Lots of tips and tricks of the industry. Perfcetly explained list of products that you would need in irder to start.

If you want a good all round guide to wig making and dressing this is it. I’ve been a wig maker for 30 years and bought this book to see if there was anything new to be learnt. Wig making is an old craft and while there’s nothing new, this book is well written covering all aspects and with many good photos of all techniques including wig dressing and the history of wigs. I really enjoyed it and Melanie Bouvet certainly knows her craft.

This book tells you (and shows you in very clear images) everything you need to get started making industry standard wigs & facial postiche. There is also a large section on how to dress wigs using lots of different techniques. This is the best book on wigmaking I have seen. If your interested in making wigs or how wigs are made then go for it, I'm glad I did :).

Excellent book if you are interested in learning the basics of wig construction and wig styling. Highly recommended!

Très illustré et bonnes explications. Prise d'empreinte pour perruques/barbes/moustaches, fabrication d'une monture/bonnet, méthode d'implantation, tous les outils nécessaires pour la fabrication, création de weft et de postiches, exemple de coiffures avec mise en plus, divers façons de faire une prépa perruques. Tout est illustré pas à pas . Selon moi ce livre ne dispense pas d'une formation mais il est un excellent support d'apprentissage pour les débutants ou autodidactes et d'infos/methodes pour les plus confirmés . Il manque à mon goût plus d'exemple pour créer des bonnets mais dans l'ensemble ce livre est très complet.

とても丁寧な説明でわかりやすいです。良い本です。

Questo lo amo, spiega molte cose sulle realizzazioni delle parrucche!

It’s a good book which walks you through the process of wig making with notes about the various differences between the needs film/tv and theatre. Sections included touch on hair prep before wig application; taking measurements; creating your cling film mould; and types of hair as well as making facial hair and how to care for your creations. If you are a novice it is a great introduction. If you work in film/tv as I do it is a damn good reference book to keep on hand. My only complaint has nothing to do with the the knowledge therein, rather, it is about the condition of the book as I received it. I admit I like my books to be pristine, I am a bit of a stickler in that regard. The book I received had a couple of small cover tears; crushed corners; and black smears on the cover. My initial feeling was that the book was used though it was listed as new. Upon further inspection I realised only the cover was cracked as the rest of the pages looked pristine (with a couple of notable exceptions). Not wishing to go through another return process I talked myself into erring for of my OC.

I really love all the information in this book thank you so much for sharing your Gift with all of us Respectfully Bridgette
