What constitutes gross malpractice or incompetence in barbering?

  1. Cutting hair too short

  2. Providing service while under the influence of drugs or alcohol

  3. Refusing service based on hair type

  4. Using non-sanitized tools

The correct answer is: Providing service while under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Gross malpractice or incompetence in barbering refers to a barber's failure to fulfill their professional duties and responsibilities, resulting in harm or injury to a client. Cutting hair too short or refusing service based on hair type may not necessarily cause harm to a client and would therefore not be considered gross malpractice. Using non-sanitized tools is a health and safety concern, but it does not involve a violation of professional standards or the duty to provide competent services. On the other hand, providing services while under the influence of drugs or alcohol poses a significant risk to the health and safety of clients, and can result in serious harm or injury. This is why choosing option B as the correct answer is important in identifying gross malpractice or incompetence in barbering.
