Vidal Sassoon
So I was shampooing at 14. But I've always thought that had I the opportunity for an education, I would have been an architect. There's no question about it.
Vidal Sassoon
Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.
Vidal Sassoon
It's okay saying sorry, but when you are drunk you say what you really feel.
Vidal Sassoon
If you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.
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
