I have spent the past couple of years looking at YouTube videos about how to create vintage hairstyles, and even splashed out on a one to one lesson with a vintage hairdresser. I found this book to be a good companion, consolidating some of the knowledge I have learned. So here are some pros and cons:
PROS
1. An ideal gift - the book is beautifully laid out with clear photos, and has a nice textured hardcover. Very pretty.
2. Clear and easy to follow instructions - I have successfully created some of the styles from the book (a beehive style, no less!)
3. It also shows photographs of current celebrities sporting vintage styles "Then and Now" - I feel this is very useful and encourages people to experiment bringing vintage styles into modern life.
4. Good basic information about the type of haircut to sport to make each style work and a bit about tools.
CONS
1. I'd like more technical information about how to handle hair, and potential problems you could encounter creating these styles. There is some, but it's fairly basic.
2. Some of the styles are very tricky and do require practice - this isn't really a con of the book, but it does suggest all hairstyles can be created yourself. Whilst I don't doubt this is true, it isn't always going to be an easy ride until you've had some practice so do bear that in mind!
So the cons aren't really big problems. I say, if you're interested in having a hands on reference to styling hair in this manner, here is an excellent introduction and I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with it.

This book is really nicely presented even if some of the models are abit scary.
I did feel though that it was more like an introduction and was missing the rest of the book.
There is NOT a lot of styles.
I recommend this book if you have short hair because most of the styles are for you.
I also recommend it for those who want just a couple of hair styles to try.
