5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect advice for the amateur hairdresser!, 9 Jun 2009
By Wayne Redhart "Also on Twitter!" (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This is a marvellous book, that contains a positive wealth of information for those who are looking to have a go at hairdressing. One finds a variety of simple techniques that can produce surprisingly professional looking results. My wife has had a tremendous degree of success with the "bowl-cut", on our young son Crispin. However, more advanced students of style will doubtless want to keep up with the times by trying some of the more complex contemporary styles. Our elder son Horace has been looking as cool as a cummerbund, ever since his mother surprised him with a hip and happening 'wedge'!

Anyway, top stuff! If you want to see some of the results, go ahead and feast your eyes upon my profile pic!
