Library Journal Review
Readers looking for ideas to take to their hairstylists for special occasions will find this book useful; those looking to get the knack may find it disappointing unless they are working to become hairdressers. Biton is a successful hairstylist based in Tel Aviv, Israel, who has produced other publications to train stylists on a variety of techniques. The illustrations and instructions are thorough, but each style would benefit from a list of tools and products needed to achieve it, as well as tips on what hair lengths and types would be best suited for the look. There is a section on supplies and tips that indicates some hairstyles may require the assistance of a friend, but readers unfamiliar with more advanced techniques might still find some of the content daunting. Those needing well-illustrated, step-by-step instructions for fairly complex hairstyles will appreciate this book. For public libraries without current hairstyling books.--Shelley Brown, New Westminster P.L., B.C. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
