Thanks for using BarberQuiz.com! 

I hope this site helps you pass your barber practical exam!  My name is Chris Kidwell and I created this website to help myself and others pass the state board test.  

If the site helps you, donate a few bucks via Venmo to @kidwell200, without donations the site will eventually go down.

To prepare for your exam I’d recommend taking the first 2 quizzes until you are passing with at least a 90% score and review the first set of flash cards (probable test questions)
