This book is fantastic. Helps with everything you ever wanted to know about your hair. Makes my styling time a breeze.
Only wish I could afford to have Nick cut my hair!

When he talks about "ethnic hair", he is only referring to African-American or Latina hair. No mention of any other people who also have hair who might like to be included in this book. Doesn't he live in NYC? What a jerk.

Very good book with great tips but I wish it had more pictures with ideas for several different kinds of hairs.


1 out of 5 stars General information that all females who are 15 years of age or older already know   July 26, 2009

It contains general information that all females who are 15 years of age or older already know. You can learn this information from your friends, your mothers and the Internet.

For example, in chapter 5 "Styling at Home" from page 91 to 125, the author shows the readers how to use hair products. He says holding spray is used for finishing hair of all types. To use it, hold it 6-8 inches from your head and spray directly onto hair.
He also shows you how to blow dry your hair.
From page 121 to 122, he shows you how to do French twist with 2 drawings. If you don't know how to do it in advance, you'll certainly won't able to do it after reading this book.

It's a waste of money. "Great Hair" by David Boston and "Good to Great Hair" by Robert Vetica are more useful and easy to learn.

It's a great book for teenagers because it's full of fluff. This book does not show you how to style hair. Nick Arrojo just talks and talks and talks about how the end result but hardly any instruction on how to get there. Also the styles are "meh" - nothing out of the ordinary.

This book boasts of creating styles for weddings, vacations and job interviews... Let me give you a taste of how he describes "creating" the look for job interviews:

"The key element on a job interview is to look professional, polished and well groomed. Make sure you've got a great hair cut and, if you're into color make sure that no roots are showing. You'll be most likely sitting across the desk from the interviewer, so it will be the top half that he or she will be connecting with. Keep your hair out of your face so you don't have to keep pushing it out of your eyes.

Whenever I conduct an interview with a potential employee, I always look for him or her to be wearing a hair shape and style befitting a modern, pulled together professional and, a similar approach is your best bet. DOnt got for a style that you would normally not try to do. I've seen it myself - people come into the interview looking great, and then on their first day of work they look totally different. Make sure you style your hair in that way, if they ask you back, still looks like you when you return."

Like I said, NOTHING about how to style your hair. Completely NOT HELPFUL.

You're better off picking up a magazine from a hair salon than wasting your money on this.
