1. 1A Kansas practitioner plans to offer a paid service on a client's lower leg. Which fact keeps that service outside the barbering definition in K.S.A. 65-1809?

   1. A. Barbering is limited to cosmetic services on the upper part of the human body
   2. B. Barbering is limited to services performed with mechanical appliances
   3. C. Barbering applies only when a client is male
   4. D. Barbering excludes every service performed for payment

   Answer: A

   Explanation: The controlling text states, "upon the upper part of the human body for cosmetic purposes" K.S.A. 65-1809 limits the listed barbering practices to cosmetic work on the upper part of the human body. Payment, client sex, and use of a mechanical appliance do not create the missing anatomical scope.

   2. B. The student's first annual renewal date
   3. C. Three years after graduation
   4. D. The opening of the student's first shop

   Reference: Agency 61 Regulations — K.A.R. 61-3-23, page 7
