"Milady Standard Cosmetology is great for the pictures and for keeping up with modern styles. As a cosmo student one of the main points we are taught is to not fall behind the trends and to always be keeping up to date. This book and accompanying workbook are invaluable for that. I believe it is rare to keep buying text books after school has finished every time the text book is update but almost all of my teachers stated they had their bookshelf full. Also as someone who is left handed having the left handed procedures takes so much of the guess work out of translating right handed instructions."

"For all the cosmetology enthusiasts out there, this book is certainly a must have. The book is far from boring, as it provides a wealth of information, through, words, as well as visuals. The information is easy to understand, and in some instances, provides step by step instructions on how to achieve certain looks. In addition, the Milady Standard Cosmetology textbook, is a great tool to utilize, while getting instruction from a licensed individual in the field of cosmetology. It helps to provide more information to the student, and help the student to practice what they have learned in class. A student of cosmetology will find that the book provides many uses for them."
