The Beauty Industry
The beauty industry is now a multinational, multi-million dollar business. In recent years its place in contemporary culture has altered hugely as salons have become not simply places to have your hair cut or your nails done, but increasingly sites of physical and even spiritual therapy. In this fascinating and nuanced study, Paula Black strips away many popular assumptions about the beauty industry, including the one that says it exploits people's insecurity by projecting an illusory beauty myth. The interviews in this book - both with the beauty industry's workers and its clients - reveal a far more complex and interesting picture, and, in their presentation, Black re-formulates many feminist debates around choice and constraint. The debates addressed include issues around the body; the construction and maintenance of gender identity; changing definitions of health and well-being; and labour processes.
An Holistic Guide to Massage
An Holistic Guide to Massage incorporates the links between body, mind and soul in the search for well-being. This approach has not been taken by any other text written about massage. Other texts currently available tend to focus on one theory and one theory only, whereas this book encourages students to look at the wider picutre encompassing different theories. Students are then able to make their own mind up about which massage therapy to practice.
Forewarned Is Forearmed
This book deals with the legal issues hairdressers face when carrying out chemical services. When I received a letter from a no win no fee solicitor itemising 10 actions carried out on their 'client' in my salon that had apparently caused damage to her hair and therefore rendered us negligent, I was mortified. I felt sick. Once I had spoken to the three stylists involved it was apparent to me that we were being wrongly accused. We agreed we wanted to fight the allegations. One of the things that helped me throughout the case was knowing about other cases and having the ability to make comparisons. I am compelled to write this book to share information, give guidance and help build confidence in dealing with matters of this nature.
