Title: This book is not the first step to take
Review: As I said in another review, learning a skill from a book alone is extremely difficult. But good ones will at least give you a taste and somewhat of a foundation to explore further. This book is not terrible, but I would not recommend it as the first one. The drawings all look the same and they are very dated hair styles. The text is clear, but somewhat different than the information in another book (Handel's "Cutting Your Family's Hair"), so it can get confusing. A better book would need photos of every step and more detailed info. If, after studying other how-tos and practicing for a bit, then this book might give you another angle to ponder, but I would say use it only as an additional reference, rather than a sole resource.
Is the review positive or negative?
