More quotes by Vidal Sassoon
Take good advice, make sure it is good advice, then do it your way.
Vidal Sassoon
Judaism is important to me from a tribal point of view.
Vidal Sassoon
Hair excited me. As the old ways - backcombing, rollers and rigidity - went out of the window, I started to feel the possibilities in front of my eyes.
Vidal Sassoon
We learned to put discipline in the haircuts by using actual geometry, actual architectural shapes and bone structure. The cut had to be perfect and layered beautifully, so that when a woman shook it, it just fell back in.

If someone were to ask me, 'What's the number one thing, in essence, that you left behind?'... it was the teaching of others, so that they could take my work and take it further.

It's hard to give advice. There are so many people, how do you give major advice to a group of people, it's very presumptuous.
Vidal Sassoon
To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.

When I was about 10 I ran away to see my father. He couldn't have cared less. He just took me back as soon as he could.
Vidal Sassoon
I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me, 'Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face?' And I said, 'Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin.'
Vidal Sassoon
The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?
Vidal Sassoon
Most people have excellent necks. Now they cover them with curtains, which is kind of ridiculous. But there are some beautiful necklines that you can cut into and create wonderful backs, as well as bone structure for the face.
Vidal Sassoon
As stylists, we're groundshakers and daymakers. I was always in hair.
Vidal Sassoon
Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer.
Vidal Sassoon
From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
Vidal Sassoon
I got a telegraph from my mother who said that my step-father had had a heart attack, come home and earn a living. So I went back to England and the only thing I knew to earn any cash was through hairdressing.
Vidal Sassoon
When the doubters tell you it can't be done and all kind of tragedies will come your way, I say nonsense. If you can get to the very root of who you are and make something happen from it, my sense tells me you are going to surprise yourself.
Vidal Sassoon
I don't sort of sit in a chair and pompously feel proud of myself about all the things we might have accomplished.
Vidal Sassoon
There were so many pretty girls coming into the salon as clients, and others working in the salon. And I thought, 'Hmm. This is rather nice.'
Vidal Sassoon
You must always do what you feel is right.
