'The Pianist' is a movie I could watch over and over again.
Vidal Sassoon
For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.
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.

To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.
Vidal Sassoon
From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
Vidal Sassoon
If you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.
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
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
The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?
Vidal Sassoon
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
It's okay saying sorry, but when you are drunk you say what you really feel.
Vidal Sassoon
I kept thinking I would be spending my life up to my elbows in shampoo.
