Summary: Lucky to know the author
Comment: I happen to know the author and she is the greatest inspiration. I can't wait for her new book coming out probably in December 2004. I took my mom to Laura's salon today and she was delighted when I gave her a copy of the book. I just finished taking Laura's class through the Learning Exchange and she's inspired me to change my life. Just reading her book improved my look. Laura is an incredible down to earth person hardly aware of her celebrity status. This book can save you hundreds of dollars in cosmetic purchases while helping you learn to pamper your friends and family. Using the instructions in this book I gave my best friend a pedicure while she nursed her newborn baby. The baby was early and she missed her pedicure appointment. Even if you live in Sacramento and go to Laura's salon and day spa you will still love this book. You can buy lots of products at her website. I haven't found a product yet that disappointed me and I am a confessed product junkie.

Summary: Great book, only one concern ...
Comment: I've had this book for only three days, and already I've put avocado and mayonnaise in my hair (with good results), doctored up some shampoo (with good results), put milk of magnesia on my husband's face, as well as paste made from aspirin and water (for blemishes!) and scrubbed my skin with olive oil and sugar (with good results).
My *only* concern is about hair removal. DuPriest advocates waxing, and I'm going to try it on my legs. But for hair on a woman's chin, I understand it should only be removed by electrolysis in order to stop regrowth, and that waxing or tweezing will stimulate the folicle, affect the hormones that cause chin-hair growth, and cause the hair to grow in thicker. This information came from an electrologist, so it could be a case of she said, she said. Waxing is certainly cheaper than electrolysis, and for many areas of the body, I think it's ideal. I would like to see a future edition of this book address the chin issue.
Apart from that one concern, I am really enjoying the many, many ideas in the book. My wish list has grown considerably to include strawberries for my face, rollers (not hot rollers) for my hair, cornstarch for the waxing process, moisturizer containing glycolic acid for nighttime, another moisturizer containing sun block for daytime and more avocados for my hair. This book has the kind of information that can put a reader in a definite girly phase, which is very handy for enduring a brutal winter.
I would consider giving the book five stars if the editors had caught all the grammatical errors, but several, from basic to obscure, made it through the editing process.
Great ideas, at any rate.

Summary: A gem: Information I've never found anywhere else
Comment: Specifically, my review title is referring to three chapters.
One is a chapter on waxing hair. It includes a recipe for making a sugar wax at home. I'm one of those people who just hates paying to have someone else wax my legs and since shaving every day is irksome and time-consuming, I was really happy to find this information. Best of all, the recipe and instructions work great. I figure I paid for the book with my first leg waxing.
The second chapter is the one on shaping eyebrows. I already knew how to determine where the eyebrows should begin and end, but this chapter showed how to shape what's in between. It also showed common mistakes that people make.
Finally, in the hair-care chapter, there were great instructions on how to blow dry hair the way they do in a salon. I've never found such detailed instructions for that before and found them quite helpful.
