PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION
The fact that this edition has been completely revised, and now also covers several additional subjects, is no reflection upon the work of the first editor, the late Gilbert Foan, or upon his successor. On the contrary, it is a testimony to the excellence of the original work that, after nearly twenty years since the original printing. THE ART AND CRAFT OF HAIRDRESSING is still recognized as the standard authority on its subject.
Owing to the condition brought about as a result of the second world war, it had not been possible make any necrsary revisions for some years past; consequently, in the present edition, the revisions have been drastic. Indeed, the book you are now reading is an almost entirely new work. Naturally this has been a great task for all concerned, but it has been made lighter by reason of the
splendid pattern set by Gilbert Four, and by reason of the willing and helpful advice from so many experts in their respective fields In order that the work should have continuity of thought many of the original contributors were invited to revise their own particular chapters Others unfortunately are no longer with us, so we sought the co-operation of a number of leading specialists. In this way each Section was studied in relation to present-day needs and methods. Wherever it was found that existing methods were of a temporary nature, due to shortages or other current difficulties, the standard method has been described. But, where it was found that changes were the natural result of progress and evolution, the new methods have been dealt with
In the course of revision there have been inevitable cuts and additions, Chiropody is no longer featured, since this subject is no longer open so those who practise it only as a sideline to some other calling. On the other hand, Craft Education has taken on a new meaning, so a new Section is devoted to that subject Similarly, Art in Relation to Hairdressing is now a recognized subject in examinations, so space has been found to deal with it. In fact, every subject required for the recognized Craft examinations now fully covered in this one volume, with the exception of general elementary science, for which there are many excellent textbooks already in existence.
There have been few changes in Boardwork, or Postiche-dressing, Theatrical make-up has changed little, but cinema and television make-up has altered considerably. Indeed, practically every other subject in this edition has been completely written in the light of modern knowledge. Some subjects, notably Permanent Waving and Hair Styling, have required considerable research and new material, though, of course, Historical Hairdressing needed but slight additions. And
Competition Hairdressing is now dealt with for the first time.
On the business side, new regulations are in force and the legal situation has changed in many important respects. The Section on Hygiene needed to be rewritten so, too, did that on Trichology, as well as the piece ou Treatments and that on Beauty Culture As will be seen, the latest accepted methods of carrying out any of the processes involved in hairdressing togther with the principles of management, are now fully explained, in many cases with simple "how-to-do-" sketches Thanks are due to the spesialists who have dealt so thoroughly with their own particular subjects, and
the many others to whom we are indebted for kindly and helpful advice.
Special acknowledgment is made of the work of the artists: Miss Winifred Price, Min Elizabeth Gregory, and Mr. F. Murray Pearcey. Were we to shank by name all those who have contributed in sere measure to the production of the tent volume this Preface would develop into list of those well known in the Craft. Exceptions must, however, be made in the case of the following: Profesor J. B. Speakman, D.Sc., FT.I., of the University of Land De W. J. O'Donovan, OB.E., President of the Institute of Trichologists: Alderman Harry Thornycroft, JP, M.P. Mr. E. Fletcher-Allen, editor of the Hairdressers Journal, and Mr. E. D. Foster, formerly editor of The Hairdrer and Beauty Trade. Finally, thanks are due to the publishers for Eving facilities for such comprehensive revision.
