Vidal Sassoon
From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
Vidal Sassoon
To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.
Vidal Sassoon

Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye.
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
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.
