5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reading for any amateur hair stylist!,
By George Elliott (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Simply Cut Hair (Paperback)
Even though the price of this book was a bit high for me at around $15, in retrospect, it was worth every cent. The many, many pictures that are included in this book make this book stand out from the other hair styling books. If I were to go to a hair styling academy to learn to cut hair, it would cost me at least $12,000 to receive my license. I don't really want a license as I just want to be able to cut my family's hair, and this book is really a bargain because it does just that. It is written by a woman who graduated with a bachelor's degree in fine arts and then went to a beautician's school to learn the trade so she is very well-rounded, educated, and professional without being condescending. By buying this book, you can save a lot of money cutting your family and friend's hair of both genders, i.e. men and women.

Has your haircutter stopped listening?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Simply Cut Hair (Paperback)
This book is good if you can't get your haircutter to make the minor alterations you would like...or if she has a preconceived notion of how your hair ought to look. You will be able to go a lot longer between trips to the salon for a major overhaul...or if you are feeling a little reckless, this book will help you do the major overhaul yourself!

I hate beauty shops!,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Simply Cut Hair (Paperback)
How I hate beauty shops! I cannot afford high end prices and do not care for hands-on care at all.[unlike a friend who goes every week].This book is perfect with easy to understand directions and diagrams, who cares if the pictures are just rough sketches.With a good pair of sheers and a comb to measure with I can finally do something with this curly head, and a little help to tidy a stray neckline from a friend. Thank you, thank you!
