Paul might have had second thoughts of me cutting his hair when I read aloud:

Haircutting For Dummies is probably your kind of book... you feel the urge to express your creativity and haircutting is an attractive outlet.

I might also have cackled a little...

The haircut went fine, though by no means was it a salon job: It took almost 45 minutes between me fumbling through pages, trying to hold a comb and scissors at the same time, and all the while standing in the tub.

He was happy with the cut,

He was happy with the cut, and I'm pretty sure I'll be faster next time (yes, there will be a next time).

The book was laid out in a very useful manner, and written in a light-hearted manner as billed. Our haircutting session had started out with Paul checking out the photos to choose a cut. We had a good laugh since the photos and men's styles were a little outdated (2002). The women's cuts were very nice, but I won't be contorting my body to try cutting my own (aside from bangs) any time soon. Also includes good tips for cutting hair for children, and ideas for what to do if you're interested in haircutting as a career.

Definitely will re-read and study (this time a couple of days before a cut).

If this book had pictures to accompany the instructions it would would have been a 5* read.
If your thinking of investing in this book save your money and go on youtube.

I borrowed this from the library to see how to cut men's hair since my boyfriend refuses to spend money to get his haircut and his mom was laid up for a bit. I ended up not having a chance to use it, but the step-by-step directions seemed nearly foolproof. I know nothing is better than experience, but I think this will be a good reference book in the future.

What I liked: there are a ton of different haircuts, many of them updated, and there is information on almost everything about cutting hair
What I didn't like: there are no pictures!!! (well, like 5 of them) And the instruction is poor, hard to follow - it needs lots more pictures! What I liked: there are a ton of different haircuts, many of them updated, and there is information on almost everything about cutting hair

I would like more how-to pictures (like the cover).

Needs more pictures explaining step-by-step.

Cutting hair is a visual, tactile experience, and I think learning how to do it should be the same. This book doesn't have enough pictures. Period.
