Well, it's the authoritative text, but I find it to be flat and lacking as far as design theory. It leaves much to be desired, but then again, all the other students call me an overachiever. I guess it's suitable for the average beauty school dropout.

A very informative book for both the beginner and intermediate student. Even if you are not a professional, this book will still give you plenty of tips that you can incorporate into your daily routine.

A textbook for cosmetology; picked up for potential use at home or in the classroom. There are excellent pictures depicting various cosmetological procedures and it is nice to understand care for these types of things. This is more for reference/resource than pleasure reading.

For school.
This book was written by different authors and you could tell they didn't agree on everything. It had some opinions for definitions too, instead of just plain facts; but I had to read it for school (to pass my state boards that is).

This is just the basics of cosmetology, and for that it's pretty good, though a little unclear in places.

Didn't really teach me anything new...just basics that I've gathered from too many years of reading women's magazines and makeup books. Disappointing!

It has a lot of information, but didn't give me information I was looking for. Tries to cover everything, but it does so at the expense of depth.
