More quotes by Vidal Sassoon
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.

I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me, 'Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face?' And I said, 'Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin.'

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
Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer.

I'm a great jazz fan.

Take good advice, make sure it is good advice, then do it your way.
Vidal Sassoon
I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.
Vidal Sassoon
You never argued with my mother. You couldn't win.
Vidal Sassoon
I don't sort of sit in a chair and pompously feel proud of myself about all the things we might have accomplished.
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.
