Top Tel Aviv hairstylist Eric Mayost is the owner of one of the city's most trendy salons; he has styled hair for ads, television shows, and leading fashion magazines; and he has led professional hairstyling courses and seminars. He is known for creating hairstyles that are innovative and hip. Mayost is also the author of Spectacular Hair (Sterling), Gorgeous Wedding Hairstyles (Sterling) and Fabulous Teen Hairstyles (Sterling).

Classy, glamorous, exquisite, intricate! The 34 hairstyles contained in
this guide will be the envy of many young women. In the book's front
matter, stylist Mayost gives definitions, tools, and accessories needed
to for the job. Then instructions for each style follow, using a
four-page format that begins with a full-page color photograph of the
model showing the finished 'do. Step-by-step instructions follow with
detailed text and a color photograph to illustrate. The final photo in
each section is again of the finished hairstyle. Models represent
different ethnic groups and have different hair types. Mayost is known
for his elaborate hair designs and cover styles for magazines, so it is
not surprising that this guide goes beyond your average French braid.
Though it proclaims, "no professional styling skills required," most of
the featured styles are difficult and take between 13 and 15 steps to
complete. This is Mayost's fourth hairstyle book, and it will likely be
popular in high school and public libraries.
