Cut and shave facial hair to<br />
shape using basic techniques<br />
Through this unit you will develop the ability to reshape<br />
beards and moustaches on African type hair. Being able to<br />
identify the condition of your client’s face, skin and facial<br />
hair will determine which products, tools and techniques<br />
to use. You will develop a sound knowledge of suitable<br />
products for home use which will enable you to provide<br />
your client with good aftercare advice.<br />

Achieving observations<br />
and range<br />
Achieving observation outcomes<br />
Your assessor will observe your performance<br />
of practical tasks. The minimum number<br />
of observations required is indicated in the<br />
evidence requirements section of this unit.<br />
Criteria may not always naturally occur during<br />
a practical observation. In such instances you<br />
will be asked questions to demonstrate your<br />
competence in this area. Your assessor will<br />
document the criteria that have been achieved<br />
through oral questioning.<br />
Your assessor will sign off an outcome when all<br />
criteria have been competently achieved in a<br />
single client service.<br />
Achieving range<br />
The range section indicates what must<br />
be covered. Ranges must be practically<br />
demonstrated as part of an observation. Your<br />
assessor will document the portfolio reference<br />
once a range has been competently achieved.<br />
