I would never even consider using any other curriculum than Milady! As long as I have been an educator, Milady has always been a pillar in cosmetology education. The Milady textbook is a great source of information and is always well written with exceptional photos and images. I keep a copy to reference in almost every subject area of the curriculum. This book creates clear, concise procedures with diagrams or photos to help students with different learning styles. Also the layout is easy-to-follow as well as review from.
