I find this book to be the best on the market for anyone interested in the art of professional haircolor. I have taught haircolor for the past thirty years and this is the first haircolor book I have found to be dead on correct. I would recommend it for novice haircolorist as well as professionals who have been in the business for a long time.

I always keep this book at my station to use as a reference when needed. Of the many haircoloring books I have read, this is the only one I would recommend for any and every hairstylist, no matter what their level of experience. It addresses every point of haircoloring theory in a clear, concise manner, and does not refer to any specific line of color, making this book practical for every stylist, no matter what color line they use.

Excellent presentation of info for the professional hairdresser. Good for any level of expertise. How to of hair color and the WHY behind it. I loved the details...(for example, they explain WHY and HOW chlorine turns hair brittle and green, not just a boring statement of the fact that it does and some ways to reverse that.)

Nice photos, well laid out, a little pricey but LOTS cheaper than a class.

This book is full of detailed, basic (and beyond) information about haircolor. This is not a frivolous book with how-to photos but an in-depth, educational presentation. It's a wise purchase for the serious student of haircolor.

I am a cosmetology educator and I use this book to help me teach my students. Excellent for cosmetology students or some one who has been out of the business and wants to brush up on coloring . A little to basic for advanced professionals.

By far the best book on hair coloring that I ever came across. Covers theory and formulating in depth. It has a lot of practical examples, explains many problem situations and remedies.
The only possible drawback is that this book frequently has to refer to your color manufacturer's documentation - and it is not so easy to find good technical product documentation that is level with the high quality of this book.

This is an excellent book, well written and very easy to understand.It clarified a lot in my mind about color.Well worth the money!

As a Master hair colorist of many years in New York and an educator, I use this book as a guide to teach my students. Well put together, valuable information, very detailed, easy to understand. I was very happy to find this "helper"!

This book is really easy for beginners like me. Before reading the book, I have barely touched on the surface of hair coloring; but going through the book, things seem to be very clear and easy for me.

However, I am not reading the book to be a hairdresser. I read it to understand more about the business of hair care in which I am working as a distributor.

This book is brilliantly written and researched. It can be read at all levels of background. I highly recommend it for the colorist that wants to be knowledgeable. I picked it up and couldn't put it down.
