Ruslan Tatyanin is the author of such hairstyles collections as “ Fashion of XX century”, “Metamorphosises”, “Kokoshniks”, “Hollywood of Ruslan Tatyanin”, “The Woman in red”, “Real beauty”, “Stylist in the big city”and others.

He is also the author of the book “The Best hairstyles for all occasions”. The album presents 50 various images divided on three basic units: hairstyles for a school leavers party, evening and wedding hairstyles. The book is addressed not only and not so much to professionals, but mostly to ordinary women who can reproduce these hairstyles at home without the help of the stylist due to detailed step-by-step instructions and photos.

The book “The Best hairstyles for all occasions” will help readers to emphasize there own unique style and to look magnificent in any situation at rather small expenses.

- I have devoted the book to my mum who has been the ideal of beauty since the childhood for me. There were not so many holidays in her life - life of a simple Soviet engineer. I want to correct it with my work - writes Ruslan in the foreword to his book.

- I was born and have grown in the USSR - in the country which doesn’t exist any more. Almost all women had sad faces that time. Looking at them every day I decided that sometime I’d give them a real holiday. So I have chosen a trade that is maybe not absolutely traditional for men.

I know very well what a woman wants. If I wasn’t sure in it, this book would never appear. What is the most important - styles and images which I offer suit all women without exception and women understand that. Romantic, womanly, effective, magnificent, elegant - their palette is incredibly various. But there is one common thing for all of them - I never admit vulgarity. My aim is simple - I want each woman to be beautiful and attractive. This book will help all women to look so.
