Editorial Reviews

Review

The text is truly the "Estheticians textbook". The past texts were adequate, but it is obvious that this text was written and sanctioned by true esthetic professionals who have actually worked in the field.

This review is from: Student Workbook for Milady's Standard Esthetics: Fundamentals (Paperback)

An all-inclusive book for the student who wants to know all! Chapter on Anatomy is so detailed it ranks with a standard med school course in anatomy. Be prepared to do some heavy memorization. Easily understandable.

This review is from: Student Workbook for Milady's Standard Esthetics: Fundamentals (Paperback)

I can credit this workbook with helping me pass my exams! I found it very helpful to test myself when studying, and with this book, I knew I wasn't missing anything. The only critisism I could make about this book would be that if you're filling in the answers with an open book, there are times with everything is on order and it's too simple (you are not forced to research the answers). Other than that, I can say I am completely satisfied with this book, and would recommend it to students in esthetics.
