Pivot Point Barbering 108 Practice Exam

Which type of beard design is primarily focused on the chin?

1. Goatee

2. Full beard

3. Mutton chops

4. Van Dyke

The correct answer is: Goatee

The goatee is primarily focused on the chin because it consists of hair that is specifically grown on the chin area, often complemented by a small mustache. This style emphasizes the chin as it is predominantly the focal point of the facial hair design. The goatee can come in various shapes and lengths, but its defining characteristic is the hair that remains on the chin, which can create a narrower appearance to the face and enhance the jawline. In contrast, a full beard covers the entire jaw and cheeks, creating a more uniform and fuller appearance, while mutton chops encompass the sideburns and often include hair on the jaw without a connected chin patch. The Van Dyke combines a goatee with a mustache but is focused more on the combination overall rather than just the chin area.
