The following persons are legally exempted from the provisions of the barber's license law:

  1. journeymen barbers

  2. barber instructors

  3. registered nurses

  4. master barbers

The correct answer is: registered nurses

Registered nurses are legally exempted from the provisions of the barber's license law when providing certain grooming services, such as haircuts or shaves, as part of their medical practice within a healthcare setting. This exemption allows them to perform these services without needing a barber's license since their primary role involves health and medical care rather than cosmetology or barbering. In contrast, journeymen barbers, barber instructors, and master barbers are all individuals who generally fall under the requirements of the barber's license law, as they are directly involved in the professional practice of barbering. They must obtain the appropriate licensing to legally provide barbering services, reflecting the qualifications and standards set by the licensing board to ensure safe and professional practices within the field.
