I bought this book a couple years ago because we have four boys and my husband had always cut their hair. They were getting old enough that they wanted it to look a little more professional, so it was either spend a bunch at a barber or learn how to do it differently.

This book was a huge help. My husband was able to learn new ways of cutting so that the boys were happy with the results, and they didn't look as if they'd gotten their hair done in the middle of the kitchen, which is an important thing for teens;-).

Viggiano's helpful step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations make the book very easy to use It's organized logically, and the tips included make it possible for virtually anyone to achieve good results.

I estimate that by doing all the haircuts for each of the boys for 18 years, we've saved almost $9000 (calculating one $10 haircut per boy per month for 18 years). And for the ones who are over 18, and still getting haircuts at home, the savings keep climbing.

Lisa's book will not only rescue a lot of people from bad haircuts, it will also help you save a lot of money. I highly recommend it!

This book is wonderful! It is easy to follow and has very good instruction. I found it really helpful because my son was very afraid of the "barber shop" and with this we are able to give him a great hair cut at home.

This book takes the mystery out of cutting hair. As other reviews have noted, it is especially good for learning how to cut your children's hair. Doing so will save you a ton of money in the long run. There are many photos and plenty of simple instructions that make it easy for anyone to learn. Who knows - this may inspire you to become a stylist yourself!

I was given this book as a gift. It turns out that it was a very money saving tool. This book is very easy to follow. I especially was interested in the chapter on using hair clippers.

The pages of this book lay flat, which makes it much easier to follow the instructions while actually using the clippers. It repeats the important steps on each page, so that you are not constantly turning back pages. The print is large enough to see while it sits on the counter.

I started out using the larger guard as recommended , to get the feel of how much hair was being removed. This gave me the confidence to go to the next smaller size, etc. until I accomplished my finished cut. I now use the clippers with ease, and my family members are very satisfied.

I used the instructions to cut my husband's hair and he loves it! The binding on the book is so helpful so you can refer to instructions while cutting.
I have several friends who are stay at home moms and also home school. This book gives great instructions on how to save a little extra money while spiffing the kids up!

This is a wonderful book. I cut my children's hair, and I keep this book close by every time. The diagrams are simple and easy to follow, and you don't have to know anything about hair styling to get started. It doesn't go over your head and use a lot of jargon. I have saved so much money with this book, it is well worth it! It is spiral bound so it lays flat for easy reference while you're working. After a while, you start to feel like a pro yourself! The same author came out with a book specifically for cutting bangs, that is also well worth the investment as it goes into more detail about bangs.

This book, and her book on bangs makes a great gift for any family who wants to DIY and learn something new!

Have cut sons hair for long time, but was looking for more instruction. This book has helped.

Thought I was just going to be able to cut my family's hair, but using the techniques on my own hair was just as easy! We haven't paid for a haircut in over a year, I figure we've saved over $200 dollars so far.

Lisa has truly written a great book, with concise instructions and great photos. I also love the comb binding because it lays flat.

This book is great for someone who never picked up a scissor to cut bangs. This was really basic. Use this book for your younger kids only. The older kids would want something more stylish. Don't attempt it on your husband.
