This book is hysterical! I could not put it down except to run to the bathroom to keep from pee'ing my pants because it is so funny! Amy Miller had me from the first chapter. I can't wait to see what she come up with next! Chelsea Handler - watch out!

Hair stylists, like bartenders hear it all. Clearly people tell their stylists EVERYTHING. And here Amy Miller is revealing much - in a kind, anonymous, and hilarious way. A really good stylist is one part artist, one part chemist, and about three parts clinical psychologist. Amy Miller is all of those and can now add talented author to the mix. If you have ever stepped foot in a salon, you won't be able to put this book down. Her prescient observations and self-effacing wit keep you turning page after page until the timer has gone off on the oven and the clothes have wrinkled in the dryer. I got little else done the day I picked up this book and it was well worth it.

This book is light, funny and honest. Amy Miller has a knack for retelling her adventures of hair styling, and also delving into the more serious side of the hair industry. I worked in a hair salon for six years in the 1980's, and caught myself laughing out loud (and wincing) more than once thanks to Amy's reminiscing. A quick, enjoyable read.

The book was funny, charming, insightful, and inspiring regardless of your chosen profession. I highly recommend it.

Hair*apy Lighlights & Lowlights is a fun read whether you're a stylist or not. She transports you into the challenging and hilarious world of a hair salon. Amy Miller entertains you with her great wit and wonderful personality. A MUST READ for anyone contemplating a career in hair styling!

Fun, light-hearted, endearing... Amy Miller draws readers into the up-beat and creative, albeit at times cut-throat and capricious, world of the salon industry. At times you will literally laugh out loud at some of the outrageous situations and characters the author writes about; other times, you will comfortably relate to everyday life. An enjoyable quick read for the wannabe stylist, the established stylist, or for anyone who likes to laugh.

I have to admit I had not thought much about what it is like to work in a hair salon and was entertained by this insider book about the life, laughs, struggles, and methods of coping with doing someones hair everyday. I really like the beginning of this book as the author talks about how she always knew what she wanted to do and her evolution from hair school to working in some pretty bad salons to eventually running her own salon. Amy clearly has a great and healthy sense of humor and does a good job offending everyone and no one so it is all laughs and also very touching as she learns the hard way that life can give you some pretty hard knocks. This book comes from the heart and I highly recommend it!

What a not only funny book, but a life enlightening book too! I would highly recommend it to anyone.
