you have to do and thats OK.. then the next 5 you should be getting it a little better.. then the next 5 its getting engraved in the mind.. and by the last 5 times you watch these videos you can basically know what Miss Jackie and what Miss Britt are going to say before they even say it. Good luck everyone. DM if you want any advice or help.

[@Sl8erh83r]

I was there with Joel and also watched this video before my test and became a Licensed Barber on September 1st! Thank you so much for this video it really helped me.

[@miguelestrada2248]

When you first took out the wipes did you hold them in your hand and than wipe or did you put them on the table then take them out and wipe?

[@predatorj7]

@@miguelestrada2248 they put like 10 pairs of rubber gloves in yur pack if you rent the kit from the place right next to state board and I asked what were they all for and they told me that the anytime you grab the disinfectant whipes a rubber glove needs to be on. In other words when you touch the whipe you either need to take off the glove or just use hand sanitizer. Never go from touching the disinfectant whipe to touchin the clients face or hair. To Answer yur question I don’t think it matters as long as after you discard the whipe you immediately hand sanitizer. Personally I used the same rubber gloves for almost the entire time because I constantly used hand sanitizer. The first and last thing you do EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE IS HAND SANITIZER…. Touch a disenfectant whipe, hand sanitizer. I literally ran out of hand sanitizer and was just acting like I was doing it with an empty bottle and that was good enough.

Really appreciate this video and the one by miss britt of salon success academy. Only reasons i passed. Got my license 2 days ago. Barber Stylist in SC. I have heard people say its one of the strictest states. Only 2 out of 9 people passed... and 2 of the 7 who had failed had already been there 3 times. Some of the people who failed where very compitant I thought but they still didn't make it. Ill help yall out if you got any questions, its mostly about client safety tho. Dont walk with open razor, sheild face, stuff like that. Don't rush the service and concentrate more on doing it right. Yall got this! Fyi, blow dry and curling were taken off test in july.

it blows my mind how many people are on here complaining, a video that you put out for FREE to help, knowing it wasn’t going to be able to help anyone 100% since the tests differ state by state and change often not to mention it’s less than 2 hour video and most schools do over state board for at least a month if not more or much more! but out of the goodness of your heart to help as many as possible in a general way you took the time to post it expecting them to use the rest of their knowledge and resources provided by their school and state to fill in. I’m just shocked by the negativity and telling you all you did wrong or how the video didn’t meet their standards instead of thanking you if they found it helpful or just moving on if not as they weren’t required to watch it, it’s not like this is the study guide psi provided us! it’s an optional video!

it doesn’t need to be updated, it’s universal, like all other universal products they don’t actually work for everything but for most. state board exams differ from state to state so she couldn’t possibly include the specific details and differences for each state (i guess she could but can’t imagine how long that would take and hard it would be) basically most of the info will apply to most states practical exams, and whatever differs shes assuming we will/should know those specific requirements our state

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I'm a former cosmetologist (expired license) I have a question about the perm. Do you not have to apply neutralizer before you remove the rods? I rocked many perms back in the day. I went to school in the 80s . I asked because there may be new products that I'm not aware of. I'm getting ready to go to barber school and crossover. I can take the cosmetology exam anytime to get my license reinstated. The difference between barbers and cosmetologists is interesting.

I believe the towels come pre prepped (wet) if you rented a kit, and if you built your own kit you’ll have to wet the towels and placed them in the sandwich bag.

For Cali/Colorado we didn’t have to do the manicure. I hear in Texas you do have to do a manicure but just a basic one. It depends on your state. As far as the rest of the practical goes. It’s up to the proctor, he or she will choose the services from this video and have you do them.

Are you allowed to cut some of the mannequin hair off prior to the practical? I see some videos with barbers prepping the mannequin with shorter hair.

[@gracieelakee]

hi! thank you for this video! my exam is tomorrow morning, i only have one straight razor, so since i can’t wash it properly, what would i do during the test? i can’t throw one into items to be sanitized, so do i just spray it down and wipe it off?

[@jackiedaytona8032]

After you complete the shave, sanitize and wipe it down, place it in the case, and toss it into items to be disinfected. You should be able to grab it back out in between the set up for the next service (which should be haircut).. DO NOT FORGET TO SANITIZE AFTER GRABBING IT BACK OUT OF ITEMS TO BE DISINFECTED! Always sanitize. **Make sure they see you sanitize your hands and even the straight razor before using it again..
