Skin & Nail ServicesQuestion 259 of 484

A client asks a California-licensed manicurist to wax her eyebrows. The manicurist should:

a.Decline because eyebrow waxing is outside the manicurist's scope of practice
b.Perform the service if she has personally taken a waxing class
c.Perform the service because waxing is sanitary
d.Perform the service only on female clients

Explanation

A California manicurist license covers care of the nails and surrounding skin of the hands and feet. Facial skin services such as eyebrow waxing are outside scope; that work requires an esthetician or cosmetology license.
