Overall, this is a great book to have. I bought it just for the lymphatic drainage information; the rest I didn't care about.
It goes into a lot of detail, and has many graphics and diagrams. The one problem I had with this book is a confusing step in the lymphatic drainage instructions. I actually think they made a typo, since it made no sense how they referred to some imaginary lines as horizontal when the other things they said only made sense if they were vertical. So, it's easy to get confused with these instructions, but they are not vague because that could be confusing too.
I'm very happy with this purchase, since I would prefer instructions to be too detailed rather than too vague, and with some practice, I think it would seem a lot more simple.
The only other thing I can think of is that they mention some basic services and don't go in depth too much. They only mention very common basic ingredients with them, so if you're a licensed esthetician already, you would probably be familiar with what they wrote and it would have been a lot more beneficial if they covered a greater variety of ingredients.

I am all in all very happy with my recent purchase of this book, it has the information I was looking for, and more!

I own my own Bath and Body care business and have been wanting to venture out and further my education in the area, as I feel the only true way to really know Bath and body products is to use them all the time and know HOW to use them. This book suites me very well in that, mind you it is a simply stepping stone to my all in all venture, but no regrets as of yet. I like how it goes into detail over the actual blood born pathogens, the information on disinfecting and sterilizing, and also the information on how the whole certification and licensing process goes.

I like it so far, it is full of useful information that is well needed in the careers of Spa treatments.
