Customer Reviews

A meticulous guide to advanced electrical facial and body therapy salon treatments!
As a lecturer of Beauty Therapy this book in my opinion offers meticulous attention to detail in the study of electrical facial and body treatments for students; and is particularly suitable for those students specialising in electrical treatments. This revised version also covers essential legal requirements; health and safety; and client care and consultation. A new feature in this book is the assessment guidance it provides. This is a suitable and detailed guide, pitched at the correct level for advanced electrical Beauty Therapy study for use by lecturers and students alike.

The Essential Book For Electrical Facial and Body Treatments
This book gives thorough instruction on the main electrical treatments available today in the salon. Some of the topics, such as basic salon hygiene and saftey procedures felt unecessary as a student reaching the electrical treatment stage should have learnt these things backwards already. I suppose it does no harm to repeat them. The descriptions and uses of treatments was explained very cleary along with the method. Any student studying from this book should be left with a clear understanding of the treatments available to increase the effectivness of facial and body treatments. I was slightly disappointed that such treatments as chromolite and laser therapy were not covered in this book. Overall a well written text book for the beauty electrical student.
