More quotes by Vidal Sassoon
My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.
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
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
You never argued with my mother. You couldn't win.
Vidal Sassoon
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.
Vidal Sassoon
If you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.
Vidal Sassoon
Beauty is.. The passionate and positive expression of the complete self.
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.
Vidal Sassoon
My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me.
Vidal Sassoon
To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.
Vidal Sassoon
From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
Vidal Sassoon
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.
Vidal Sassoon
The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?
Vidal Sassoon
My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous.
Vidal Sassoon
I'm a great jazz fan.
Vidal Sassoon
I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.
Vidal Sassoon
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.
Vidal Sassoon
To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.
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
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.
