What really happens when the spa door closes, the shades shut, and the staff thinks no one is looking? In Spa Wars: The Ugly Truth about the Beauty Industry, seasoned esthetician Lora Condon provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the beauty industry while sharing her personal experiences working in day spas, at cosmetic counters, and as a freelance makeup artist. Lora Condon has been a licensed esthetician for over ten years. Through mouth-dropping, laugh-out-loud personal anecdotes, she reveals all the dirty secrets of the spa and cosmetic and beauty industries. As she uncovers common lies and myths propagated by cosmetic companies, advertisers, and magazines, Condon also addresses common questions and complaints about beauty issues, provides easy-to-apply tips and tricks such as how to keep skin looking young and fresh, and shares her favorite beauty and health items as well as the best therapists, treatments, and organizations. Spa Wars uncovers the ugly truths of a fascinating industry for anyone who has ever wondered what their bikini waxer is really thinking while ripping out their hair.

This book is less about the 'truth of the beauty industry' and more about the author gossiping, complaining, and whining about everyone she's every worked with and every place she's ever worked! As a spa consultant and buyer, I was hoping for a humorous, insightful book, and instead got a repetitive, trash talking, poorly edited (self-published) 'bitch book', with NO humor to it whatsoever. I would never recommend this book to anyone!

This book is a hilarious! I literally laughed out loud. A fast and fun read. You'll have great stories to retell to your friends! Absolutely loved it - no one is spared. Lora also does exceptionally excellent facials and massages - if you live nearby, don't miss out on her services. She is worth it!

Truthful
Being in the industry I felt like I was reading about my own experiences. The stories were truthful but the writing was terrible, choppy and incomplete.

Regret I bought this!!!!
This book is absolute trash. This book is poorly written and at an attempt at humor is profoundly and boringly vulgar.

Sometimes good, sometimes ANNOYING.
This book had some good, informative moments and amusing stories. Some anecdotes dragged on a bit and in some cases, I wasn't certain of the point, as it just meandered aimlessly. Read more
