Purchase options and add-ons

For decades the primary reference for cosmetology licensure, Milady's Standard Textbook of Cosmetology has undergone the most thorough transformation in its history with this new edition. Milady has totally revamped the organization and contents to bring the Standard into the new century. In its contents and art, both of which are new to this edition, the book reflects the changes in salon and spa treatments, procedures, and products. New chapters such as "Life Skills" by Arlene Alpert and "Communicating for Success" by Catherine Frangie start students on the right path, stressing the soft skills that professionals know is the key to success. NAHA award-winner Mary Brunetti also wrote the chapters "Shampooing, Rinsing, and Conditioning" and "Hair Styling." Ruth Roche, another NAHA-award winner, has created a totally new "Haircutting" chapter, complete with step-by-step technicals on the core cuts. The look of the text mirrors the changes in content, with its open feel, contemporary design, and high-quality photography. Having been developed after extensive analysis by educational design experts, the textbook exhibits the most sophisticated methods for relaying information, stimulating thought, aiding comprehension, and enhancing retention. Central to the book's development was the knowledge that learners need to keep engaged through a visual, inviting display when they turn each page, and that steered the direction of the text design and art program.

3.0 out of 5 stars Informative
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2013
Verified Purchase
I expected this book to provide more up-to-date information and more guidance than I have been able to find on the internet. Although this book contained a lot of good information that has remained true over time, it was very general. The book contained many things that I already know. Although I have never gone to cosmetology school, this information would have served me well if I needed a refresher in the basics. I have afro-textured hair, and I have had to learn to take care of it on my own (since it looks better on my head than on the floor or in the trash) based on my current location. This book is ok if you need to learn very basic things. The language in which it is written is simple.

So happy to have this. I have the newest version but the red seal test has terms in it that the newer one doesn’t have, so I was recommended to get an older model.

This book is awesome, I studied hairdressing in 2007 and I remembered my teacher used that same text. It has all the information I needed for hair, massage and nails. I would recommend this book to anyone.
