I have used this book to cut my daughter's hair, my son's hair, my husband's hair, my hair, and several friends' children's hair. The drawings are great, the instructions are clear, and the author even tells you exactly what kind of scissors and comb to buy!

I bought this book based on a recommendation I read here at Amazon. I am so glad I did. It gives great advice on what kinds of scissors to use (I bought an inexpensive pair as part of a hair cutting kit at a beauty supply house). It also talks about other supplies and various diversionary tactics to keep your child still while you cut his/her hair. Compared to several other books I saw in the stores, the instructions are extrememly clear and no-nonsense. Perfect for a parent with no hair cutting experience.

There are step by step instructions for three haircuts for boys and three for girls, plus guidelines for babies of either sex. The girls cuts may not be contemporary enough for some people, but are the basic single length and layered cuts. Plus there are instructions for French braids.

The boys' cuts are the wedge (bowl cut), a short layered cut, and a buzz cut using clippers. I've been doing the wedge cut on my son (now 28 mos) for about 6 months. The instructions are clear and the results speak for themselves. Everyone asks where I get his hair cut! I highly recommend this book. The cost of the book and some decent shears would be dwarfed by what I would have spend on cuts at a barber shop or salon.

I originally checked this book out from our local library and found it so helpful that I plan to buy it for my own collection. After winging it for many years I finally have a guide that helps me give my son and daughter great haircuts ... for FREE! A great book!

Easy to follow step by step instructions to save you money and frustration in your child's hair cuts. The results are the best reward of all. Professional hair cuts from the convenience of your own home. A must for all parents interested in saving time and money.

A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR ANY PARENT WHO WOULD LIKE TO CUT THEIR CHILDS HAIR AT HOME!

This book is better than a lot of other ones out there! I'm glad that I bought it! It is clearly written, with helpful illustrations.

This book only has three boy hair cuts to choose from. The instructions seem clear but the haircuts only include a buzz, a traditional layered and a wedge cut. If I needed instructions for a simple buzz cut I would just take him into the barber! I'm disappointed.

Love it! Much better than another one I got before this. Very precise and helpful all the way through the cut. I just wish it had more choices for boys' cuts.
