“Vintage Styles – retro looks that are perfect for today. Great hairstyles never go out of fashion.”

“I'm a very visual person. I have to see someone do something in order to determine if I am doing it correctly. The step-by-step directions with accompanying images are the next best thing to having Lauren right next to you. The steps are clear and concise… In order to get a better education on how to recreate vintage hairstyles, you'd have to enroll in beauty school. Lauren Rennells has really brought hair from the past into the reach of the modern girl.”

What our Readers are Saying...

“I learned a ton from the first edition about doing my hair - and believe me, I was a complete novice. Some gals are asking if the 2nd edition is worth it. In a word, YES! The 1st edition is 163 pages, with 25 styles; and the 2nd edition is 200 pages with 33 styles, 15 of which are brand new. I will happily keep my original edition, but if you're only going to buy one - buy the 2nd edition and be on your way to the perfect style to complete your vintage look!”

“When I got your book I was completely blown away. I was expecting a smallish, thin book with a few hairstyles in it, but instead I got a real resource guide. I can't tell you how happy I am and this is the best $30 I ever spent! This book is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS - from the graphics, photos, instructions and the models - everything is perfect. I am going to try each hairstyle out, and I am sure that I will be able to do them all because the instructions are so well written.”
