Although this book is now out of date (due to the release of the new book) it is full of information that is not normally included in the Nails textbooks. Additionally it explains everything in plain language. I incorporate this information from this text into my lectures at school since it helps the students to understand exactly what I am talking about.

Written for nail technician students, this is an easy to read and knowlegeable book. It describes how nails are formed and discusses types of products for natural and artificial nails. This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand his/her nails and be knowledgeable about selecting a nail technician and/or purchasing products. Most of the book is about nail enhancement products and application techniques. I would have liked more information about natural nail products with brand names mentioned and hope the author will be inclined to write another book devoted to this topic.

Thanks to Doug Schoon for writing such a truly useful and insightful book. I thought it would be hard to read, but I read it in one day. I just couldn’t stop. I’ve read it again several times since. It was so exciting to finally have truthful answers to my questions. This book should be required reading for everyone in the professional salon industry. Mr. Schoon is a wonderfully talented writer who takes the time to explain things in everyday lanauge. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

As a nail technician, I want to know all about the chemicals I work with everyday. Mr. Schoon’s book was simple to read, but even better, easy to understand. The book is non-product specific so it doesn’t matter what product line a tech is suing now, or might use in the future.
Understanding the chemicals I use gives me a one-up advantage over others in my field.
