I bought this book not knowing exactly what was in it. I have short hair that I'm growing out, but of the 38 hairstyles featured, only 3 were appropriate for my length. On the other hand, if you're looking for ideas for hairstyles beyond the typical chignon, half-ony-tail, etc., this is a great book. It's even good for do-it-yourselfers who are looking for something creative to do, but not looking to go to a salon to get it. Well worth the money if you're looking for any of the above and you have shoulder length or longer hair.

I am a hairdresser that specializes in weddings and I was very disappointed in this book. When I purchased it there were no reviews, unfortunately. It was beautifully put together but the hairstyles were really unflattering and unattractive. There were hardly any I would even show to a bride as a potential, they were too out of date. The instructions were not detailed enough for a beginning hairstylist (I'm assuming that was the target reader group). I would recommend Martin Parson's "Hairdreams" instead of this. Although you can tell the authors worked hard to make this a lovely book, they took some serious wrong turns in the hairstyle picks and instructions. I wouldn't be so harsh if this book wasn't so expensive!

I expected the whole book to be about hair and have a wealth of hair styles. I really didn't need all the advice the first part of the book gives. I also expected the book to have more updated styles. This book would definately look pretty on your salon reception table and would appeal to a novice. But someone who is doing bridal hair now might not find this book helpful. If the cost was less, the book might be worth keeping.
