This review is from: Hair Coloring: A Hands-on Approach (Paperback)

Hair Coloring: A Hands on Approach is a very informing book. It helps you to understand the difficulties of hair coloring. Patricia Spencer (the author) is very detailed when it comes to explaining the different techniques and procedures of hair coloring. If you knew nothing about hair color and you were to read her book, you would think that you were an expert. The author also explains the how to remove hair color, the different products to use and how to use them. I thought this book was very helpful to me when I needed information in career training. It's a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who is an up and coming cosmetologist. [e-mail]
