Hey! I’m sitting in the parking lot of PSI after my practice exam. Texting my friends and family, letting them know I PASSES!!! I own so much of my success to you. I have watched all of your videos thousands of times. I fall asleep to them at night. I wake up, watching them I practiced and practiced and practice. You were like my fairy godmother during the studying journey. I went to cosmetology school about 12 years ago and just now went back to get my license. Your videos were so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for the work you do! You are a true gift!
👏🏼👏🏼that’s awesome and makes me really happy to hear that the videos made you feel confident and ready and guides you through the process!! ☺️Congratulations On getting licensed and good luck to you with everything coming your way 🧡
Yes I agree. We appreciate you so much . I'm studying right now getting ready to take my pratical soon. It's been 20 years since I first took the practical and let my license expire. Thank You again. I love your videos.
I didnt get a time to get my practice in my school am just going to watch your videos and take my practical exam thank you for doing this for us thank you god bless you
🥹 oh hun I just do what I can but thank you for supporting the channel and Huge Congratulations to you!! I’m sure you are so happy as you should it’s a big accomplishment 👏🏼🎊🎉🩷
@@GlamAndBeyond i will I will. I’m getting the nervous butterflies about forgetting on the spot but I know when the time comes I’ll retain all the necessary information! You’ve helped so much with my studying after graduating thank you
One last question.. I have t-pins in my mannequins neck from all throughout beauty school. Am I allowed to leave it in the neck to use when necessary? Or does it need to be in the bag of whatever service I need it in
@@Ashlynnrobertson good question not sure if they’ll care all raters are different students that use them I usually suggest to put in that specific bag .
So I took my practical in the beginning of this year in January and now I’m taking it next month. I’m refreshing my memory watching your videos. ( thank btw ❤️)But my question is on my pack list kit that my instructor provided has an antiseptic/soothing lotion , which is confusing to me because isn’t post wax product supposed to be an astringent not antiseptic? If you can clear the air on that, please.
Hey I have a question when we’re cleaning up after the service is done I was taught to put everything in the trash not in the kit. Is there a correct way to do this or it doesn’t matter??
You can throw it the trash it’s fine some of our student do either or as long as you are for sure getting rid of all of the disposables intro trash and sanitizing before and after going into kit all will be well, don’t get yourself confused do it they way your instructor showed you 😊
I do but I was taught in school to use a neckstrip as the headband and then put the processing cap on for the facials and waxing. I did it my first time taking the test and I was worried that might’ve been why I got some points off. I did cosmetology through my high school.
@@GlamAndBeyond Do you happen to know if all liquid products are required the actual products for the practical exam in Texas? Do they check them? I have my exam next week and I’m preparing my kit, so I want to make sure I don’t forget anything. By the way, I passed my written exam last week, and your videos were a huge help! I graduated from cosmetology school back in 2017, and it’s been quite a journey! God has truly been giving me the strength-I couldn’t have done it on my own.
I take my test tomorrow finally online i been watching your videos for the pass few year's wish me luck,but quick question do we have to have lipstick and eyeshadow on one eye? Or no
love your videos but I have a question, at the end of the waxing you keep your gloves on and go into the kit isn't that cross-contamination, or since you sanitize your hands with gloves on are they clean?
You sanitize your hands before and after going into your kit also if you wish to take the gloves off immediately after done you can it’s really up to you 🙂
Our students use the same cape for facial and waxing. They than change the cape into a Haircutting cape with neck strip for the haircut section. Followed by changing into new towel cape towel for the chemical service, permanent wave , blowdry etc. For those sections they only change the top towel, but keep the same towel that’s underneath and the cape. Hope that helps. Also when in doubt you can change capes for each section if you prefer. Some students use disposable capes , it’s really up to you, as long as you are draping and making sure nothing is soiled.
Hi, can anyone help me, I have virtual practical exam on 9th of June 2024.I m very nervous because I don't know how to give this test, do i have to bring my laptop because the ask me to install WebEx, so please can help me how exactly will we get the instructions ? Thanks
Yes you can have your laptop be sure to check you email leading to the schedule time of your test I’m sure they will send you a link with instructions. Be sure the space you will be using is clutter free and make sure no one is in the room with you and you have no distractions. Have your kit and ID and everything ready .
Could we keep the mannequin draped with the same towels and hair net from the facial kit to the soft wax kit? I see you used the same cape but got a new top towel, headband and hair net? Love your videos btw❤
Honestly it not something they say on the bulletin they are not very thorough we simply try to do what we believe will work and they want to see, I think you switching at least the top towel and head draping makes a good transition for a new service. 🍀🍀
My instructors told me the cap and headband counted as the mannaequin prep and we wouldnt need to drape the mannequin. What are your thoughts? Tysm i have been watching your videos like crazy getting myself ready. It was thanks to this channel i was able to pass my written portion!
So she suggested you do the draping of the mannequin during which part of the test ? The pre exam set up and disinfection? If it has worked for your other classmates I say do what she suggest this method has worked for our students.
@@GlamAndBeyondwhat I meant is that we did not have to drape our mannequin with the towel/cape/towel but that the clip, headband and shower cap counted as our mannequin prep for the facial service. I hope I clarified well. Thank you!
The only part of the test that was removed from the Texas Cosmetology practical test was the eyelash Strip application. The Facial portion still IS part of the test
Hi, so after the facial, the mannequin is very shiny. At what point between finishing and starting the waxing service, can we wipe our mannequin? Or will the massage oil dry out on its own?
If you feel the need to wipe it down you can do it any any time you saw how I used cotton rounds to “remove excess product” on the mannequin if you wish to spray the cotton rounds with water and than remove you can .
Hi, I saw that your page was recommended on TikTok a few times so here I am to see if you can help. I see that some states don’t have to take a practical, but I live in New Mexico, and I have to take a theory and practical. I appreciate your time. Thank you.
@@GlamAndBeyond yes different but I saw some things that I can do like waxing portion is definitely on my boards so I will look at your content and try my best. Thanks for being here :)
No not different, just be sure you have a table ready where you will perform everything log in on time do as they say, follow instructions if they give you any and do the best you can.
Can we leave the headband, plastic cap and draping on the mannequin from the facial service to the waxing? I was told we could leave it but I’m not sure if it’d loose me points because in the next section for soft wax I wouldn’t be technically demonstrating that?
what a relief lol ur amazing thank you for responding im testing on the 9th before my hrs expire on the 14 of feb so im low key freaking out any recommendations i test once before when i wasnt ready but i know this next time with ur videos ill pass but in the case that i dont anything that i should consider doing before hand or after to extend my my time before expiring hrs i hope that makes sense also, I was wondering any place that you would recommend or I could go and have someone watch me professionally yo make sure im doing my test correctly
@@priscillagramillo4760 hi Unfortunately no I do not have any recommendations as far as person to watch you perform the steps. Honestly practicing on your own and evaluating your own work and timing yourself is perfectly fine to do. Practice each section, the chemical service sections the haircut the nail tip application all of that 🍀🍀🍀
My teachers said to label as “soft wax”. Should I put mock wax instead? Also, what post wax product are we applying? Is that what the astringent is for?
Ooh I took my practical today and I messed up so bad I thought the Facial was first but the Monomer/Polymer over tip was first 🫣 my biggest issue was forgetting to put everything up after each section, also my mannequin stand came off on one of the sections and I was so embarrassed and I dropped my water bottle twice the practical exam is very intense in Texas tbh…
@@GlamAndBeyond I just went into the actual PSI exam portal and I passed this is such a huge milestone accomplishment for me because it’s my first time in like 11 or 12 years since graduating with no family and no help… You are that girl I appreciate you and ask for blessings to flood in for you now for all that you give and do for the world!
Okay awsome bc I was struggling trying to hold everything in my hands til it was epa and also on the hydroxide relaxer when u do the smoothing u don’t have to use a brush or comb u can smooths it with ur hands?

Whohoo!! 👏🏼🎉🎊☺️Congratulations!!!
So you do everything was in the videos?
Thank you this is so helpful you are THE BEST!!❤❤
Thanks for watching 💕
So I took my practical in the beginning of this year in January and now I’m taking it next month. I’m refreshing my memory watching your videos. ( thank btw ❤️)But my question is on my pack list kit that my instructor provided has an antiseptic/soothing lotion , which is confusing to me because isn’t post wax product supposed to be an astringent not antiseptic? If you can clear the air on that, please.
Antiseptic first before the wax and the astringent after the wax
So we can actually put them back in bag without getting points deducted
I’m curious about this because I was told we couldn’t
When I raise my hand, how do I know when to put to put it down? My test is tomorrow I’m getting anxious 😅
They will acknowledge you
Hey I have a question when we’re cleaning up after the service is done I was taught to put everything in the trash not in the kit. Is there a correct way to do this or it doesn’t matter??
You can throw it the trash it’s fine some of our student do either or as long as you are for sure getting rid of all of the disposables intro trash and sanitizing before and after going into kit all will be well, don’t get yourself confused do it they way your instructor showed you 😊
I'm sorry one last question can I use a neck strip as the head band or would they take points off for that?
You don’t have a plastic processing cap?
I do but I was taught in school to use a neckstrip as the headband and then put the processing cap on for the facials and waxing. I did it my first time taking the test and I was worried that might’ve been why I got some points off. I did cosmetology through my high school.
@ ok I see , if you don’t have a headband using the plastic cap alone will be just fine
Can I leave an extra paper towel in the zip lock bag and us that at the end of each section to clean my table.
Of course many take a roll of paper towel and have it at their station the whole test.
Do I have to raise my hand every time I finish the section?
Yes
Hi! Are the bottles filled with actual products or water? Ex: Antiseptic
Some have actual product , some have water or diluted product
@@GlamAndBeyond Do you happen to know if all liquid products are required the actual products for the practical exam in Texas? Do they check them? I have my exam next week and I’m preparing my kit, so I want to make sure I don’t forget anything.

when you return unused implements in corresponding named kit, are you allowed to return it to the duffel bag or trash bag?
Either or some students choose to throw everything in the trash bag .
Do you know if the foil highlights portion was taken off the practical exam?
It has NOT been taken off (Texas)
I take my test tomorrow finally online i been watching your videos for the pass few year's wish me luck,but quick question do we have to have lipstick and eyeshadow on one eye? Or no
Hi
Good luck everything will go well 🍀
& no You do not need to.

You sanitize your hands before and after going into your kit also if you wish to take the gloves off immediately after done you can it’s really up to you 🙂
heyyyy! question! should there be a cape in each bag for each service? i have 3, trying to see if i should order more!
Our students use the same cape for facial and waxing.
They than change the cape into a Haircutting cape with neck strip for the haircut section.
Followed by changing into new towel cape towel for the chemical service, permanent wave , blowdry etc. For those sections they only change the top towel, but keep the same towel that’s underneath and the cape. Hope that helps. Also when in doubt you can change capes for each section if you prefer. Some students use disposable capes , it’s really up to you, as long as you are draping and making sure nothing is soiled.
Do you know if you have to zip your kit closed each time you take something out? Or can you leave it unzipped for the whole test?
Has to closed that is one of this things they are looking for that container,jar, kit remain closed through out the test .
can we use makeup wipes for the makeup remover?
We do not train to do it with makeup wipes but if your school did then go for it . 🙂
I have a question is the eyelash part no longer include in the practical exam i take my test on the 31 I just wass be sure
The eyelash strip application was removed from the test over a year ago 🙂.

I take my test on this Tuesday on the pre exam setup u can put ur bag down and sanitize ur hand then trash bag and alike u did in the video?
Yes you can
In my school the tought is to do the full facial in the book should I do the book facial or what they’re looking for in the practical candid bulletin?
Are you in Texas?
Did the school go over the state practical with you?
@@GlamAndBeyond yes & yes
@@aprilllM ok great to answer your question
When it comes to the practical exam I would simply do what is required by the psi bulletin.
hi there 🤍
is it okay to tilt the mannequin head back a little bit for the facial service? or just keep it like how it is in video?
You can tilt it I had it like hat so you all could see what I was doing 😊
@@GlamAndBeyond tysm!!
what can we use for wax strips that we can find around our home for the test? that is fabric
Any fabric will work
thank you!
Is it required to chemically drape the mannequin this soon? Or can it wait until the permanent wave?
I would say depends on what your instructor suggests this is what we usually have our students do.
Hi, I saw that your page was recommended on TikTok a few times so here I am to see if you can help. I see that some states don’t have to take a practical, but I live in New Mexico, and I have to take a theory and practical. I appreciate your time. Thank you.
Welcome 🫶🏼 all the theory information can definitely help you prepare! The practical exam is different for every state.
@@GlamAndBeyond yes different but I saw some things that I can do like waxing portion is definitely on my boards so I will look at your content and try my best. Thanks for being here :)

No not different, just be sure you have a table ready where you will perform everything log in on time do as they say, follow instructions if they give you any and do the best you can.
Should each bag have 3 paper towels
I only do 3 in the blood exposure bag
Did Texas take out the eyelash part?
Yes
Yes they did effective 9/1/2023
Yes bcuz that’s where I was having trouble. Thanks for responding
@@GlamAndBeyond SWEET 😊❤
Taken test next month after 25 years in the business now didn't work last 7 years now decided to get license to teach.
Can we leave the headband, plastic cap and draping on the mannequin from the facial service to the waxing? I was told we could leave it but I’m not sure if it’d loose me points because in the next section for soft wax I wouldn’t be technically demonstrating that?
I prefer for our students to re drape the hair for the waxing just like shown
only thing different i do when i practice is use the finger for the blood exposure
And that’s completely fine may y students use the finger 😊
Can we wear gloves if we wanted to and if we do will it deduct points
If you wish to hear gloves I don’t see why not 😊 I doubt they take point off for doing that .
Could I use the same cape for the hair cutting section?
I would suggest to change it for the haircut and than again for the chemicals
Okay thank you
taking test the Tuesday before Turkey day
All will go great!
Can all that be in one bag gloves cotton etc
Sure. Everyone packs different
Texas still has the practical? Arizona it’s a written practical
I thought it was changed in all states wow
Nope Texas all students must do a theory computer test and a practical hands on test once the theory portion has been passed .
What is post wax product ? At the end of the
Astringent
Oh ok
n texas are we no longer doing the strip lash section?
That’s correct you do NOT was removed 9/1/23
what a relief lol ur amazing thank you for responding im testing on the 9th before my hrs expire on the 14 of feb so im low key freaking out any recommendations i test once before when i wasnt ready but i know this next time with ur videos ill pass but in the case that i dont anything that i should consider doing before hand or after to extend my my time before expiring hrs i hope that makes sense also, I was wondering any place that you would recommend or I could go and have someone watch me professionally yo make sure im doing my test correctly

thank you so much much ur so helpful i appreciate ur quick response and all ur help
Psi never said to check temperature of wax
They say very minimal in the bulletin, the way done is mimicking what you would actually do on a real person
Can we tell use t pin
You can if you would like
And do we throw everything as soon as we’re doing using it or at the end of the service
My teachers said to label as “soft wax”. Should I put mock wax instead?
Also, what post wax product are we applying? Is that what the astringent is for?
You can label it soft wax that’s fine . And yes the astringent is the post product
