Just Testing: Prepared or Panicked?


How useful would you be in a medical emergency at your salon? Having a basic first-aid kit isn’t enough; you need to understand what each situation requires and be ready to react calmly and competently. Take the quiz below, and not only will you learn your “emergency IQ,” you’ll receive a chance to win one of five special gift packages from China Glaze/American International Industries (chinaglaze.com). Hint: The answers can be found in the NAILPRO August article, “Salon 911: First Aid in the Salon.”

 

For each of the questions below, select the answer you believe is correct. We’ll select at random five (5) entrants from those who’ve answered all five questions correctly, and those people will each receive a package containing a bottle each of China Glaze White Tea Massage Oil and White Tea Manicure Soak, both infused with tea extracts for a rich, antioxidant treatment, and a China Glaze Manicure Tea Cup/Soaking Bowl and Saucer.
