Customer Reviews

This is a very useful book!
Hi! I'm a student of cosmetology and I bought this book looking for complementary information besides my courses at my Cosmetology School. I found this text very very useful and above all, very easy to understand. This book covers every basic knowledge a student and haircolor lover needs to know: Color process, fillers, corrective color, the level system, basic color applications (virgin, retouch and artificial pigments removal), the law of color, lots of tips, cautions, recommendations and more. The book also includes some more advanced techniques such as foiling, bleaching and the special techniques which I found very interesting and beautiful to try, they are 15 in total and are all included and explained in detail in one chapter. There are also short sections of questions and activities with their corresponding answers (they are short and practical!) At the end of the book the reader will find a glossary, a Manufacturers' Hotline Numbers list and some "Note pages" for the reader to wrote down notes, questions, formulas, ideas or whatever he/she wants. I highly recommend this book to all the students who need stronger bases and to every person who loves color and wants to do it the right way!!!

MILADY'S STANDARD HAIR COLORING MANUEL AND ACTIVITIES BOOK: A LEVEL SYSTEM APPROACH
Not what I thought it would be. The book emphasizes the activities more than the instruction. There are some good things in the book overall as far as types of haircoloring procedures. Overall, I wish I had not ordered the book and kept my $35.99

Good intro book
This book gives a good introduction on hair coloring, a lot of theory and a large number of interesting tips, however it falls short on the most important topic: Formulating. The book explains all the elements to consider when formulating, but doesn't explain in depth how to combine them all and how to build the actual formula for every case you might encounter.
Less important, this book is printed in black and looks as if it was designed for color printing and comes back an annoying number of times on "how to make big money coloring hair".
Despite the shortcomings, there are interesting thing to learn from this book and it might be useful as complement to the other Milady haircoloring book.
