Best Book I've Ever Read,
By Judy Storm (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Milady's Nail Structure and Product Chemistry (Paperback)
Thanks to Doug Schoon for writing such a truly useful and insightful book. I thought it would be hard to read, but I read it in one day. I just couldn't stop. I've read it again several times since. It was so exciting to finally have truthful answers to my questions. This book should be required reading for everyone in the professional salon industry. Mr. Schoon is a wonderfully talented writer who takes the time to explain things in everyday lanauge. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Very comprehensive and easy to read,
By Debbie Doerrlamm, wkdwich@unix.asb.com (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Milady's Nail Structure and Product Chemistry (Paperback)
As a nail technician, I want to know all about the chemicals I work with everyday. Mr. Schoon's book was simple to read, but even better, easy to understand. The book is non-product specific so it doesn't matter what product line a tech is suing now, or might use in the future.Understanding the chemicals I use gives me a one-up advantage over others in my field.
