This book is poorly written and dangerously flawed. There is a photo showing an infected cheek and it it labeled as Herpes. This is an error. The photo is of Impetigo. This is a very dangerous mistake. There is a section in this book that has the back muscles listed in the wrong area of the back. There is another diagram where the eyebrows are mislabeled. The reveiw book is just wrong is so many instances. To the authors the book, Fix this! This book sets a very low standard for estheticians and then provides a faulty education. I am ashamed. I am also afraid to read this book and study from it for my test.

Most of the chapters are well written and understandable. I have found some discrepancies in the information, and feel that the book could have been edited a little better. The book explains sanitation but does not go into the correct method of sanitizing all items that one would use during a service. The material is quite dry, and could really use something to get the student excited about the occupation that they have chosen.

As this is the ninth edition of what is alledgedly the most widely used text for beginning estheticians, then the persistent use of mediocre-to-poor science is inexcusable. Doesn't the author consult *anyone* in the scientific/medical community before sending this thing off to the printers? It is *not*, for instance, an established fact that vitamin A protects human beings from cancer of any sort. There is certainly data that looks promising, but that's it. And since vitamin K is manufactured in the intestinal tract, why is paper wasted insisting that students, many of them fresh out of high school, should be memorizing the names of the food sources of this abundant nutrient? Many of these kids struggle with the science that *is* relevent to the profession they hope to enter. My husband is a doctor, I'm an RN, and neither of us has ever used the term "non-striated" muscle. It's "smooth" muscle, for crying out loud! And while I'm on the subject of muscles, absolutely none - not one - healthcare professional I'm acquainted with has ever learned anything about the "belly" of the muscle! No matter - 18 year-old kids have to learn what is not required of first-year medical students. Please. Yes, as a basic introductory text it has much to recommend it; all the more reason to get the science right. S.T., RN, Rochester, NY

This is for esthetician students. The information is basic and well organized. The photos sometimes do not follow the text but it reads easily.

this book is fine, mediocre really. it said it was in "very good" condition but there is writing and highlighting on almost every page.
the thing that really got to me was that it took almost a MONTH to get to me from salvation army books. ridiculous. there's no reason it should take that long for anything to ship within the country.

I bought this book for my skincare class and so far it's been great. Wish it would expand more on the facial massage but so fra it's great.

Great book! It is a very easy read. It has great content and is easy to follow.

I purchased the book for my daughter who is studying beauty therapy and everyone in her class was very jealous. The book has wonderful tips and tricks for her to use and I have been reading it as well - it is fantastic
