Even beginners will be able to style their hair like a pro while professional stylists can fine tune their skills with Vetica's secrets and shortcuts. Step-by-step diagrams and photos illustrate different styles and how to work with tools of the trade such as curling irons, hair clips, and blow dryers. Before and after photos show readers the best hairstyles based on face shape, bone structure, type of hair, age, and personal style.

Marie Claire Hair and "Good to Great Hair" both provide innovative hair designs and insights from top stylists in beautifully designed texts. Of the two, Vetica's book is more accessible and truly delivers clear, step-by-step instructions.
