5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Picture Book, but they are good pictures, September 17, 2002

By	purplebubba (Detroit Area, MI) - See all my reviews

I can understand that people would be upset that this book does not have instructions for the styles. The editorial review does lead people to believe that this book explains things. It really doesn't explain anything. Then again most magazines don't explain styles either. This book is meant for choosing a style. If you are using this book for that purpose then its a great book. This would be a great book for salons to have in their lobby.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of nice hairstyles- but I need more instruction!, March 30, 1999

By A Customer

I am by no means a hair stylist- I need a little more help with achieving these styles. It would help greatly to know how to cut the hair to get that great look! Someone else might be able to give it one look and know just how to cut the hair. We beginners need a little more help. A good book though for ideas, and maybe you could take it to your hair stylist who could cut your hair the way it looks in the picture.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Book!, March 29, 2003

By	Lily "Random*Oddity" (Livermore, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I generally enjoyed this book, and I do think that it is a good reference for people looking to change the way their hair is styled. However...

Note to Potentially Dissatisfied Customers:

This book is NOT a book that tells you how to braid your hair or put it up. It is a book that gives you ideas on ways to cut your hair or restyle it at the length that it already is. If you are looking to find ways of putting your hair up, I recommend "Hair" by Anne Akers Johnson instead of this book.
