Highly informative and extremely easy to read – anyone studying nails will learn plenty from this book whether read cover to cover our just dipped into and read randomly. Plenty of popular myths busted and misconceptions corrected, even experienced practitioners will find something they didn’t know in here.

I’ll be purchasing the rest of this series. I learned so much about some of the mistakes I’ve been making and how to avoid making them and others. I have adjusted some of my methods and seen immediate results regarding my personal health and safety (I did a color change today and completely avoided skin contact with my product. Yay me!)

Having studied anatomy, biology, and chemistry before getting back into to the nail industry, I find this book incredibly informative without having to fully turn my “medical brain” back on. Mr. Schoon has a very matter-of-fact, easy-to-understand way of explaining even the most intricate of subjects without making even the newest nail tech. feel unknowledgeable. And, it is an easy read. His books should be required reading for all nail tech. instruction courses!

Learned TONS of terrific stuff in this book. I’m not a professional nail technician but I am so glad I took the time to read through what I should know. And it wasn’t too much time, either. Mr. Schoon gets straight to the point, limiting what he has to share to just what is necessary for us to know. Love that!
