David Adams is one of the UKÂ's leading hair colourists and is technical director at the AVEDA Salon in Harvey Nichols, London. His reputation for technical brilliance and innovation in new techniques mean he commands the utmost respect from the industry and trust from his clients. As such, he is the ideal author of a book on hair colouring for his fellow professionals, students training as hairdressers, and those involved in teaching and training.

I bought this book for my employee's to look at in my salon...I had no idea what an amazing reference book this would be...The girls immediately got excited and couldn't believe all the great color and foil techniques..Sooo much fun and is a must have for any stylist or salon owner. Really is a great all around book for color correction and many color placement ideas...great investment...I wish there were more books out there like this one..Which is so reasonably priced..A+

I'm a cosmetology student who has had a few months of "basic" hair colouring. This book gave me some new ideas and tools to expand my knowledge. I highly recommend it!
