Cut hair must be deposited in a

• A. Closed trash can
• B. Open trash bag
• C. Shredder
• D. On floor

Answer: (A)

Proper sanitation and waste containment in a salon means keeping waste like hair clipped and stored in a covered container. A closed trash can prevents loose hair from blowing around, minimizes odors, and reduces the chance of contamination to tools and surfaces while also limiting access to pests. An open trash bag would let hair spill out and spread around the workspace, creating mess and hygiene issues. A shredder isn’t meant for hair waste and could clog or be unsafe to feed with clippings. Placing hair on the floor is unsanitary and creates slip and contamination hazards. So, depositing cut hair in a closed trash can is the correct practice.
