Practical Guide to Wig Making and Wig Dressing (Crowood Theatre Companions)

This book is very informative and perfect for beginners. I love the step by step instructions. And the resources that is given.

I've had this one for a couple years now. It's been really helpful as a beginner. I'd just like to point out that it doesn't go into detail on the whipping technique, but a quick search online will give you some good video tutorials for it.

Great wig book! It show so much detail! A great book for making sturdy wigs! I would recommend! Very detailed!

Can I give this book 10 stars? I would if I could, this book has everything! If you are just getting started, or if you are an experienced pro GET THIS BOOK!

The most amazing book for wig stylists in both theatre and film. Thank for this gift.

Wonderful book! Get It!

The best wig guide for the serious wigmaker out there!!!!

Great book and has a ton of good information

El libro esta muy completo, explicación completa de como realizar pelucas completas y diferentes peinados de varios siglos, aunque esté en inglés con las imágenes se entiende perfectamente

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.

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.

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.
