ABOUT
THE BOOK
Cut
Hair At Home Like A Pro, by Steve
Ross Woodham, is a practical, easy - to - read
instructional book.
Want to learn the basics? It's an illustrated
teaching tool filled with anecdotes and advice for
anyone interested in haircutting and styling
techniques.
Simple and encouraging, Woodham is a "you - can
- do - this" kind of mentor.
Motivated by the
popularity of classes he taught at Escondido (CA)
Adult School, Woodham explains, "I could see
what beginners were having trouble catching onto.
There are no real useful instructions with the
clippers you buy in stores, so there's a real need
for something like this. You can save money and it's
really fun."
According to Woodham, all hair cuts described in his
illustrated step-by-step book are variations of
three basic cuts.
In addition, the author clarifies how to apply them
by describing
what to look for when you're |
|
purchasing
tools of
the trade: scissors, specialized combs, types of
electric clippers, and other items that are required
for the work of cutting and shaping hair.
Basic instruction includes suggestions for left -
handers and helpful approaches to the styling of
hair that's unfamiliar to the barber or just plain
difficult to manage.
When the book was originally published in 1992,
Woodham placed ads in nationally recognized
magazines, and was surprised by the large number of
responses, especially those from mostly rural areas.
Special sections about how to cut your own hair and
Afro-type haircutting are included, as well as
instructions for the left-handed. Cut Hair
At Home Like A Pro offers the knowledge of the
master to anyone who aspires to become a master.
