 Very Educational, Broke Down to Mashed Potatohead, Simple February 9, 2009
Tom Collins (Portland, Maine USA)
This Book was very instrumental in teaching about the basics from hair types and styles to producing easily manageable healthy hair cuts and cutting techniques. After a brief introduction to some fundamentals this book breaks steps down into mashed potatohead terms and visualizations steps and techniques a beginner or novice can understand.

This book was very informative for the non professional. You will learn a lot about hair patterns and how to best cut it, however the actual styles in the cut-by-cut guide were very dated and unattractive. It helped me to understand hair better but I don't think I will be a better stylist because of it.
Lots of Detail for the Do -it-yourselfer December 7, 2007

I agree with many on the dated photos and the complexity of the text. This aside, the instructions will enable you to cut hair well without a bowl! A small investment in the book and reasonable amount of time will pay for many kids cuts several times over.
Great value January 8, 2006

As I am not a "dummy," nor do I wish to cut the hair of "dummies," I chose to add this book instead of others like it to my home's Y2K reference library. In the event of possible disruption of the current economy of hairstyling and haircutting, I wanted to assure that the hair of my family would be preserved from reaching abomination-before-the-eyes-of-the-Lord length. This book will give my family a definite survival edge, should that day ever come to pass.
Poor design, some good info ...if you can find it! October 20, 2005

If you can find your way through this book, great! There is a ton of info, but with its poor design and layout, it can be challenging to get through.
This was published by a do-it-yourself publishing company and it shows.
Excessive Text
Eliminate unnecessary and confusing text. This book is helpful, but there is way too much for the reader and it confuses the issues simply because of its poor layout and design.
Update the hair models
These pictures are clearly from the 70s. Camera techniques and photos are poor. Eliminate excessive photos that just don't project detail. Although, some pencil drawings prove more helpful than photos.
Dose of quotes, proverbs, passages
Get rid of the Quotes, Proverbs, Passages from practically every page! There are famous quotes by everybody from George Carlin to Robert Louis Stevenson to Matthew and Confucious. These are distracting, run-on with the normal text and have absolutely no place in a haircutting book.
Most people who peruse haircutting books do so for home haircuts. There is a lot of info on hair shaft, hair grain, texture, hair loss, etc. Included are many pointers, tips, edge-cutting, beard trimming, short, layered, etc., etc.,
So if you have time to get through this book, happy haircutting.... Rizzo
