Book Reviews of Haircutting For Dummies
Book Review: Illiterate
Summary: 1 Stars
Elaine Spear may know how to use scissors, but she has less than a sophomoric comprehension of the English language. The book is unclear, confusing, and the pictures are even worse. This woman drove my wife crazy, and I was forced to try to read portions of the book to make sense of Spear's concepts. Impossible. Thank you, Elaine, for making my night so painful. Oh, and thanks to the editor, who also should not collect a paycheck.

Book Review: a bad haircut and here you are...
Summary: 5 Stars
What is it about a bad haircut ~ I mean a truly, truly BAD haircut, so bad my husband didn't even recognize me when I walked out of the salon ~ that drives people to "Haircutting for Dummies"? I know I'm not the only one who has been in this DIRE situation. This is a good guide, a little confusing in places, but that confusion might be me, but overall a very helpful guide. If only this book could grow out bad haircuts... at least it can help fix them.Book Review: Haircutting for Dummies
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has saved me a lot of money and grief while cutting my family's hair. Having a whole book's worth of professional haircutting tips is priceless. I recommend Haircutting For Dummies to everyone who wants to cut their children's, husband's, wife's or friends' hair. I agree that Ms. Spear does promote haircutting as a career, but that's fine with me. I like getting insider tips about how to make my family look their best.Book Review: This book is poorly written and confusing.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book to save a little cash by learning to cut my own hair. In 300+ pages this book does not give any basic instruction (implied in the title "For Dummies") but instead goes on for almost the entire length of the book about cutting very specific styles in an innane step-by-step "instruction" that nobody but the writer could possibly follow. Waste of time and money.Book Review: Very helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
Between watching my son's barber and using this book, I am getting pretty good at cutting his hair. The book's instructions are very clear. In general, it is hard to learn how to cut hair from just reading a book by itself. But, I think this is as good as any haircutting book can be. With some patience and practice you can save alot of money.
