 Love this book!, 2008-09-19
I have fine, thin hair. No one likes to deal with it, so I have to cut it myself. I have NO HAIR talent. I have collected a number of hair-cutting books. My hair is one length with bangs. This book has given me information that allows me to get the ends to curl under and not have flat bangs. That makes this book a winner for me. I don't know about the other hair-cuts in the book, because I haven't tried them. Thanks Laurie Punches!

 How to BASICALLY cut hair (not "simply"), 2008-01-16
I was excited to get this book. But after reading it, I'm a little disappointed. In a few instances, I found more explanation was needed. No matter how many times I read over certain parts, I still don't get what she's saying. I get the general idea of her point of view, and I feel I could do an okay job cutting my son's hair. But I'm not prepared to tackle my husband's head. I'm looking into videos that can give me more info. This book is VERY basic, AND dated. (But it's difficult to find a book on hair-cutting that's NOT dated.) It doesn't even teach how to cut hair so it has a natural flip, which is very common these days.

 This book is not the first step to take, 2007-07-20
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.

Now I Am A Pro, 2007-01-09
This little book showed me how to cut hair---my own. O.K. so I remember how my own hairdresser cut my hair, but the method in the book is fool-proof. People ask me where I had my hair cut, because it is so perfectly cut, and I tell them, "At my house, so come over and I will cut yours." I have no training to cut hair. This book showed me well, and now I cut my hair the way I want it, and not "Way too short" the way all dumb hairdressers cut it.

Excellent reading for any amateur hair stylist!, 2005-10-05
Even though the price of this book was a bit high for me at around $15, in retrospect, it was worth every cent. The many, many pictures that are included in this book make this book stand out from the other hair styling books. If I were to go to a hair styling academy to learn to cut hair, it would cost me at least $12,000 to receive my license. I don't really want a license as I just want to be able to cut my family's hair, and this book is really a bargain because it does just that. It is written by a woman who graduated with a bachelor's degree in fine arts and then went to a beautician's school to learn the trade so she is very well-rounded, educated, and professional without being condescending. By buying this book, you can save a lot of money cutting your family and friend's hair of both genders, i.e. men and women.
