Review

I have used your book to cut both my daughters hair. What a difference knowing what you are really suppose to be doing makes! Cutting hair was more organized and less time consuming. Better yet-it is even! I love looking at the fruits of my labor. --Sue Reese- Homeschool ----Sue Reese- Homeschool Mom

I truly enjoyed The Four Most Common Haircuts That Anyone Can Master. I have been in the hair business for some 25 years. I was behind the chair for about 15 years, and taught for few years in Detroit Michigan. What particularly impressed me,was the way Lisa repeated the important steps. She also stressed the importance of using the previous cut guide, and holding the hair with tension. --Richard and Marilyn Loveday- Past salon owner, stylist, and beauty school educator

The Four Most Common Haircuts That Anyone Can Master is a simple, straightforward guide that presents step-by-step instructions and illustrations needed to learn four basic haircutting techniques. Drawing on over fourteen years of expertise as a stylist and her extensive experience of training people in the haircutting industry, Lisa helps novices, including mothers, wives, and responsible young adults, to try their hand at haircutting, as well as guides beginning stylists to jump-start their careers. Her techniques can be followed by both right-handed and left-handed people, and can be used for cutting all types of hair, whether it is straight, curly, wavy, fine, or thick. In an extremely accessible style, with clear and precise instructions, Lisa takes readers through the techniques for mastering the four haircuts: How to Cut the Bangs, How to Cut an All the Same Length Haircut, How to Cut Short Layers into the Hair, and Cutting with Clippers. She details the four procedures and basic tools needed to accomplish these haircuts, along with the various methods for modifying the basic styles. Right from how to identify the hairline, how to hold the scissors and comb together, where to place your fingers while cutting, and how to divide the hair into segments, to how to locate cowlicks, Lisa explains it all. She also shares valuable tips for a successful haircut, like Hair shrinks up when it dries up. and Leave a little conditioner in the hair after shampooing it. This will make it easier to cut. Easy-to-understand and user-friendly, The Four Most Common Haircuts That Anyone Can Master is well organized and divided into short focused chapters. In each chapter, the text is accompanied by italicized points to remember and a profusion of black-and-white photographs with dotted lines to enable a better understanding of the instructions. The book's compact size, lay-flat, plastic comb binding for ease of use, and durable laminated cover add further appeal. Sitting in the comfort of one's home, with this book as a guide and using a few inexpensive tools, readers can trim both hair and costs. --Bookwire Review Feb 2006

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, user-friendly techniques helped us save a lot of money!, January 8, 2008
This review is from: The Four Most Common Haircuts That Anyone Can Master (Plastic Comb)
I bought this book a couple years ago because we have four boys and my husband had always cut their hair. They were getting old enough that they wanted it to look a little more professional, so it was either spend a bunch at a barber or learn how to do it differently.

This book was a huge help. My husband was able to learn new ways of cutting so that the boys were happy with the results, and they didn't look as if they'd gotten their hair done in the middle of the kitchen, which is an important thing for teens;-).

Viggiano's helpful step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations make the book very easy to use It's organized logically, and the tips included make it possible for virtually anyone to achieve good results.

I estimate that by doing all the haircuts for each of the boys for 18 years, we've saved almost $9000 (calculating one $10 haircut per boy per month for 18 years). And for the ones who are over 18, and still getting haircuts at home, the savings keep climbing.

Lisa's book will not only rescue a lot of people from bad haircuts, it will also help you save a lot of money. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars easy to follow, January 7, 2008
By Amanda Moore "fl girl" (FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Four Most Common Haircuts That Anyone Can Master (Plastic Comb)
This book is wonderful! It is easy to follow and has very good instruction. I found it really helpful because my son was very afraid of the "barber shop" and with this we are able to give him a great hair cut at home.

By Frank F. (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Four Most Common Haircuts That Anyone Can Master (Plastic Comb)
This book takes the mystery out of cutting hair. As other reviews have noted, it is especially good for learning how to cut your children's hair. Doing so will save you a ton of money in the long run. There are many photos and plenty of simple instructions that make it easy for anyone to learn. Who knows - this may inspire you to become a stylist yourself!
