5.0 out of 5 stars The book contained everything I needed to do my course work, 18 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Practical Guide to Beauty Therapy for NVQ Level 2 (Paperback)
This book is written in plain english, all the technical terms are explained fully in easy to understand terms. I have not had to look at another book. I have puchased this again after misplacing my first copy and would not attend collage without it. All the diagrams are well presented and easy to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars No level 2 Beauty Therapy student should be without this book, 13 Sep 2008
It was my good fortune to study under Janet Simms (a foremost authority in Beauty Therapy) who was instrumental in inspiring many students to carry forward their beauty therapy skills in to the workplace; and responsible for passing on all the traditional technical and practical application skills necessary for the modern beauty therapist to become a skilled practitioner. All the very best techniques are covered in this practical guide; with an emphasis on quality of client care and the highest of salon treatments and standards. This book is the most informative of all the standard Level 2 Beauty Therapy books available at the time of writing. Janet Simms proves her worth a hundred times over in this expertly written text. No level 2 Beauty Therapy student should be without this book. This is a standard text book that will be around for a very long time.
