4.0 out of 5 stars Unchallenged Resource, December 20, 2005

This review is from: Milady's Standard Textbook of Professional Barber-Styling (Hardcover)

Like the closely related workbook (sold separately), this stands out due to the lack of competition.

Its comprehensiveness and accessibility exists without comparative examples.

Again, one unproven resource always will helps if no other exists.
