Home Hair Salon is not as bad as the prior reviewer would make it out to be. I’ve read allot of amateur and professional hair styling manuals (including Milady’s Standard Edition you’d use in a beauty school which is the bible for students) and this one is no different. You can’t substitute practice! Disclaimer: I am not a licensed Cosmetologist either! Just interested in doing my own and spouse’s hair. Home Hair Salon gives you a very basic (albeit a bit over simplified) understanding of what tools you’ll need, how to do very basic cuts with scissors and clippers, etc. It talks about the types of hair coloring, basic perming principals, tools needed, etc. and finally, gives you a few pages of styling tips. It’s better than some I’ve read but is certainly not as all encompassing as a year or two a beauty school. But who can substitute that coursework and experience on the floor if they want to be a PROFESSIONAL? This book is for amateur hair stylists looking for an introduction into doing hair at home. You’ll likely have more questions than answers after reading it but that’s what more advanced books are for. Call it home hair salon 101 if you like. If you know nothing about doing hair, it’s not a bad introduction for $9. 77! Sure, you’ll want to know more. . . But that’s what other more intensive training manuals are for. Hint: get a salon practice mannequin and practice on it before subjecting yourself or your spouse/kids to a bad haircut! Another thing. . . A Flowbee makes the process of cutting your own hair a heck of lot easier. I love it and recommend it highly!

This product promised step-by-step instructions on how to cut and color hair, but has no instructions and is very difficult to follow. Don’t waste your money on this one.
