This is the best hair book in the world! I live by it. In this book the author tells you how all of the tools he describes in the book work and how to use them. After you aquire the knowledge of all hairstyling tools and products (and much more, like hair types), he takes many individuals (men and women) with different hair types, colors, and lengths. He then gives step by step instructions to the exact cut he gave each one, the color he died their hair and most importantly he lists about 8-10 easy steps to how he styled each person's hair. The best part is that there are a few people from each hair type, but he uses different techniques on each one (so if one aproach doesn't work for you, you can try another one!)

This is a great book. It is like an owners manual for your hair. It tells you everything about; brushes, combs, tools, hairtype, and the how to for all the styles and cuts. I didn't see anything offending, all I saw was a well written book.

You can't see anything but the heads and sometimes bare shoulders of the girls. There was one small picture of a playboy cover, but that girl was completed covered too. I don't see how that's offensive at all. About the hairstyles, they were mostly practical and sofisticated, just what I was looking for! I have Charles Worthington's complete book of hairstyling and found that most of those hairstyles were wild and no normal person would ever wear their hair that way. That is not the case of this book. I highly recommend it. I would only wish for even more pictures of styles!

I thought this book was easy to follow, and the how to's seemed easy enough. My only complaint is that there were no brand name product recommendations. It would be nice to know which products the author favors.

I received this book quickly, however halfway through the book relized there was a page missing from it. That was disappointing.

expected more.
pretty much the basics any hair book would have. and the rest of the book was pointless.

This book teaches really useful skills in an easy to understand way. The book covers face shape and styles to compliment that, easy to use techniques, products, etc. Most books seem to either just show styles or dont seem to be able to write about how to create that style at home in a way that works for most people. This book is in a class of its own. I highly recommend it.

This book covers all the basic information on everything about hair: color, texture, brushes, tools, styling, cleansing and conditioning. One of my favorite parts is when the author addresses hair texture and styling, so you can get control over your hair no matter how curly or straight.

The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because a few of the styles are outdated, but overall valuable to an amateur at hair.

TONS of great tips in this book--Kevin Mancuso is a genius! He explains all that crap your stylist does while you're not paying attention. My hair has never looked more beauteous! And I even forgive him for have Cindy Crawford ''write'' the foreword...

This is not a book for professionals. Try Kevyn Aucoin you could learn many useful tips from his book.
