4.0 out of 5 stars Principles and Practices of Electrical epilation, July 27, 2007

This review is from: Principles and Practice of Electrical Epilation, Third Edition (Paperback)

As one of the most recent publications on professional epilation, it was up-to-date and well written. There are a number of chapters to do with running a business in Great Britain which are of no value to those operating elsewhere and chapters regarding general first aid and marketing which are not necessary. Otherwise, I found it a very good text, easy to read and comprehend.
