Information on chemistry is very complete, understandable, and presented in an interesting manner. I especially like the awareness of the importance of protecting workers against carcinogenic vapors.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The second edition is even better than the first,
By nailbait "Dyan" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nail Structure and Product Chemistry (Paperback)
Although some of the information is the same as in the first edition, it is packed with information that is not usually included in the Nails textbooks. Again, it explains everything in plain language, and some of the items are updated. I have incorporate the information from the first text into my lectures at school since it helps the students to understand exactly what I am talking about. I am now adding information from the second edition to update my lectures!

If you only have one nail textbook, this is the one you should own,
By Mindy Borrego (Granby, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nail Structure and Product Chemistry (Paperback)
Mr. Schoon has greatly expounded upon his first edition of this excellent text. Content has nearly doubled, and he has included not only standard topics such as nail anatomy, adhesives, and product chemistry (which are vital for any nail technician to understand), but he has also added chapters such as "The Safe Salon" and "The Healthy Salon," among others. This new text includes great color photos. This text, set in a story format, includes a "Fast Track" which highlights the important facts of each chapter, as well as "Review Questions." Mr. Schoon's down-to-earth writing makes the most intimidating topics easy to understand. This book is an outstanding resource for nail technician and instructor.
