  • I love your vintage-style hair and makeup in this video -- very beautiful, classy and feminine! I definitely want this book (and the look). I was searching for reviews on this book which is how I found your video, and I just became your newest fan. I know this is off-topic, but I would love to know the paint brand name and color of the wall behind you! Very retro and pretty shade of green. :-) ~Vicki~

  • you look so lovely in this video

    i really really love your hair

  • I'm buying the book w my gov refund! Yay!

  • you should hold a contest and give a copy of the book away for the prize.

  • I want to buy that book, but it's a bit pricey :(

  • @VanessaR25 it is entirely worth it. You will get SO much use out of it. I still glance thru it daily.

  • I'm so very excited that my copy of the book finally arrived in the mail yesterday!! Flipping through the pages filled my head with so many ideas of how/where I'm going to wear these beautiful styles. Thank you so much for bringing this book to light, especially for your Canadian gals who can't buy the book in any stores here.

  • Im so jealous that you have that book lol

  • I want that book! thank you so much for mentioning it. I <3 u.

  • where did you get this snood? I think i like it better than the new ones

  • Really? I think it's very 'lunch lady'. haha. It's a very fine black thread w/ elastic around the top. I got it at the Vegas car show last year...I don't remember the seller. But I'll bet you could find one similar to it at Sally's...in the ethnic section. It is used to maintain hair when sleeping, I believe.

  • My word! I need that book! haha Thank you so much!

  • well well how can i not get the book after that LOL

    oh i'm getting it asap

  • Thank you I love your review. I want this book so bad.

  • oh ma goodness please do a tutorial on this style!! or at least show me how to do the bangs!! pretty please?!?!

  • I'm doing something similar on Tuesday...check back. :)

  • ive been looking for some authentic beehives does it have a page on it?

  • yepper...:)

  • All the positive comments about this book have convinced me to buy two copies next payday 1for my (tiny local) theater group, we try to do a different period melodrama/comedy each year, & one for my daughters & I to share. I've only jst found you but I love every vid so far.

  • this book IS beautiful....pictures are well organized and instructions easy to follow...its just a lil frustrating if u arent that experienced ....but thats why u practice....RIGHT ladies =)The transformations are incredible....Everything u have said in this video....ur interpretation of this book....omg...the quality its soooo pretty LOTS of color...ok im rambling! i love my book...ty for the "GUSHING" lol so long

  • guess what! i got this book for christmas :) thanks to your brilliant suggestion. havn't tried anything yet, however i've read it back to front!! thanks so much for all of your videos ashley :)

  • I put this book on my letter to Santa and my boyfriend got it for me! I love it so, so, so much. My only problem is that I can't decide which style to try first. They're all so beautiful!

  • Thank You.!! I will have a go.. and hopefully try and make a video for you (:

    xx

  • Hi hun..! I love your videos. But just asking would you be able to make a tutorial for a Sailor Look? I'm going to a costume party in January, so would be amazing if you can do either a 1960's Sailor Look or... a pearl harbor woman's look. If you know what I mean (:

    Also.. I Love your hair colour and your hair styles are beautiful xx!!

  • I recommend the Pearl Frush victory roll tutorial in my Pin Up Series. The victory roll is only on one side and the saily hat would look ideal, cocked to one side behind it, on the light side of the part! Also, the Dorothy Dandridge hairstyle would look cute  with a sailor hat on the back of the head. Let me know how it works out.

  • Your hair style in this video is Gorjuss,,u did an awesome job,,,and I so want that book.I plan on cutting my hair short just to try these hair do's.I'm so excited.

  • My goodness I'm so glad I came on to your channel because I was trying to think of a christmas present my boyfriend could give me, and this is perfect! Thank you so much for reviewing this book. It definitely looks worth it!

  • I enjoy your tutorials etc SO much and I have ordered the Lauren Rennells book as well as the other one you like by Ivan Anderson. I also bought Lipsense for my '40s looks when I need long lasting lipstick. I just started watching "You Tube"and I enjoy yours the most. I think I've just about seen them all. Keep up the good work!

  • My 22nd Birthday is Dec. 8th and Im getting this book! YAY! :)

  • Got my book for my Birthday! Yay! And yes, it IS gorgeous! My first thoughts: it might be a "learning style" thing but when I first started watching your videos I thought, hmm...maybe I can Do that. And looking at all the "how to" pics in the book, I think "uh oh...this looks hard". Kind of like getting intimidated when you look at a recipe with a long list of ingredients. But I will def be proceeding with due diligence trying to recreate these styles. They're so beautiful!

  • Thank you! This book sounds like gold!

  • is the Gibson in this book?

  • Yes, it's called the Veda in the book.

  • and have you done this tutorial......for the Veda

  • No, as I mentioned in this and several other videos, I have not been given permission by Lauren to exhibit any more of her tutorials than the ones I have done for you thus far. Sorry. :) But you can always get the book.

  • I need this book! I'm going to be writing up a Christmas list tomorrow. My mom says she needs ideas because she has absolutely no idea what gifts I would enjoy. Also this is a great gift idea for me to get one of my friends! I can't thank you enough for you videos--and Lauren

  • Just wanted to let you know, I got to look through the book and it's just great! I even got a chance to meet the author herself! Unfortunetly i didn't buy it. But that dosen't mean i won't! It's a definite must!

  • Just received my book today-it's glorious, although I tried 'the homemaker' and pooped it up with the top part haha! try and try again!

  • I will definitely be picking up this book. Very excited. Vintage hair styles are too cute and I'm always trying to think of something to do with my hair and my style is quite vintage and classic because I'm a dorky movie buff. Thanks for the suggestion and I'll spread the word about the book.

  • dont worry i am getting the book and supper glad i found you and the same thing i thought to my self why doesnt she have more viewers your awsome and i have been looking some one like u and i found u soooo glad i did

  • I just ordered this book! Im so excited. I've been searching for a book like this for years. I managed to get my hand on a vintage 1950's beauty school book but this looks fantastic!

    And you look fantastic! Love the hair! (as always!)

  • What decades does this cover? Thanks.

  • The 20's fingerwave to the 60's beehive. :)

  • does this book use vintage techniques or does it use modern techniques to achieve vintage styles?

  • It uses both. I know you are concerned about heat on your hair (see I HAVE been listening). This book explains how to use cold sets as well as heated ones and if you like a certain style that uses heat, I can let you know the best way to achieve that style without it! :)

  • Oh! and the "receptionist" is my very favorite. Even my 10 yr old had me fix her hair like that! So cute!

  • So cute! My favorite is the Pin Up and the "for the boys' style is also gorgeous. Can't wait to try them all!

  • OMG...this book is the best. I wouldn't say that Im a master of hair, and this book made every step soooo easy. All of the hairstyles are beautiful and simpler than they may seem. But I love that it does use modern techniques, so it's way easier (and faster being I have pretty thick hair) to use rollers vs. pin curls for me. If u dont own this book...Get it! u wont be disappointed. Thanx Lisa for recommending it! I love ur video's...ur the best!

  • Ohh thanks soo much dear!!!!

  • Where can i take this book, i live in Spain!! Maybe on the net???

  • You can get it on Amazon!

  • I wear the Pin Up look. I love that style !

  • Where you get this book?

  • There are links in the sidebar. You can also get it from Amazon.

  • I've watched your review on this several times, and I finally decided I needed to just go ahead and order it. :D I can't wait till it comes!

    Oh, am I correct in my assumption that this book does *not* include the cutting guides for the middy, etc?

  • I think you'll be very happy with it. The haircutting guides are not included but the styles in this book cater to all hair lengths so that is a plus!

  • I ordered this!!!!!!! Yay!!!

  • Purchased!

  • I ordered this book and it's on its way. It should be here in a couple days. I'm excited! Thanks for the review.

  • you look so fabulous.. i hope that you do a tutorial on this style.. =D

  • I posted several annotations about that. I think for this style, you'll have to get the book. ;-)

  • I ordered this book the first time I saw this video... it arrived, and I opened it and DIED. Then I was revived from the dead, managed to open a page, and died AGAIN.

    It is the most beautiful, wonderful, glorious, fantastic, swell, whatever other words one might find for FREAKING PERFECT.

    It's just... no words can describe how heavenly this book is.

    A million thanks for introducing this book! :D

  • LOL...amazing! I have to make sure Lauren sees this comment. Hilarious! I know what you mean...it's fabulous. I sat in the fetal position last Friday night reading it from cover to cover.  So entertaining and informative!

  • ...pretty much my experience ahaha! I just opened it and curled up on my couch and CRIED.

    It was glorious.

    I mean, I could actually hear the angels sining every time I opened it, like one of those singing birthday cards! ^_^

  • i went to amazon immediately after watching this and purchased this book. Im super excited for it to be delivered. Just figured i should let ya know, being it was ur goal to promote the book for her.

  • That's great! You will just love it. :)

  • I just perfected the art of winged liquid liner and I experiment with vintage hairstyles too. I am very very excited to get this book! I love this style!

  • Thank you so much for the tip on the book! I will definitely have to check it out. I have always have had a hard time creating 40s hairstyles due to my stubborn hair that never wants to curl lol.

  • where can u get the book?

  • I finally got my copy of the second edition of this book and it is so worth it!

    For anyone who has the first edition, buy the second edition!!!

    There are a lot more styles, she goes into more detail with the different types of curls, features how to curl with steam/soft rollers, goes more into detail with the velcro rollers....I could go on and on....but it is really worth buying the second edition :)

  • I have the 1st edition of this book so it looks like I'll be getting the 2nd lol.

  • i love the book explaining all the diffrent types of old skool hair do's. your a good looking gal! your great<3

  • Comment removed

  • Just bought the book and I can't wait to get it!!! I'll let you know what I think and how it goes...

  • I know what you mean about doing better work when you have something to look at. Give me a blank piece of paper and I haven't the foggiest idea of what to do with it. But don't mistake that for a lack of creativity. Your creativity is what makes you jump in and say "i can do that" and then wing it when its not exactly "by the book". You are definitely an artist.

  • Your video and book have been pimped....I told my mom, aunts, friends, and dragqueens [one of the perks of living in Las Vegas].

    Thank you so much! ;-)

  • this book looks absolutely amazing! very helpful! will definitely recommend to friends!

  • hey. first i just want to let you know that your videos are great:) thanks for showing me a book i dident know exsited,me and my friend will go buy it as soon as we can:)

  • Fabulous review..Lauren is a sweetheart.I contacted her awhile back about her book because I do all the styling for my vintage photography.Also its hilarious u mentioned drag queens because Im going to be doing a dragqueen project with vintage!.hahaha

  • Thank you so much for the review! I was going to buy the book awhile back (the first edition) but I never did because I wasn't sure how much I would use it and I wasn't sure how easy it would be to follow. But after seeing this I think I'm definitely going to order it now!

  • Oh, I missed out on the first one because of budget... I've been wanting the second one so bad, and it looks like I'm going to miss it too! ;_;

  • I know what I want :D

    The book looks to good the be true ...but I still want it anyway.

  • Thank you for another great video. I'm quickly becoming a convert. Bought some liquid liner today; next on the list is red lipstick. I'll see if I can get this book in little ol' New Zealand!

  • I NEED this!! Thanks Lisa i'm always learning from your great vids! Thanks so much for posting this!

  • I'm sold! I want that book!

    I checked Barnes & Noble and Borders; they don't have it. But Amazon does. I would think it would be sold everywhere considering how awesome that book is.

    I can't wait to have the book in my hands!!!

  • Awesome book! With or without the book your videos rock!

  • wanted to let you know I tweeted a link to this vid telling people to watch to help get the word out about the book.

  • Excellent! Thanks so much!

  • Very cool! Thank you for the review!

  • Great review. I gave the first edition as a bday gift to one of my friends...and now I may have to check out the second!

  • I'm ordering it now! I've been eying it for a bit but you've convinced me. I usually go by tutorials and my Daniela Turudich book but this book looks so helpful!

  • This book is SO fun to look at as well...it's entertaining to browse it.

  • You're a work of art too darling, don't sell yourself short! You make yourself into a work of art, it's refreshing. I wish more girls were as creative as you with their styling and the way they dress. So much class and elegance has been lost to the orange-skinned, highlighted, booty-shorted mob. Keep on, Lisa, you rock. <3

  • Thanks so much for saying such lovely things!

  • As I'm sure you'll see, I too put this on my FB page. I know some girls that would love this....Yeah more subs for you, dawlin! I hope ya don't mind:)

  • Thanks Lulu!

  • Thank you so much for bringing this book to my attention. I will be buying this book! Please do a tutorial on the look in your video.

  • You are such a good pitch gal! I just shared my video on my facebook and myspace so hopefully that spreads the word out to everyone!!!

  • That's fantastic! I'm so glad....where is that little 'thumbs up' smilie when we need him?? :)

  • You look wonderfull, Ashley! You are really a good seller, your enthusiasm says it all! I don't know why hairdressing books don't usually help much with acheiving the result in the photo, but this book looks as it does.

  • PS: I'm telling all of my girlfriends about it too. Thanks Doll!

  • SOLD! Just ordered it! I enjoy watching your tutorials I have learned so much about these beautiful Vintage Hairstyles. This book is definitely going to help me a lot. Thank you so much Lisa, you're too cute!!! XOXO

  • Just ordered it! Hope it makes it all the way over to London, England without encountering our postal strike! Am going to Goodwood Revival so if it makes it over before then I shall have mega-hair! Thank you so much.

  • i have to get this book :D

    btw im struggleing with doing pincurls in my shortish hair.... any tips? its hard when there is parts (in the back mainly) where its nok long enough to get the ends inside proberly

  • I know it's tough. It's best to try different products for controlling the ends. then wrap the end around your finger before rolling...Even if it is not perfect, the curl should 'take'.

  • please please please do a tutorial on your look in this video

    its gorgeous

  • Great video,

    this book is a real must have,

    I gave my first edition away

    and now loving the second edition

  • I love your hair in this video, and seeing as YOU are so talented, I will take your word for it and order this book. And please don't feel darling, you're videos are MORE than helpful! I watch them all at night to decide how I'm going to do my hair the next day; ridiculous I know, but you've opened my eyes and my skill level up so much. Before watching your tutorials I never did anything with my hair, lamenting that I didn't know. Well, thankyou for changing that.

    CanI order this book onamazon?

  • I love your videos and I am definitely wanting to get that book now because I do the vintage style every day....what is the name of the book again and who is the author?

  • See the video title...:)

  • Definetly getting this book when I get paid.

    Could you do a tutorial with your hair! It is perfect!!

  • Your hair looks incredible! Can we get a tutorial on that one?

  • This is the kind of book I've been looking for! Thanks for sharing!! I can't wait to get it!

  • Within 2 minutes of watching this clip I was on the Vintage Hairstyle website to buy the book! Thank you so much for telling us all about it!

  • WOW!

    You look amazing!

    The Book sounds really cool!

  • I am so getting this book. Thank you so much for introducing me to the book. I love your style...I am so happy I found your chanel.

  • Excellent, I'm quite excited about this book. It seems to be exactly what I have been scouring the bookstores for and not finding. Thank you for the review. I love how absolutely excited you are, because I totally feel that way about getting it. Will spread the word!

  • I want this book!! Do you know if I can get it in Germany?

  • You are too adorable, I think when I have money again (around the 21st) I might look into this book. I'm in the process of growing my hair to the shoulder (I just need change) so this book will come in handy later.

  • I came across this book looking for another book.

  • you should do the one in the cover [the girl w/ the blue blouse]

  • That book looks sooo good. I gotta wait til I get more money though :( I really hope that you do a look based on the hairstyle you have in this vid...so cute! I gotta get this book :)

  • THANKYOU for telling us about this book,it looks amazing& i cant wait to order it- you`re so helpful!!! :D

  • you have just convinced me to purchase the book ^__^ and loving the hair in the video looking very beautiful!

  • I totally agree, this book is so ingenius! I printed out a pattern to knit a snood just so I could do the snood styles presented. Your hair is amazing, by the way!

  • Just preordered the book for myself and my sister, will share this video shorrtly with all my friend and family as well.

    Awesome video, your passion is completely infectious on this one!

  • Oh thanks so much! I was afraid I just looked like a looney! LOL

  • I WANT IT!! yeah! i love how there is ones for bettie bangs cause i have similare bangs. thanks and can't wait to see the video!

  • Wow, can you do a tutorial on this style? It's sooo beautiful... I'm in a wedding and the bride wants us to have a vintage style updo and I think something like this would be perfect! (I can't afford to get it professionally done so I'm attempting to do it myself!) I for sure am still planning on checking out this book! Thank you!

  • The one I am demonstrating from this book is really close ...I'll be posting it this weekend, perhaps. :)

  • I'm so excited, just ordered a copy from the states (it's not available here in the UK it seems).

    But estimated arrival date of early December! Guess it will have to be an early x-mas present to myself. Thanks fro the reccomendation and thank you for all of your wonderful tutorial. Your channel is my favourite subscription :)

  • I really need to get my hands on this book! It sounds like the perfect vintage guide that I've been searching for. Thanks so much for telling us about it, I think you just made the hunt that much easier! Can't wait to see some of your recreations!

  • You could work almost every style in this book, Ashley. There is a 'bomshell' style that I am especially fond of.

  • Thank you, Ashley! I cannot tell you how excited I am to see those looks on you.

  • Are you doing a tutorial on this style?? it looks amazing!!!!

  • I ordered the first one because you had mentioned it somewhere, so def gonna get the second edition. Way back in the day I had to scour ebay for vintage hairstyling books, and the instructions were diabolical!

  • Wow I really want this book. I like the fact that she has a section that shows you how to work with Bettie bangs. I'd always let my bangs grow out for a while so I could do other styles. Then, by the time they were long enough to do anything with them I'd start missing my bangs and get them cut all over again. lol

  • I absolutley LOVE your hair style in this video, I think your style alone will sell me on the book!!

  • You look gorgeous ! Your hair looks amazing ! This book looks amazing too ! I found a book about the 20's fashion trend I need to read it baddly lol.

  • I have the first edition! Love it even if all I've done is look at the pretty pictures, wishing I was coordinated enough. One of these days! She does outline everything very simply! I love your hair today!!!

  • You look FANTASTIC!!

  • Great video! Thanks so much for sharing!

    You look gorgeous btw!

  • (Love your vids, cant you tell by all my comments? lol) I have the first edition of this book and its good/okay. The second edition looks much better!

  • Hmpf, I live in Spain and I don't believe I can get it here... But I absolutely love your tutorials! Thank you so much for doing them :)

  • Which look did you create in this vid?? I love this! I would love this look for a special date with the hubby!

    P.S. You havent let us down!

  • It's one of her Snood styles!

  • I heart this book! It's by far my favorite vintage hairsyling book! I have had it since it came off the printer this summer and I love it! Love all the photos too! This is the book I wanted your feedback on and also Iris' !! I love this do on you too! Gorgeous!!!!

  • I bought the first edition (second edition is on it's way!)awhile ago and it really is an awesome book. She covers EVERYTHING when it comes to pincurls, fingerwaves, etc. and it's a real help.

    And I don't feel that you have done an injustice to your subscribers! You're videos are absolutely amazing and a real help, and I'm sure now they will get even better now that you have some inspiration!

  • Amazing! Your hair looks fantastic!!! I'm gonna go buy my copy right now! Thanks bunches!!
