For me the working of hair is architecture with a human element.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
You either create something and you keep it a secret and you die with it, or you can benefit the craft.

Image
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.

Mary Quant is my favourite fashion designer.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
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 you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.

My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.

I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.

Image
To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.

Image
My greatest regret is selling my company.
Vidal Sassoon
Image
A working woman could save a few shillings a week, and then every five weeks she'd come in and we'd cut her hair. She could shampoo it under the shower, swing it and dry it off or just let it dry by itself. It changed the lives of many young girls who'd never had the opportunity to be styled like that before.

Realizing our society as it is, without theology dogmatically telling us how we should react to it, and being humane toward that society, that is all that we're sure of.

If you look good, we look good.

I don't sort of sit in a chair and pompously feel proud of myself about all the things we might have accomplished.
