4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good all around Beauty School book, August 21, 2005

By	nailbait "Dyan" (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Milady's Standard: Fundamentals for Estheticians (Hardcover)

Most of the chapters are well written and understandable. I have found some discrepancies in the information, and feel that the book could have been edited a little better. The book explains sanitation but does not go into the correct method of sanitizing all items that one would use during a service. The material is quite dry, and could really use something to get the student excited about the occupation that they have chosen.

By	D. Fernandez (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Milady's Standard: Fundamentals for Estheticians (Hardcover)

This is for esthetician students. The information is basic and well organized. The photos sometimes do not follow the text but it reads easily.

3.0 out of 5 stars No Excuses For Milady, March 11, 2007

By	Sara Tinkelman (Rochester, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Milady's Standard: Fundamentals for Estheticians (Hardcover)

As this is the ninth edition of what is alledgedly the most widely used text for beginning estheticians, then the persistent use of mediocre-to-poor science is inexcusable. Doesn't the author consult *anyone* in the scientific/medical community before sending this thing off to the printers? It is *not*, for instance, an established fact that vitamin A protects human beings from cancer of any sort. There is certainly data that looks promising, but that's it. And since vitamin K is manufactured in the intestinal tract, why is paper wasted insisting that students, many of them fresh out of high school, should be memorizing the names of the food sources of this abundant nutrient? Many of these kids struggle with the science that *is* relevent to the profession they hope to enter. My husband is a doctor, I'm an RN, and neither of us has ever used the term "non-striated" muscle. It's "smooth" muscle, for crying out loud! And while I'm on the subject of muscles, absolutely none - not one - healthcare professional I'm acquainted with has ever learned anything about the "belly" of the muscle! No matter - 18 year-old kids have to learn what is not required of first-year medical students. Please. Yes, as a basic introductory text it has much to recommend it; all the more reason to get the science right. S.T., RN, Rochester, NY
