I would have liked to have seen more color illustrations, but this is a very good book to have if you're interested in hair coloring. Although it seems to be written for cosmetology students, the material is written in a very simple, straightforward way that laypeople can understand.

The info is good. Im a cosmetology student, so I can actually understand the content. The pictures are not very good. I would like to see color pictures, w/maybe a Manikin demonstration, something other than the simple drawings provided.

1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Figure it out, March 8, 2007

This review is from: The Haircoloring Manual: A Practical Guide to Successful Haircoloring (Paperback)

I was looking for a manual that would tell me how to color my hair at home. Recently, I went to a beauty supply store and they told me what color I should use and how to mix it so I wanted more information. Whenever I get my hair done at a salon, it is either the wrong color or they don't cover all the gray. So I was hoping I could just do the base color at home and then go somewhere to have it highlighted, but I guess I am just going to let it grow the way it does and leave it alone. This book was a waste of money and time.
