When you choose one of the leading hair style magazines or black
hair magazines over other publications, you gain access to the latest
trends and insider secrets in the beauty industry. No longer will you
have to wait until a trend becomes popular and dozens of people are
wearing it before you catch on. By subscribing to a hair style
magazine, you can keep your eye on the upcoming styles and get them
before anyone else.

So, which style magazine should you buy? Here are reviews of
five of the leading hair style magazines to aid you in your decision
(and details of how you can get them at discounted prices):

" American Salon. American Salon is the leading hair style
magazine among professionals. Inside the pages of this magazine are
insider trade secrets, trends and techniques that have just been
introduced by top-of-the-line beauty professionals. Here you can learn
about the latest innovative products and beauty treatments, the newest
cutting and color trends, and other tidbits of knowledge at the same
time that the professionals do. While this magazine is great to keep
informed of all that is going on in the beauty industry, it is not
ideal for choosing your next hair cut. Filled with industry jargon and
how-to articles, most of the information contained in this hair style
magazine would not be fully appreciated by a non-professional.

" Celebrity Hairstyles. If you're looking for all of the hot
styles worn in Hollywood, Celebrity Hairstyles could be just the hair
style magazine to bring it all together for you. Ever wonder how Hilary
Duff and Faith Hill got those softly tousled locks? Wonder no more. Not
only is this hair style magazine full of color photos of the latest
celebrity styles, it also has technical how-to information that you can
take along with you to the salon.

" Hype Hair. When it comes to finding a leading black hair
magazine, there is none better than Hype Hair. Called the "the style
handbook for today's black woman," Hype Hair features up-to-date
innovative hairstyles, interviews, contests and funky fresh hair
styles. From the sleek and sedate to the funky and corn rowed, there is
a style for everyone in this black hair magazine.

" Modern Salon. This hair style magazine is similar to
American Salon in that it caters to professionals only. Featuring the
latest trends and interviews with top professionals, Modern Salon takes
a fresh and modern look at the beauty industry in its entirety
including nails, make-up, hair, color, skin care.

" Short Hair Styles. This is perhaps the hair style magazine
and black hair magazine that I have seen brought into the salon most
often by clients. The pages of Short Hair Styles are filled with color
photos of the latest color and cutting styles. In here, you can find a
cut for any texture of hair and ethnicity. From the textured spike to
the soft curled, there is really a short style for everyone in this
magazine.

In addition to these hair style magazines, there are several
women's magazines that offer great hair care advice. Vogue, Glamour and
First are just a sampling of the many magazines that feature in-depth
hair care articles and advice from top hair care professionals. For
many, these magazines are the best way to keep up with current trends
and style ideas.
