An excerpt:

"No other branch of the profession requires more artistic skill and study than does the Art of Hairdressing.
 
While perhaps certain underlying fundamental principals must be followed, yet no restraining rules should ever be applied, and free scope should be given to the expression of individual artistry. This book has been compiled with this thought foremost in mind, and it is hoped that it will act as an encouragement to those seeking the highest skill in this art...
 
--we must admit that hairdressing is more than a merely mechanical operation, and that it truly is an art, concerning itself with the emphasizing of all natural charms and beauty and the hiding or minimizing of facial imperfections."
